Warren County School Board Meeting - September 2026

The Warren County School Board meeting on September 16, 2026, included updates on school construction and maintenance spending. At West’s gym project, demolition was scheduled to begin Friday and footers were being dug; the board was told the project had moved forward after resolving a gas-line issue. High school bleacher demolition was scheduled for September 29, with bleachers and seats expected around October 5 and installation estimated to take about three weeks. The board discussed whether future work should address gym access, concessions, and locker rooms, noting that additional work would require separate funding and architectural design.

The board approved a $61,000 budget amendment transferring funds from maintenance equipment to contracted maintenance-of-plant services, to cover school mowing contracts; the motion carried. Members clarified that the contracted mowing does not include playground mulching, which remains a maintenance staff responsibility. Other spending-related actions included approval of a $380 adjustment to the certified salary schedule’s master’s-level, 11-year step, bringing it to $61,380. The board also approved a first reading of a revenue-policy revision addressing rounding cash payments to the nearest five cents. No vendor names or contract numbers were provided.
