Board of Education Meeting July 9, 2026

The New Albany Communications Board of Education held a meeting on July 9, 2026, where several administrative and operational items were addressed. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of annual contracts for home instruction, interpretation, and translation services to support student needs.
