Summary

The board accepted three resignations, agreed to pull the name of Darren Cook for separate consideration, entered executive session to discuss a Magnolia High School alternative education position, and then approved the superintendent's hiring recommendations in a recorded roll call.

The Wetzel County Board of Education moved through personnel matters early in the meeting, accepting three resignations and setting one name — Darren Cook — aside for separate consideration.

A board member asked that Darren Cook’s name be pulled from the superintendent’s recommendations for separate discussion; the board voted to do so. The board then approved the other resignations by motion. Members next moved into executive session under West Virginia Code to discuss the hiring for an alternative education teacher at Magnolia High School and allowed an identified staff member to attend the executive session.

On returning from executive session, the board conducted a roll-call vote to accept the superintendent’s hiring recommendations. The vote was recorded and the motion passed by a recorded margin noted in the minutes (the board summarized the roll-call results as a majority vote in favor). The chair recorded that the board had moved out of executive session at 11:47 a.m.
