Dr. Lynn Moody resigned as Superintendent of the Rock Hill School District at the Rock Hill School Board meeting Monday night and accepted a position as Superintendent of the Rowan - Salisbury School System.

Rock Hill School Board member Walter Brown read the following announcement before the board voted to release Dr. Moody from her contract:

We’d like to thank Dr. Moody for her 10+ years of service to our district. We are much better for her leadership. The foundation she helped build will allow us to continue in her departure.  We know she will do the same for the Rowan-Salisbury School District. We wish Lynn, Wayne, Brad, and Hunter the very best.

We have a very capable staff in place. Our work will continue as we move to build upon Rock Hill’s history of outstanding Superintendents.

The board’s first task will be to hire an interim Superintendent to fill the Superintendent’s role while we go about selecting a leader who will build upon the foundation already established.  We are a very good district, well positioned to maintain a leadership role.

The board will be meeting over the next 10 days to work on an action plan for filling our leadership position.

Dr. Moody's contract with the Rock Hill School District was to June 30, 2018.

My favorite discussion was…….. Because…..
Jacob and Science Bowl Team. Great  budget report. Capital Outlay program. Rock Hill Schools 2012-2013 update. Science Bowl winners - educational competition is fun and ensures colaboration. Dr. Belton, Mrs. Hahn, and Mrs. Owens did a good job of giving the "big picture" of math common core. They are extremely knowledgable.


My suggestions for future board meetings are...
Put work sessions back into a rotating schedule between schools. Status of Crisis Plan Items. "Elective positions in middle schools - we now have choice schools" Discussion needed on differing electives at middle schools whether they should  be the same and whether those schools offering different electives should be choice or magnet schools.

		Comments:Feedback and squeaks and echos from  podium microphone were distracting (Last meeting as well). Who controls this? Women's voices did not cause the problem.
	My favorite discussion was…….. Because…..
	Always the students and the "path finders". Budget because it is balanced with no tax increase. Master Plan - charrette idea is great for everything. A Good Meeting. Oakdale staff did great!
	My suggestions for future board meetings are...
	Does purchase of Ebenezer Elementary property need to be voted on at a public business  meeting? Board needs to be involved with design of a new district office building - need a discussion of board vision for design priorities. Please number the slides to make it easier to find indentity fo questions. We need a policy required charrettes to be used for all major changes/decisions.
