Boone County School Board Meeting For March 2026

The Boone County School Board held a meeting on March 13, 2026, where several key procurement and budget-related items were discussed. The board approved the instructional time and fee structures for the 2026-2027 school year, with minimal changes to fees to provide schools more flexibility. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the redistricting recommendation for Ballyshannon and Camp Ernst Middle Schools, where scenario one, allowing grandfathering for current students, was approved to address enrollment and capacity issues. The board also reviewed a detailed audit report indicating a clean financial opinion and discussed the property and casualty insurance procurement process. A consultant presented multiple broker proposals, recommending competitive bids from Gallagher, Houchens, and USI, with the board ultimately selecting Gallagher and USI to proceed with competitive commercial insurance proposals. The meeting included community input on school redistricting and student services, and the board committed to addressing student requests for improved access to feminine hygiene products. The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of student achievements and district initiatives in career and technical education and early childhood education.
