The Hampshire County Board of Education met on August 17, 2026. The board approved routine finance consent items, including bills, budget revisions, fund transfers, and the treasurer’s report; no dollar amounts were stated. It also approved continuing the countywide backpack meal program and authorized posting for a grant-funded attendance support/social worker position, described as fully funded with no cost to the county. No competitive bids, vendor selections, or capital purchases were identified. A parent urged the board to provide more consistent licensed-nurse coverage across schools, but no staffing or spending action was taken in response.
