Jefferson County Schools Board of Education Meeting October 26, 2026

The October 26, 2026 Jefferson County Schools Board of Education meeting included a report on 2025–2026 attendance, with chronic absenteeism falling to 14.85% from 18.75% the prior year. The board also discussed and considered action to amend the Comprehensive Educational Facilities Plan (CEFP) ahead of a November 10 meeting with the West Virginia Department of Education. The superintendent said the amendment would address mobile classroom units and allow consideration of a permanent ROTC facility. The transcript does not clearly capture the vote or final result on this CEFP motion. No contract award or dollar amount was identified.

The board also discussed Jefferson High School’s press box and bleachers: the district is working with a vendor to assess press box replacement and determine whether the bleachers should be replaced at the same time, with a structural engineer reviewing their condition. The bleachers were described as safe; any project funding would come from local funds rather than the SBA needs-based project process. The board approved the consent agenda and appointed a student services department representative and alternate to the Community Criminal Justice Board. No specific procurement award was reported.
