Elizabeth City-Pasquotank board unanimously approves policies, contracts and capital purchases, then moves to closed session
Summary
On July 22, 2024 the Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Board of Education unanimously approved the meeting agenda, consent items, a package of second‑reading policies (PC‑01 through PC‑18) and a set of new‑business contracts and capital purchases; the board then adjourned the open session to a closed session citing state statutes.
The Elizabeth City‑Pasquotank Board of Education met July 22 and, by unanimous show of hands, approved the meeting agenda, the consent agenda and a package of second‑reading policies before approving several new‑business contracts and capital purchases.
The board opened the meeting with Chair Angela Cobb calling the session to order and completing a roll call; the board later approved the consent agenda, which included the June 27 minutes, a rental report and fundraiser items. Chair Cobb then moved the meeting through unfinished business where the board approved policies PC‑01 through PC‑18 on second reading.
Superintendent Dr. Parker told the board the new‑business items included contracts for principal mentorship and communications support, a canopy quote for Weeksville Elementary included on the 2024–25 capital list, a freezer purchase for the nutrition warehouse and sound‑system quotes for three high‑school gyms. After a question about funding, Dr. Parker said, “we would not be using ESSER money to fund those two contracts, and so they’ll be funded from our local funds.”
The board approved the new‑business items as a single, blanket motion. No recorded roll‑call vote numbers were provided beyond the chair’s note that votes were unanimous by show of hands.
The board then moved into a closed session. A motion cited North Carolina law allowing closed sessions for personnel matters and attorney consultation; the board approved the motion and adjourned the open meeting.
