Board elects Angela Cobb as chair and Pam Perez as vice chair; vote declared unanimous
Summary
At the Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Board of Education organizational meeting, Angela Cobb was nominated and announced as chair and Pam Perez was elected vice chair by unanimous show-of-hands votes; the meeting also included an ethics statement citing North Carolina statute and concluded with adjournment.
The Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Board of Education held its organizational meeting on Dec. 7, 2022, where the board nominated and elected its officers and completed introductory business. Parker, serving as the presiding officer, opened nominations and oversaw roll call and an ethics statement.
Angela Cobb was nominated from the floor for the position of chair and accepted the nomination. After a motion to close nominations and a motion to elect, the presiding officer announced that Miss Cobb had been elected chair. The clerk moved to elect the chair and, in that motion, referred to 'Angela Collins'; the record and the presiding officer, however, identify the nominee and the announced winner as Angela Cobb.
The board then opened nominations for vice chair. Pam Perez accepted a nomination for vice chair and, after a motion to elect and a second, was chosen by a unanimous show of hands.
Before the officer elections, Miss Kyle read an ethics awareness statement, citing 'chapter 138a of North Carolina general statutes,' asked whether any member knew of a conflict of interest and stated, 'Let the record reflect that no conflicts exist.' The presiding officer invited attendees to remain for refreshments following the organizational business.
A motion to adjourn was made and seconded; the board voted by unanimous show of hands to adjourn, and the meeting was declared closed. The transcript contains an internal inconsistency in the date (the presiding officer states Dec. 7, 2022, while the ethics statement audio references Dec. 2, 2024) and a name discrepancy in the chair motion (the clerk said 'Angela Collins' while the nominee and announced winner are recorded as Angela Cobb). Exact vote counts were not specified in the record; outcomes were announced as unanimous by show of hands.
