Board upholds superintendent personnel recommendations after executive session
Summary
After an executive session on personnel, the board voted to uphold the superintendent’s recommendations: termination of Ray Baker effective 10/13/2025 and suspension without pay for DJ Lagos effective 09/09/2025.
Following an executive session under West Virginia Code 6-9-4-2A for personnel with anticipated action, the board returned to open session and took two votes. The chair asked for a motion to uphold the superintendent's recommendation to terminate Ray Baker effective 10/13/2025; a motion was made and seconded and the chair called the ayes. The board affirmed the recommendation.
The board then considered a separate motion to uphold the superintendent's recommendation for suspension without pay, effective Sept. 9, 2025, for DJ Lagos. That motion was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote. The meeting record shows members saying "aye" on both actions; no additional details were read into the public record during the open session about the reasons for the personnel decisions.
Board members indicated the votes followed the closed-session discussion and that action would be reflected in personnel records; no further public discussion of the personnel matters occurred during the open session.
