Anderson County Schools Board of Education: August 13, 2026

The Anderson County Schools Board of Education held a meeting on August 13, 2026, where various educational and administrative topics were discussed. A significant procurement-related decision involved selecting a realtor to sell the old Claxton Elementary School property. The board reviewed proposals from multiple realtors and ultimately voted to approve Bear Stevenson's bid, noting his financial benefits including a 5% commission rebate to the county and his strong community involvement. The board also approved financial reports, budget transfers, and several policy updates related to teacher conduct, student safety, and digital instruction compliance. Additionally, updates on school enrollment, staffing, facility improvements, and new student programs were provided, but no other direct procurement or contracting actions were taken during the meeting.
