Martin County Schools - NC - September Board of Education Meeting 09-14-2026-6:30 pm

The Martin County Schools Board of Education held their September meeting on September 14, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included a detailed update on the $62 million new Martin County High School construction project, which is on budget and on schedule with phased site work and building construction planned through August 2028. The board reviewed the construction phases, utility rerouting, and upcoming bidding for site work contracts. Additionally, the board considered a request from Nersba to use the school district's fuel resources but voted to deny the request due to operational, financial, and liability concerns. The board also approved the Title I budget for the 2026-27 school year, allocating approximately $1.9 million to district and school expenses including salaries, professional development, and parent involvement. A 10% salary increase for the superintendent was approved. No other contract awards or vendor selections were reported. The meeting included presentations on academic progress and recognitions but focused primarily on the high school construction project and budgetary approvals.
