Board moves into executive session to continue superintendent search

At a special called board meeting, the Chair called the session to order and the board approved the consent agenda by voice vote before moving into executive session to continue the superintendent search.

The meeting opened with the Chair calling the meeting to order and introducing meeting staff, including facilitator Miss Alama Proer and the board attorney, Mr. Bernie Williams. Dr. Dixs led a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance.

Madam Secretary confirmed a quorum and that the meeting had been properly noticed. A committee member moved to approve the consent agenda and another member seconded; the Chair then called for voice approval and the consent agenda was adopted.

The Chair then asked for a motion to enter executive session “pursuant to section 30-4-70 of the South Carolina Code of Laws of 1976 for the purpose of continuing the process for our superintendent search.” A committee member moved to enter executive session and another seconded; the board voted in favor and entered executive session.

After a period in executive session, the board returned to open session. The Chair stated that “no votes were taken and no decisions were made in our executive session.” The meeting concluded after the Chair moved to adjourn, a second was offered, and the Chair declared the meeting adjourned.

The board did not record roll-call tallies in the public transcript; motions and approvals were completed by voice votes as recorded in the public proceedings. No further details about the superintendent search or any personnel actions were disclosed in the public session.
