Board approves out-of-state trip, two policy second readings and hire after executive session
Summary
The board approved an out-of-state trip funded by a 21st Century grant, passed second readings of policies JICJ and KFE, accepted the financial report, completed the superintendent evaluation and approved a recommended hire after executive session.
At its meeting the Bamberg County School District Board approved several routine actions by voice vote. The board approved an out-of-state overnight trip for Denmark after-school coordinator Ms. Zelda Zoglas to attend the Rosen Centre's after-school leadership conference in Orlando, Florida; Speaker 3 said the trip "is paid for, in the 21st century grant." Speaker 4 moved to approve the request and the motion carried after a second.
The board also completed second readings and approved two district policies: JICJ (prohibiting personal electronic devices during the school day) and KFE (facility-use request form edits, including listing security fees and insurance/certificate requirements). Both were presented as second readings (no additional substantive debate) and each passed by voice vote.
The monthly financial report and current-year audit status were accepted after Speaker 4 reported that the district's audit began the day of the meeting and paperwork will be submitted by Dec. 1. The board voted to accept the financial report.
The board moved into executive session for employment/personnel and student-release discussions and later returned to open session. Following executive session the board approved the recommended hire for the listed candidate "employee 1 a." The meeting adjourned after the hire motion carried by voice vote.
