Jefferson Co. Bd. of Education Meeting

The Jefferson County Board of Education meeting on October 27, 2026, included a presentation on 2025–2026 attendance results and several board actions. The board approved the minutes and consent agenda. Attendance officials reported chronic absenteeism of 14.85%, down 21% from the prior year, and described continued efforts to reduce it; no procurement activity was identified in that presentation.

The board approved amending the Comprehensive Educational Facilities Plan (CEFP) to include a JROTC wing at Jefferson High School, so the amendment can be presented at a West Virginia Department of Education meeting on November 10. The discussion also covered the press box and bleachers at Jefferson High School: staff are working with a vendor and a structural engineer to assess replacement options, including whether to replace both at the same time. The bleachers were described as safe, and any press box work would be funded from the local share rather than through a needs-based School Building Authority project. No contract award, vendor name, or dollar amount was provided.
