# Regular Board of Education Meeting 8/31/26

The Anson County Schools Board of Education held a regular meeting on August 31, 2026, focusing primarily on school operations, community engagement, and budgetary matters. Key procurement-related discussions centered on the allocation and management of Title One federal funding, which totals approximately $1.5 million. The board reviewed how about $1.275 million is allocated to district set-asides, including personnel costs such as instructional coaches, with roughly $238,000 distributed directly to individual schools. There was detailed discussion about the impact of recent salary increases (3% to 8%) on the budget and the challenge of funding a full-time instructional coach at the middle school. The board also addressed facility management issues related to the new middle school, including minor construction and drainage concerns being resolved with contractors. Additionally, policy updates reflecting state legislative changes were approved without opposition. The board discussed community use of school facilities, deciding not to rent out the old middle school due to staffing constraints. No new contracts or vendor selections were explicitly mentioned, but the conversation highlighted ongoing fiscal prudence and resource allocation decisions affecting instructional support and facility maintenance.
