Mount Airy board moves to extend superintendent’s contract; minutes show motion but not a clear roll-call for the extension
Summary
The Mount Airy City Board of Education moved to extend the superintendent’s contract during its June 24, 2025 meeting after a closed session on personnel. The motion was seconded; the meeting minutes do not contain a clearly separated roll‑call tally for that specific motion in the transcript provided.
The Mount Airy City Board of Education convened June 24, 2025, and after conducting routine roll call and approving its agenda, held a closed session to consider personnel matters and returned to open session at 8:44 p.m.
During the closed-session follow-up, Board Member Kyle Leonard moved and Ben Cooke seconded a motion to approve the board’s Personnel Report as presented; the minutes show roll-call marks consistent with approval by the seated members (Tim Matthews, Ben Cooke, Jayme Brant, Thomas Horton, Kyle Leonard and Randy Moore) while Board Member Mark Welch was recorded as absent.
The minutes then record that Ben Cooke moved and Kyle Leonard seconded that a Superintendent Contract Extension be approved as presented. The transcript text supplied does not provide a distinct, complete roll-call tally for that individual motion; the minutes show roll-call marks nearby in the paragraph but do not unambiguously attribute them to the contract-extension motion. The minutes therefore record the motion and second but do not clearly document the recorded vote for the contract extension in the excerpt provided.
The meeting agenda for June 24 listed several consent and monitoring items including budget amendments, the monthly budget report, charter school disbursements, the District AIG Plan (2025–2028), multiple bid renewals (US Foods, Hershey Ice Cream, Maola Milk, Correction Enterprises), federal program assurances, the continuing budget resolution and the 2024–25 discipline report; the minutes do not show substantive debate about those items in the supplied transcript.
Board Member Randy Moore requested an amendment to the May 20, 2025 meeting minutes, proposing new text for Section IX, Chairman’s Report. The minutes record the requested text but do not include a clearly separated roll-call that expressly records approval or rejection of that specific amendment in the excerpt provided.
Ben Cooke moved and Jayme Brant seconded that the board go into closed session, citing confidentiality under Chapter 132 of the General Statutes and the need to consider personnel matters. The board entered closed session at 7:00 p.m. and returned to open session at 8:44 p.m. The board later adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
The minutes list the board members present and their roll-call marks at several points; where the supplied transcript does not show a clear tally for a particular motion, this article notes that the minutes do not unambiguously record the vote in the supplied excerpt. The board scheduled a July 11–12, 2025 board retreat and listed Superintendent’s Report items including teaching and learning and operations in its agenda.
No direct quotations are recorded in the supplied transcript excerpt. The minutes identify motions, seconders and roll-call marks but do not name the superintendent whose contract was discussed in the provided text.
