Committee approves agenda and minutes, notes donation and schedules meetings

At the April 29 agenda-setting meeting, the Beaufort County Board of Education Executive Committee unanimously approved the meeting agenda and later approved the March 25, 2024 meeting minutes.

The chair told the committee that Dr. R. and board member Chloe Gordon had joined the meeting. The chair asked for approval of the agenda; members said "aye," and the chair said "So, agenda is approved unanimously." The committee then moved to approve minutes from March 25; the transcript records that "Colonel Gower made the motion and Angel Middleton, second the motion," and the minutes were approved unanimously.

The superintendent and chair noted that the public session on May 7 will include a student performance by Beaufort Middle School and several celebration items. The chair also said the board will need to approve a "very generous donation from the Friends of Shanklin" at the May meeting and noted a check presentation event at the school in early May; committee members asked whether the donation was the same $15,000 check previously associated with Joseph Saint and were told it is a different check.

Finally, members set the next agenda-setting meeting for Monday, May 13 at 5 p.m. via Zoom to prepare the May 21 business meeting and adjourned by unanimous consent.
