# Mooresville Graded Board of Education - October 6, 2026

The Mooresville Graded School District Board of Education meeting on October 6, 2026, included updates on the Advanced Teaching Roles grant, which the district is developing with the Opportunity Culture model and vendor Public Impact. The program is expected to begin in two middle schools in 2027–28 and uses grant funding for planning and training, alongside state-funded teacher supplements; officials discussed the three-year funding period, possible extension, and long-term sustainability. The board also approved using approximately $200,000 in local funds to ensure eligible employees receive bonuses. No contract award or competitive procurement decision was identified.

The board approved three student field trips: an NJROTC trip to Auburn University, the Tuskegee Museum, and the Montgomery Civil Rights Trail (about 40 students, estimated at $400 per student, with fundraising available); sixth-grade Camp Thunderbird trips (about 100–140 students, approximately $200 per student); and a seventh- and eighth-grade trip to the Trinity Center (about 48 students, approximately $330 per student). The board also approved school improvement plans and voted to create a board policy manual targeted for completion by the end of the 2026–27 school year. Public comment raised questions about the district’s AI guidelines, but no action was taken on that topic.
