School Board Meeting - September 1, 2026

The Russell County Schools Board held a meeting on September 1, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related items were discussed and approved. Key actions included the approval of increased adult breakfast and lunch prices, which are federally set, and the financing for a lease purchase of a new school bus to replace an aging fleet vehicle. Additionally, the board approved three 21st Century grant applications for Castlewood High School, Lebanon High School, and Lebanon Primary School, with one grant amounting to $163,000 per year for five years. Other agenda items included personnel approvals, policy readings, and recognition of school programs, but no new contracts or vendor selections were detailed beyond the bus lease purchase financing.
