Hoke County Schools board approves personnel report, pay increases and contingency reallocation

The Hoke County Schools board returned to open session and approved a slate of administrative actions, voting by voice to approve a personnel report, a contingency reallocation for Hoke County High School and several pay adjustments for senior staff.

The board approved the personnel report after a motion and second. The meeting then approved a contingency reallocation described in the transcript as for "fire retention" funds at Hoke County High School; the board voted in favor by voice vote.

Board members next approved salary increases for two assistant superintendents: $3,000 for the assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction (elementary) and $5,000 for the assistant superintendent of human resources. The board also approved a stipend for the assistant superintendent of operations and information systems, recorded in the transcript as $2,500. Each item was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript does not record individual roll-call votes or the names of movers and seconders.

After completing the listed agenda actions, a member moved to adjourn, the motion was seconded and the board adjourned.

The actions approved affect personnel and near-term budget allocations for administrative positions and a contingency reallocation tied to Hoke County High School. The transcript provides no roll-call tallies, motion sponsors, or additional detail on the contingency reallocation’s source or exact use; those details were not specified in the record.
