Board approves personnel, school safety plans after executive session and adopts multiple policies
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda (personnel hires and resignations), entered an executive session to review school safety plans, approved those plans on returning to public session, and moved multiple policies through readings and adoptions including repeal of policy 1003 and adoption of several third‑reading policies.
The Braxton County Board of Education approved its consent agenda, which included minutes, the treasurer’s report, payment of bills and a lengthy personnel section that listed resignations, multiple recommended hires across grade levels and substitute rosters. A board member moved to accept the updated personnel recommendations; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
Under new business, the board voted to enter an executive session to discuss annual school safety plans and reunification site memoranda of understanding, citing West Virginia code (as read in the meeting: 6‑9A / 6‑9A‑4‑B‑7) because the plans contain sensitive operational details. The board returned to open session, reported no decisions were made inside the executive session, and then moved and approved the school safety plans and the reunification site MOUs by voice vote.
The board also approved several out‑of‑county attendance requests (examples included students from Lewis, Calhoun and Webster counties), approved a memorandum of understanding for shared technology services with the Webster County Board of Education, and voted to repeal Policy 1003 (out‑of‑district/out‑of‑county registration) because it had been superseded and was not compliant with current law.
In policy business, the board advanced Policy 1020 (board policy process) and Policy 4118 (grading policy) to second reading, combined certain second readings for Policies 1250 and 2320 and moved them to third reading where appropriate, and adopted several policies on third and final reading (agenda items K–O included policies cited in the meeting). Each motion to adopt or advance policy was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
Board President Post declared the meeting adjourned at 8:24 p.m.
