The Nicholas County Board of Education met in special session on May 11, 2026, in Carlisle and unanimously approved a motion to enter an executive session under KRS 61.810 Section F to meet with the Nicholas County Schools Superintendent Screening Committee. The motion to enter executive session (Motion #9541) was moved by Board member Shawna Hatton and seconded by Board member Sharon Wilson and passed by a 5-0 vote.
Tim Abrams, identified in the minutes as a KSBA consultant, was listed to give opening statements on the agenda; the minutes record the item without a transcript of remarks. The board’s invocation of KRS 61.810 Section F allows private discussion of matters that might lead to the appointment, discipline or dismissal of an individual employee, member or student, while preserving any right to a public hearing if requested.
After the closed session, Board member Brenda Mattox moved and Hatton seconded Motion #9542 to exit the closed session, return to open session, and acknowledge that no action was taken; the motion passed 5-0. The minutes also record that Tyler Duncan left immediately once the executive session began. The board then approved a motion to adjourn (Motion #9543, moved by Hatton, seconded by Mattox), 5-0.
The minutes do not record substantive public comment during the meeting. The board’s acknowledgment that no action was taken at the end of the closed session is the final recorded outcome in the special meeting minutes.
