# August 10, 2026 - Iredell-Statesville Board of Education Meeting

The Iredell Statesville Board of Education held a meeting on August 10, 2026, focusing on several key procurement and budget-related items. The board approved the beginning teacher support plan and discussed the strategic plan update, highlighting goals for academic proficiency, teacher retention, and transportation efficiency. Significant attention was given to capital improvement projects, including the approval of a $180,800 contract for replacing the chiller at North Ardale High School and a change order related to steel for Weathers Creek High School. The board also approved a $20 million funding request for phase two of the Weathers Creek High School athletic facilities, despite some concerns about the process and scope reductions. Additionally, the board discussed the process for selecting a new board attorney, deciding to reopen the RFP with a $250,000 annual cap and involve the board in the selection process. Finally, the board approved the Title One intent to apply for federal funding for the 2026-2027 school year, which supports additional staffing at designated schools. Public comments addressed concerns about school leadership and redistricting, but no direct procurement actions arose from those remarks.
