Summary
The Orange County School Board certified a closed session and approved a package of personnel actions, then announced the appointment of Jamie Howie as assistant principal at Orange Elementary School; Howie, a product of Orange County Public Schools, pledged to prioritize students and community partnerships.
The Orange County School Board certified a closed session under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act and approved a bundle of personnel actions before announcing the appointment of Jamie Howie as assistant principal at Orange Elementary School.
Dr. Hurnik told the board that the division was "proud to announce the appointment of Mrs. Jamie Howie," noting she graduated from Orange County High School in 2009, earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in art education from Longwood University, and completed a master's in educational leadership at James Madison University. He said Howie has spent 13 years teaching visual arts at Orange County High School and will return to lead at the elementary level.
Mrs. Jamie Howie, invited forward by the board, said she was "thrilled to be joining the Cheetah community as assistant principal at Orange Elementary School, a school that holds a very special place in my heart." She added, "I'm proud to be a product of Orange County Public Schools," and said she looks forward to partnering with teachers, staff and families to support students.
Earlier in the meeting the board moved into closed session citing Code of Virginia § 2.2-3711(A) to discuss personnel matters including resignations, terminations, transfers, employment, salary adjustments and retirements. After returning to open session the board voted to certify that the closed session complied with state law; the clerk reported four yes votes, no no votes, and one member absent. The board then voted to approve the personnel agenda, which the motion described as including resignation, termination, rescinded employment, salary adjustments, new employment and extracurricular and coaching appointments.
No individual mover or second for the motions was named in the recorded transcript, and most voice-vote outcomes were recorded simply as "Aye." The meeting concluded after remarks and photos recognizing the new assistant principal.
The board did not specify additional details for individual personnel actions in the public transcript; names, salaries and effective dates for other personnel items were not specified.
