RCS BOE Meeting - August 18, 2026

At the August 18, 2026 Randolph County Schools Board of Education meeting, the board approved the consent calendar 5–0. It included a renewal of Apptegy for the district and school websites and automated phone/text communications; officials said it is ADA-compliant and paid from technology funds, but no contract amount was stated. The consent calendar also included additional courses at Tygarts Valley High School, which the superintendent said could be offered without additional cost or personnel. Board members requested clarification about the Foster Grandparent Program agreement because its listed participating schools appeared inconsistent; the transcript does not establish whether that item was deferred or otherwise resolved. An auction was mentioned during the agreements discussion, followed by an executive session concerning purchase, sale, or lease matters, but no related procurement decision or spending action is reported.

The board also heard feedback on the operation of electric school buses, recognized student and athletic achievements, and received a public comment requesting a change to a Beverly-area bus stop. Staff presented assessment data and plans for school audits and ongoing data analysis. No dollar amounts, contract numbers, or new vendor awards were identified beyond the Apptegy renewal.
