School board approves construction award, renews child advocacy partnership and confirms personnel appointments
Summary
At its May 14 meeting the Cherokee County School Board approved minutes, awarded the Woodstock High School CTA construction contract to the named proposer, renewed a partnership with the Cherokee Child Advocacy Council, and approved an amended personnel agenda that included multiple school leadership appointments and the naming of Shannon Carroll as executive director of technology operations.
The Cherokee County School Board took several formal actions during its May 14 business meeting, approving minutes, awarding a construction contract, renewing a child-advocacy partnership and confirming multiple personnel appointments.
Minutes: A motion to approve the minutes from the April 23, 2026 work session and board meeting was made and seconded; the chair declared the motion carried. The transcript records the mover (speaker 9) and seconder (speaker 13) but does not record individual roll-call votes.
Construction award: On action item 1 the board considered proposals for the Woodstock High School CTA/CTAE project (proposals were received 04/30/2026) and the chair moved to award the contract to the construction company named in the motion (stated in the meeting as "Maysha"). The motion was seconded and the chair announced the motion carries. The record shows the board approved the superintendent's recommendation to proceed with the award; specific contract documents, final price and tabulation were not shown in the spoken record.
Partnership renewal: The board approved renewal of a long-standing partnership agreement with the Cherokee Child Advocacy Council; presenters said the only changes were requested edits to the council's mission statement. A board member moved the item, a second was recorded and the chair announced the motion carries.
Personnel appointments: The board approved an amended personnel agenda and the superintendent introduced several leadership appointments during the meeting. Appointments announced include Katrina Lane as principal of Woodstock Elementary School; Natalie De Veevez as assistant principal at Ralph Bunch Preschool; Daneta Harike as assistant principal at Sixes Elementary; Amy Long as assistant principal at Clark Creek Elementary; Holly Miller as assistant principal at Oak Grove Elementary; Tiffany Wilson as assistant principal at Liberty Elementary; Nicholas Garcia as coordinator of social studies and world languages; Emily Henderson as CTAE coordinator; Mary Shea as supervisor of payroll operations; and Shannon Carroll as executive director of technology operations, among others. The superintendent praised appointees' experience and noted many have long service with CCSD.
Procedural notes: For each action the transcript records motions and seconds followed by the chair's announcement that motions carried; no individual vote tallies were provided in the spoken record. Several items referenced board policy for next steps (for example, surplus property disposal under board policy DO), and the district said further formal presentations (such as inventory and surplus auction approvals) will return to the board at a later meeting.
Why it matters: the construction award begins a major CTAE facility project at Woodstock High School; the partnership renewal sustains services for children in the county; and personnel moves name multiple building-level and district leaders who will affect operations for the coming school year.
– The chair announced each motion carried; the transcript does not include an explicit roll-call or a recorded tally of yes/no/abstain votes.
