Cherokee County board adopts electronic-participation policy
Summary
The Cherokee County School Board unanimously approved policy D EDM on July 27, allowing electronic participation in meetings; Trustee Sarette was noted as planning to participate electronically during an upcoming executive session.
The Cherokee County School Board unanimously approved a policy governing public participation and the use of electronic participation at its July 27, 2026, meeting.
A board member moved to approve "the use of electronic participation, policy D, EDM," and the motion was seconded and adopted without opposition. The chair noted that Trustee Sarette plans to participate electronically when the board next goes into executive session.
Board members framed the vote as a housekeeping measure to clarify how trustees and members of the public may take part remotely. "I'll make the motion to approve the use of electronic participation, policy D, EDM," said Mr. Kennedy, the member who moved the measure. The motion was seconded on the floor and the board declared the vote unanimous.
The policy text and implementation steps were not read aloud in full in the public transcript; the board did not enumerate specific conditions or technical requirements for remote participation during the recorded discussion.
The board proceeded with the rest of its agenda after adopting the policy.
