North Knox School Corp hires 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 after a board member who interviewed him recommended the hire.

A committee member who interviewed Boyd said, "I just would recommend at this point in time that the school corporation hire him on a two-year contract" and described the conversation with the candidate as positive. The chair then asked for a motion to employ "Doug Boyd as a varsity basketball coach, boys basketball coach for a two-year period." A motion was made and seconded; members responded in the affirmative and the chair declared the motion carried. The transcript records the motion carrying by voice vote but does not provide a roll-call or numerical tally.

Board members noted that the candidate was unable to attend the meeting. The record states Boyd was traveling and dealing with family matters, and the committee member relayed that Boyd "is super excited to meet the boys and get started" and hoped to meet the team either the next day or early the following week. The board announced its next meeting for Monday, June 15, at 5:00 p.m.

No formal conditions, amendments, or funding details for the hire were specified in the transcript. The transcript does not identify who made the motion or who seconded it by name, and it does not record individual board members' votes. The board moved on to the next agenda item after the appointment.
