Stakeholders are already anticipating the conclusion of the upcoming code of ethics violation hearing for Cherokee County School Board member Kelly Marlow, which will take place Wednesday at 6 p.m.
The hearing was called to determine if Marlow violated the school board’s code of ethics by sending a complaint letter in June to AdvancEd and Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the agency in charge of school accreditation, claiming that the district was in violation of their standards and/or policies.
School Board Chair Janet Read said Friday she’s ready for the hearing procedures to be finished.
“I’m happy to just get this next step in the process completed so that we can move on and get back to the main focus of teaching and learning,” Read said.
“I was pleased to see the parameters that the hearing officer set forward, because, basically, this is just a hearing held in public. I was pleased that the number of people were limited in the audience, but also very pleased that as a school district we were able to provide an alternate venue for people to watch it in real-time.”
The hearing in the School Board Auditorium is limited to 100 members of the public who must follow a strict code of conduct to ensure fairness, but a live broadcast will also take place at the Cherokee High School auditorium and admission is only limited to the auditorium capacity of 1,050 people.
Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and the hearing will begin at 6 p.m. for both the hearing at the historic Canton High School Board Auditorium and the live broadcast at the Cherokee High School auditorium.
