The Putnam County School Board held a meeting on August 25, 2026, which included presentations on career and technical education (CTE) programs, literacy coach endorsements, and discussions on district operations. The CTE overview highlighted the growth of programs, industry certifications earned, and recent grants such as a $300,000 aerospace grant supporting student training and partnerships with local businesses. The board approved several procurement-related items during an emergency session, including payment to 4 Acre Mechanical for heating and AC services, an agreement with the Department of Health for the Children's Reading Center, and an easement with Clay Electric for school properties. Additionally, the board discussed the potential establishment of an inspector general or internal auditor position to improve oversight of district processes and finances. A workshop on the district's insurance plan was also proposed for a future meeting. The meeting concluded with board member reports praising the CTE program and district initiatives.
