The Kershaw County School Board of Trustees on Monday met in executive session to discuss resignations and retirements of certified and classified personnel, employment and assignment changes, and the superintendent’s preliminary evaluation. After returning to open session, the board voted to accept the administration’s recommendations on employment matters.
The board convened the closed session following a motion that listed retirements, resignations, employment and assignment changes, and the superintendent evaluation as the topics for discussion. When the board reconvened, Chair asked for a motion to accept the administration’s recommendation on employment matters; Dr. King moved the motion and Mr. Roberts seconded. The motion carried with all members saying “aye” as recorded in the meeting transcript.
Why it matters: Personnel actions affect staffing at schools and district operations. Acceptance of administration recommendations typically finalizes hires, reassignments, or separations that were discussed in closed session.
Details: The board did not read individual personnel names or specific employment actions into the open record during the portion of the transcript provided; the transcript records only that the board accepted the administration’s recommendations. The executive session topics included retirement and resignation of certified and classified personnel, employment of certified and classified personnel, assignment changes and transfers, and the superintendent’s preliminary evaluation.
Formal actions
- Motion to enter executive session to discuss retirement/resignation, employment and assignment changes, and superintendent evaluation: moved and seconded; outcome: approved (unanimous "aye").
- Motion to accept the administration’s recommendations concerning employment matters (post executive session): moved by Dr. King, seconded by Mr. Roberts; outcome: approved (unanimous "aye").
Ending: The board closed the meeting with a prayer and adjournment. Specific personnel decisions were recorded as accepted; details are part of the board’s personnel records and were not listed in the public transcript excerpt.
