At the May 12 meeting the Forsyth County Schools board approved several procedural and policy actions by unanimous voice votes.
The board first moved into executive session for personnel matters and exited by unanimous vote. Following that session the board voted unanimously to approve grouped personnel recommendations (a 1–28, b 1–5, c 1–39). The consent agenda was then presented and approved by unanimous voice vote.
In action items, Derek Hershey presented proposed revisions to policy GAK-1 (criminal background checks) incorporating legal counsel recommendations. A board member moved approval, a second was made, and the board approved the updated policy by unanimous vote.
All votes reported in the transcript were recorded as unanimous; no roll-call tallies or names for individual yes/no votes were given.
