Board approves naming Southwest High CTE classroom for Venus Bradley
Summary
The Edgecomb County Board of Education voted to name a CTE classroom at Southwest High School in honor of Venus Bradley, a longtime CTE teacher who recently passed; signage must be approved by district maintenance under policy conditions.
The Edgecomb County Board of Education approved a motion to name a Career and Technical Education classroom at Southwest High School in honor of Venus Bradley, a former CTE teacher who served the district for decades and recently passed. The naming was approved with the condition that any painting or signage be reviewed and approved by the district maintenance department.
Board members discussed whether the dedication needed additional review under the district's memorial policy (Policy 5076) in addition to the facility‑naming policy (Policy 9300). Patricia, speaking for the board's legal/staff team, advised that the proposed naming fits within the facility‑naming policy and noted the memorial policy exists separately; members agreed to proceed and consider any policy interface later if needed.
A board member moved the motion to name the classroom; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board specified the honor be displayed in the classroom (rather than a hallway) and requested maintenance approve the final signage and painting prior to installation.
The action concludes with the board directing staff to implement the approved signage according to the stated condition. No formal tally was recorded in the transcript beyond the voice vote adopting the motion.
