What's on this agenda

Chatham County's school board swore in its new superintendent, Dr. Kelly Batten, at the 13 July regular session, and passed a resolution honoring outgoing Sheriff Mike Roberson. The board bought MacBook Neo computers and signed technology contracts with KNC Technologies and Applied Network Consulting Group.

It also took the fifth budget amendment of the 2025-26 year and a memorandum of understanding with United Way of Chatham County. The meeting opened in closed session on student records, an attorney-client matter and personnel before returning to open session. What the district publishes for these meetings is the item list; no agenda document, minutes or recording is on file here, so this account stops at what the items name.
