Board approves routine business, committee rosters and lease for former Money Creek School
Summary
The Williamsburg County School District Board approved the consent agenda, January 29 minutes, committee assignments and a lease renewal for the former Money Creek School in Hemingway; the board also voted to enter an executive session under SC Code Section 30‑4‑70.
Madam Chair opened the Williamsburg County School District Board meeting and the board quickly approved routine business including the consent agenda and the January 29, 2026 meeting minutes. The Secretary confirmed a quorum before votes were taken.
In a business motion, the board accepted committee rosters for the policy and budget committees. Under the policy committee, Dr. Malva Haney was named chair with members Gary McKenzie and Tawana Austin. The budget committee will continue under Dr. Janice Graham with members Dr. Kenneth Burges, Reverend Alfred Darby and Mr. Max Burges.
Williamsburg County Supervisor Mr. Calvin Washington requested renewal of a lease on the old Money Creek School in the Money Creek community in Hemingway, saying the district had discovered the lease had expired while preparing building work and that ‘‘we're asking y'all to renew this.’’ The board moved, seconded and approved the lease renewal.
Before adjourning to executive session, the chair moved that the board enter a closed executive session pursuant to South Carolina Code Section 30‑4‑70. The motion was seconded and carried; the chair stated no formal action or voting would occur during that session.
