North Knox School Corp. approves two-year contract for Doug Boyd as varsity boys basketball coach

The North Knox School Corp. board approved hiring Doug Boyd as the varsity boys basketball coach on a two-year contract.

David, a board member, said he had interviewed the candidate and recommended hiring him, stating, "I just would recommend at this point in time that the school corporation hire him on a two-year contract." The board chair then asked for a motion to employ Doug Boyd; a motion and second were made and the chair said the motion carried. The transcript does not record a roll-call or numerical vote tally.

The chair reported that one member, Max, was absent. David (who reported contact with the coach) said Boyd was unable to attend the meeting because he was "on the road" and handling family matters but had called and conveyed regret. According to the board comments, Boyd "is super excited to meet the boys and get started" and hoped to meet the team the following day or the first week after the hire.

Board members confirmed the next meeting date as Monday, June 15, at 5:00 and proceeded to the next agenda item. The hiring motion was recorded as carried in the meeting transcript; the motion maker, seconder and exact vote tally are not specified in the transcript.
