# 9/28/26 Board Meeting

The September 28, 2026 school board meeting included presentations on school improvement plans and student and staff recognitions. Principals discussed academic performance, student support, family engagement, and school goals; no related budget allocations or purchases were identified. The board also discussed bleachers at Cougar Field, including how ownership might be handled if an organization raised funds for portable bleachers, but the transcript does not establish a specific purchase or funding commitment.

The main property-related action concerned the proposed surplus sale of the former John Cotton Taylor and S.W. Snowden school properties. The board approved moving forward with an upset-bid process, contingent on the county commissioners’ October 5 consideration of whether to purchase the properties. The properties would be offered separately, with a minimum bid of $100,000 each; sale notices and supporting information would be posted online and advertised in local newspapers. Any bid would return to the board for its decision, and no sale or contract award occurred at this meeting. The board also approved a policy-development rule generally barring reconsideration of a substantially similar proposal for six months after a failed vote, unless the board votes to revisit it sooner.
