HAMLET - A called meeting was held at the Richmond County Board of Education at 118 Vance Street in Hamlet on Tuesday, July 17, at 5:00 p.m. A quorum of school board members was present for the meeting, which was called to order by Board Chairman Wiley Mabe. A moment of silence was observed, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. The agenda was adopted as presented.
Business items followed as some changes were requested for the 2018-2019 school calendar by Dennis Quick, executive director of Auxiliary Services. The professional development day scheduled for January 29, 2019, needs to be moved to January 30, 2019, to better coincide with the Richmond Community College Calendar. A similar request was made for changing a professional development day from February 19, 2019, to February 20, 2019, for the same reason. This request was approved with no opposition.
