School board approves amended agenda removing Pledge of Allegiance
Summary
The Cherokee County School Board voted unanimously to remove item 2 (the Pledge of Allegiance) from tonight’s agenda after a motion from Trustee Miss Sheppard; the board then continued with a public hearing on the 2026–27 general fund budget.
The Cherokee County School Board of Trustees voted unanimously to adopt an amended agenda that omits item 2, the Pledge of Allegiance. Trustee Miss Sheppard moved to approve the agenda with that exception, and Miss DeCache seconded the motion.
"Madam chair, I would like to make a motion that we approve the agenda with the exception of, item number 2, which is the pledge of allegiance," Miss Sheppard said when presenting the motion. The chair called the vote and stated, "That is unanimous." The board then proceeded to open a public hearing on the district’s 2026–27 general fund budget.
The amendment was presented as a consistency measure so the regular board meeting schedule would follow the same pattern. No formal objections were recorded in the transcript, and the chair confirmed the amended agenda before the hearing began.
