RCS BOE Meeting - Work Session - November 10, 2026

The Randolph County Schools Board of Education work session on November 10, 2026, focused on the district’s fiscal outlook with a West Virginia Department of Education finance official. The official reported a year-over-year enrollment decline of 243.57 FTE and estimated that it could reduce state aid by about $1.5 million and overall funding—including related retirement and PEIA effects—by just over $2 million. Discussion covered the implications for staffing, the district’s unrestricted fund balance and watch-list status, and the possibility of further personnel reductions or school closures if enrollment and funding continue to fall. No spending or procurement motions, contract awards, or vendor selections were identified.

Board members also discussed how enrollment, building utilization, fund balances, and school-choice options could affect future school-consolidation decisions and eligibility for School Building Authority support or matching funds for potential construction projects. The state official described a proposed change to the state-aid formula and noted that preliminary funding calculations were expected in December, subject to legislative changes. The session concluded with future meeting dates and adjournment; no specific capital project or purchasing action was approved.
