Chair approves superintendent personnel recommendations and convenes closed expulsion hearing

The Raleigh County Schools board convened and approved its agenda before taking up personnel matters and a requested expulsion hearing. Chair called the meeting to order and asked that "let your record show all board members are present." Chair then asked for and received a motion to approve the agenda; the members voted aloud and the motion carried.

The board next considered personnel items. Chair introduced the superintendent's recommendations for the 2025–26 year and said, "My recommendation is as presented." A board member moved to approve the superintendent's recommendations "as submitted," members voted aye, and Chair stated the motion carried.

Under new business, Chair announced the board would "conduct 1 expulsion hearing for 25 '26," and referenced "26 0 6" in the discussion about the case identifier. Chair noted that "the parent has requested a closed hearing" and moved that the board go into executive session "for the purpose of having [an] expulsion hearing." Members voted to enter executive session.

After the executive session, participants returned to the public meeting record. Chair called for and received a motion to come out of executive session; members voted aye and the motion carried. Chair told the record: "Let the record show that we completed 1 expulsion hearing on a student." The public transcript does not include any further details of the hearing or any vote or sanction related to that hearing.

With no further business on the agenda, Chair adjourned the meeting.
