Lamar County Schools November 2026 Board Meeting

At its regularly scheduled November 10, 2026 meeting, the Lamar County School Board reviewed district accountability results and retained its A rating. The board approved the 2027–28 academic calendar, personnel items, and several policy updates, including clarifications on how public-records requests may be submitted. It also approved property-related items described in the transcript as recreational leases, an easement with the City of Hattiesburg, and an amended Broadway easement involving a 16th Section road; the details of these actions are partly garbled in the transcript.

The superintendent provided updates on ongoing construction at district schools, including work at Sumrall and Purvis and foundation and concrete work planned at Oak Grove. These were progress reports rather than identified contract awards or new spending approvals; the transcript gives no contract numbers, vendors, or dollar amounts. No specific procurement award or budget allocation was clearly identified.
