Board votes unanimously to remove pledge of allegiance from this meeting's agenda
Summary
At a public hearing on the 2026–27 general fund budget, the Cherokee County School Board voted unanimously to remove item No. 2 (the Pledge of Allegiance) from the agenda after a motion from Miss Sheppard.
Miss Sheppard moved that the board approve the agenda "with the exception of, item number 2, which is the pledge of allegiance," saying the pledge is typically recited during the regular board meeting and should be kept consistent. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously.
The board took the procedural vote at the start of the public hearing on the general fund budget for 2026–27. The chair then proceeded to open the hearing and invited members of staff, faculty, taxpayers and visitors to ask questions before the hearing's scheduled end at 6:00 p.m.
