Oconee County Board of Education Regular Session • October 19, 2026

The Oconee County Board of Education’s regular session on October 19, 2026 included financial, facilities, and instructional updates. The district reported $3.3 million in September payments to 470 vendors and described its cash position and budget as sound, with $4.2 million in anticipated annual expenses already encumbered. Operations recommended purchasing double-stack combi ovens for High Shoals Elementary from Singer H&R for $33,200 using general funds. The transcript does not show the board’s vote on that recommendation. Facilities staff reported ongoing planning for a full-size practice field at Oconee County High School and other building maintenance work.

The board received an update on the Civic Center, transferred to district ownership effective September 1 through an exchange for approximately 42.7 acres of undeveloped district property; both boards had approved the agreement in July. The district has integrated technology and safety systems at the facility and manages rentals through Facilitron. The board also took up the FY27 Unified Literacy Plan, with a motion to approve recorded but no final vote shown in the provided transcript. Proposed revisions to the student electronic-device policy were presented for future consideration. No other completed procurement awards or bid approvals were clearly recorded.
