At Mercer County Schools’ regular Board of Education meeting on October 26, 2026, the board approved three waivers by motion; the transcript does not identify their nature. During administrative updates, a member said documentation would be provided to verify that a company involved in an earlier matter is based in the United States. The transcript does not establish whether this related to the waivers or another procurement decision.

The board discussed scheduling a work session and reviewing board and superintendent goals at the first November meeting. A member also raised a letter from Pearson and Jacobson offering to assist with next year’s superintendent search and said the matter would be placed on a future agenda. No vendor selection, contract award, or spending approval for the search firm is recorded.
