Wayne County Board of Education Meeting

The Wayne County Board of Education held a meeting on July 6, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related items were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included the approval of a $59,360 playground mulch bid, a one-year service contract with Convergent for access control system maintenance, and the approval of a capital small projects budget. The board also approved a child nutrition bread contract funded by child nutrition funds and a music technology empowerment grant up to $50,000 for Hillsboro High School, pending legal review. Additionally, multiple memoranda of agreement (MOAs) with educational institutions and programs, including North Carolina State University and the WISH program, were approved pending legal review. The board addressed transportation logistics with shuttle bus stops for non-traditional schools and discussed personnel and policy updates, but no new remote learning programs beyond Wayne Middle High Academy were planned. Several items were approved by unanimous vote, and some contracts were noted as pending legal review before finalization.
