North Knox School Corp hires Doug Boyd as varsity boys basketball coach

The North Knox School Corp board approved the employment of Doug Boyd as the varsity boys basketball coach on a two-year contract after a motion and second carried at the meeting.

A committee member who interviewed Boyd recommended his hiring, saying, "I just would recommend at this point in time that the school corporation hire him on a two-year contract." The Chair then sought a formal motion: "Do I have a motion to employ Doug Boyd as a varsity basketball coach, boys basketball coach for a two-year period?" A motion and a second were made and the Chair recorded the outcome by stating, "All those in favor?" followed by "All those opposed? Motion carries." Individual roll-call votes were not specified in the record.

Board members noted that Boyd was unable to attend the meeting; a speaker said Boyd was "on the road" and dealing with family matters but had expressed regret at not being present and eagerness to meet the players. The board recorded that Boyd plans to meet the team as soon as possible, possibly the next day or at the start of the next week.

The appointment is effective immediately as entered in the meeting record. The board did not provide contractual salary or additional hiring details during the discussion; those specifics were not specified in the transcript.
