October 1st, 2026 Desoto County School Board Meeting

The DeSoto County Schools Board of Education meeting, identified by the title as October 1, 2026 (metadata timestamp: October 2, 2026), approved multiple contractual agreements for architectural services supporting school facility projects. Projects included flooring at Center Hill Middle School and Over Park Elementary; an HVAC replacement at a school identified unclearly in the transcript; laundry equipment replacements at Southaven High, DeSoto Central High, Center Hill High, and Lake Cormorant High; paving at Greenbrook Elementary and Southaven Middle; additional parking at Walls Elementary; playground replacement at DeSoto Central Primary; roofing at DeSoto Central High; and track improvements at Horn Lake High. The board also considered architectural services for projects at Central Elementary and DeSoto Central High. Motions and seconds were recorded for the project agreements, followed by votes in favor. The architectural firm’s name is garbled and inconsistent in the transcript, and no contract amounts or numbers were stated.

The board approved the agenda, prior meeting minutes, personnel recommendations, and a request to pay a vendor for services, although the vendor and service details were not provided. The superintendent asked that a property contract matter be considered in executive session; the board subsequently voted to enter closed session for student matters and a property contract. Public comment addressed language and personal anecdotes, with no procurement matters raised there.
