HCS Regular Meeting - June 2, 2026

The Harrison County Schools Board held a regular meeting on June 2, 2026, which included various recognitions, program updates, and operational reports. Key procurement-related discussions focused on facility projects and capital improvements, including $62,000 allocated for flooring and maintenance work across schools, ongoing construction at RCB, and surveying and planning for Bridgeport High School. The board also discussed the acquisition of new school buses, with four buses received and two more special needs buses pending. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to reviewing and debating sponsorship contracts related to athletic scoreboards at Bridgeport High School and RCB. Concerns were raised about the timing and structure of sponsorship payments, the use of athletic funds, and the legal implications of exclusivity clauses in multi-year agreements. The board ultimately voted to table the approval of these contracts to allow further review and coordination between school administration and purchasing departments. Additionally, the board approved a $140,100 purchase order renewal for a news subscription and approved changes to the dental and vision plan documents. Personnel matters were also addressed, including retirements and coaching volunteer policies. Overall, the meeting highlighted ongoing capital improvement projects, procurement challenges related to sponsorship agreements, and routine operational approvals.
