Board Work Session - October 19, 2026

Spartanburg School District One Board Work Session — October 19, 2026. The board reviewed five strategic performance standards for the superintendent and a board self-evaluation, with collective discussions planned for the November 9 meeting. It also discussed policies scheduled for a second reading on November 9, including paid parental leave legislative updates and policies covering the school calendar, curriculum, instruction, health education, homeschooling, and early-childhood programs. Board members raised possible revisions, including clarifying coordination of the school calendar with other Spartanburg County districts and standardizing advance parent notification and access to opt-out forms for health instruction. The board also reviewed a policy on access to life-saving medication, including Narcan and seizure medication, and staff training for designated responders.

No procurement activity, contract awards, vendor selections, or spending decisions were identified. Board members were invited to submit policy questions or proposed additions by October 26; the only motion recorded was to adjourn, which passed by voice vote.
