Raleigh County Schools Board of Education regular meeting, titled November 10, 2026 (meeting metadata is dated November 11), included public comments opposing proposed school closures and raising concerns about indoor air quality and the failing HVAC system at Coal City Elementary. A parent requested a public bid to replace that system and new environmental testing; another cited the previously opened bids for HVAC overhauls at ACT and $27.5 million in Woodrow Wilson High School expansions, including $5.5 million in local funds. These were raised in public comment; the board took no procurement action on Coal City HVAC during this meeting, and no contract award or new bid approval was identified.

The board approved the superintendent’s recommendation to close Cranberry-Prosperity and merge it into Bradley, Maxwell Hill, and Stanford at the end of the 2026–27 school year, with Board Member Smith dissenting (4–1). It also approved closing Mabscott and merging it into Crescent and Hollywood, and relocating Hollywood’s severe disabilities program to Beckley; Smith again dissented (4–1). The board unanimously amended the Comprehensive Educational Facilities Plan to reflect both closures for submission to the state Board of Education and School Building Authority. Other actions included moving a November meeting date and approving personnel matters; no related procurement awards or spending approvals were reported.
