The Ohio County Board of Education regular meeting was held October 26, 2026. Procurement-related discussion focused on consent-agenda bills and school facility work. Board members asked about payments to collaborative pre-K sites (check 229284), with amounts varying by enrollment and examples of approximately $48,000 and $21,000; elevator-related payments to Otis (check 229317) and Vertical Transport Consulting for lift testing; and the final billing for mold remediation completed at the start of the school year. They also discussed planned work at a high school, including installing a shade structure that requires cutting existing concrete and adding poles near the discus area for safety. The board approved the consent agenda, which included paid bills; no new contract award or RFP was identified.

The board received a financial update noting that tax revenue was on pace at the end of September, with revenue about $1.8 million above the same point in the prior year, against a budget that was $3 million higher than the previous year’s budget. Members also reviewed attendance-related policies covering resident and non-resident enrollment, homeless students, military-connected students, and students in foster care; these were described as aligned with state requirements and available for public comment. No procurement policy change was identified.
