Nelson County Board of Education Meeting September 28, 2026

The Nelson County Board of Education meeting on September 28, 2026, focused primarily on setting the FY2027 property tax rate. After reviewing the annual rate-setting process and discussing tax collection fees paid to the sheriff’s and county clerk’s offices—including an estimated combined cost of about $1 million—the board considered a motion to adopt a general property tax rate of 66.2 cents per $100 of assessed value for real and personal property, down from 67 cents, and a motor vehicle tax rate of 54.8 cents. The motion was made and seconded, but the transcript does not capture the vote or its outcome. The district said additional revenue was expected to support teacher and staff compensation and increased costs; it also noted that property-assessment increases are determined by the PVA.

No contract awards or purchasing decisions were recorded. Board members discussed possible shifts to November and December meeting dates to allow time to review bids for projects at New Haven and Nelson County High School; no bid approvals or other procurement actions occurred in the transcript. The board calendar otherwise remained unchanged, with the next meeting scheduled for October 20.
