This afternoon, Accomack County school administration posted online its personnel list after last night's meeting, as is customary. Remarkably, this is not the amended personnel list the school board approved — this is the unamended personnel list with which the school board was presented before yesterday's meeting. It incorrectly shows the Chincoteague Combined School athletic director's position was filled. The school board did not approve hiring a Chincoteague athletic director. Now everyone knows with certainty who would have received the job. For a school administration that states it takes personnel confidentiality seriously, this is an egregious error. Professional Human Resources departments would never publicly reveal the names of applicants who were not selected for a position.

The Accomack County School Board voted Aug. 25 to hire full-time athletic directors for Arcadia and Nandua high schools. But the school board will re-advertise for the full-time Chincoteague High School athletic director position — nobody was hired tonight for the position. In addition, school board member Jesse Speidel, who represents Chincoteague, resigned from the school board effective Aug. 26. He said after the meeting that his resignation was, in part, because he said he was friends with Jimmy Bloxom, the part-time Chincoteague athletic director. "I don't like the way they treated him," he said of the school board and Bloxom. Bloxom had not been interviewed for the full-time position. Bloxom said he will apply again for the position.

The Accomack County School Board on Tuesday, Aug. 18, approved a personnel list that did not include full-time athletic directors at Nandua, Arcadia, or Chincoteague high schools. That means Jimmy Bloxom has not been replaced as Chincoteague athletic director, and a full-time athletic director has not been hired for the school — or any Accomack school. In all, 17 people either spoke or submitted letters supporting Bloxom. It is unclear how the school system will proceed with the AD positions. “We will be working on that tomorrow,” Superintendent Gennifer Miller said after the four-hour, 10-minute meeting.
