September 22, 2025 Jefferson County Board of Education Meeting Regular Session

The Jefferson County Board of Education held a regular session on September 22, 2025, focusing primarily on student recognitions, operational updates, and safety initiatives. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a $30,000 safety grant for security cameras to comply with West Virginia House Bill 3166, and the selection of Data Mark, a Pennsylvania-based company, under a state contract to provide digital 3D mapping of school buildings integrated with local law enforcement systems at a cost of $66,341. The board also discussed repurposing the former OLC building into a Jefferson County Safety Facility to centralize school safety operations, including monitoring security cameras and coordinating with law enforcement. While the motion to repurpose the building passed, the board requested a detailed plan and cost proposal for the facility's renovation and operation. Additionally, personnel matters were addressed in an executive session, resulting in the approval of a superintendent's recommendation to terminate an employee effective September 22, 2025.
