Stokes County Schools Board of Education Meeting Regular Session 10/19/2026

The Stokes County Schools Board of Education regular session on October 19, 2026, approved an amended agenda and the consent agenda, including personnel and coaching approvals and prior meeting minutes. The board reviewed school improvement plans; one school reported using Title I funds this year to add an instructional assistant. No bids, contract awards, or new vendor selections were presented or approved. The board also discussed a state-mandated attendance-code change and policy updates, most of which were described as required to align with legislative mandates; the policy items were slated for possible placement on a future consent agenda.

The finance update reported that the county commissioners’ final capital outlay budget made no changes to the projects presented. For current expense, county appropriations were approved at $16,528,992, which was $405,987 below the district’s request of $16,934,979; the budget uses $622,227 in fund balance to balance. The district also expects to cover about $135,000 in local costs for state employee bonuses, to be paid at the end of October. No procurement-specific spending vote or contract action was identified.
