The Pitt County Schools Board of Education approved its consent agenda at the March 2 meeting and announced several legal settlements while also forwarding a nomination to a statewide school boards committee.
Board members voted to approve routine items including minutes from February meetings, the purchase of a modular unit for Elmhurst Elementary, a Google Education Plus workspace purchase, and the personnel report for March 2, 2026. The motion to approve the agenda was moved by Board member Worth and seconded by Board member James; the board approved the consent items by raised-hand vote.
On new business the board nominated Vice Chair Nobles-Maltby to serve as an at-large member of the North Carolina School Boards Association legislative committee. The nomination was moved by Board member Amanda, seconded by Board member Amy, and carried by the board.
The board also announced three settlement items. Chair Weaver said the district reached a pre‑litigation settlement with a professional services provider that includes non‑monetary terms and a payment to the provider of $525,710.36. A second pre‑litigation settlement with another professional services provider will result in payment to the board of $125,000. A separate settlement in JH v. Pitt County Board of Education (25 EDC 04685) includes confidential non‑monetary terms and payment of attorney’s fees totaling $15,000. Chair Weaver framed these as announcements; the transcript does not record motions or votes tied to the settlements during the meeting.
The board adjourned following closing remarks from Superintendent Dr. Lassiter and brief remarks from members about staffing, student supports and upcoming community listening sessions.
