The Preston County Schools Board of Education meeting on July 13, 2026, included several procurement and spending actions.

It also approved Stuck Enterprises’ bid to supply fuel and petroleum products for the 2026–27 school year; the district received one bid, and no award amount was stated. The board approved payment schedules, including discussion of Electronic Specialties charges of approximately $40,000 and $5,000 associated with work at the Rollsberg Opportunity Center, identified as camera-system work and an entry phone installation. It approved an emergency-planning MOU with Preston Federal Credit Union (4–0, with one abstention) and a student-teacher placement MOU with West Virginia University (5–0). A proposed revision to travel reimbursement policies was not acted on and is expected to return with revisions. The board also discussed staffing and compensation schedules, but deferred action for corrections.

Other discussion included possible future policy allowing K–3 parents to opt students out of personal electronic devices for curricular purposes; members expressed interest in further discussion and staff and parent input, but took no action. The board discussed setting board goals and special-education funding advocacy, and received updates on school maintenance, a bus fire investigation, and facility preparations.
