Board holds executive session on personnel, then hires Paul Burgas III
Summary
After a member asked to pull one name from a personnel consent list, the Wetzel County Board amended the superintendent's recommendations, met in executive session to discuss the individual and, on return, voted unanimously to hire Paul Burgas III.
The Wetzel County Board of Education amended the superintendent’s personnel recommendations after a board member asked that one candidate be removed from the consent list, then moved into an executive session to discuss that individual and ultimately approved the hire.
Chair (speaker 4) moved to accept the superintendent’s personnel recommendations with Paul Burgas removed from the bulk motion; the board amended the main motion and approved the amended personnel list unanimously. A board member then moved that the board go into executive session “to discuss personnel matters,” a motion the board seconded and carried; the executive session began at 05:46 PM and the board reported emerging at 06:04 PM. On return, the board moved and seconded approval to hire Paul Burgas III; the motion passed unanimously.
The discussion over the procedure for pulling a name from a motion included clarifying parliamentary points about whether a pull request must precede a motion or can be handled by amendment. No additional details about the personnel matter were disclosed in open session. The board’s action in open session recorded the unanimous votes but did not provide written conditions or contract terms in the meeting packet.
