The Overton County School Board met on October 20, 2026. The board approved adding an awning purchase for Hillham to the agenda and then approved it by roll-call vote for $13,500 from the building program fund. The transcript later refers to the awning as being at Mount Elementary, so the location is unclear. The board tabled a proposed sponsorship program contract between Power Ad Company and Livingston Academy while members seek clarification about the contract term and the school’s payment obligations; no award was made. The board also approved agenda items that included quarterly reports and the FY2027 142 federal projects revision No. 3.

Members reported progress on school construction and renovation work, including projects at Rickman, Livingston Academy, Allen’s, and Hillham, but no additional construction contracts or spending approvals were identified. Student travel requests were also considered. The board approved an assistant dance coach position after discussion of compensation, though the transcript does not clearly state the amount.
