Ohio County Board of Education Regular Meeting, September 14, 2026

The Ohio County Board of Education’s regular meeting on September 14, 2026, included approval of the consent agenda, including paid bills, after board members questioned several expenses. Belmont Petroleum was listed for approximately $43,598 in fuel, including about $35,322 for diesel and $7,454.35 for gasoline; the transcript’s figures are partly garbled. The superintendent said fuel costs had been anticipated in budgeting and the district was buying at the best price available. Other bills discussed included Discovery Education materials, a high-school credit-recovery program, reading-curriculum licenses, postage, and a special-education recreation area. A CTE conference expense was covered by a grant. The motion to approve the consent agenda passed; no RFPs or new contract awards were identified.

The board also discussed its ongoing transition to NEOLA board policies, with a plan to review and bring forward a small number of policies at each meeting. The district expects the process to take six months to a year, with public access to policies maintained online. Other agenda items included student and educator recognition, personnel recommendations, and school-safety activities. The meeting also included discussion of booster-club membership, but no related board spending action was identified.
