# RCS BOE Meeting - July 21, 2026

The Randolph County Schools Board of Education’s regular meeting on July 21, 2026, included discussion of school property, student programs, and district planning. The board considered a legal matter concerning donation of the former Harman School property; members discussed notifying the board when the recipient obtains 501(c)(3) status, and the recorded vote on that item passed. A community representative described plans to reopen a school in Harman on September 8, outside the county school system, and expressed interest in maintaining a cooperative relationship with the public schools. The board also approved a consent-calendar item for staff to attend training at Ron Clark Academy. The transcript indicates the trip was largely covered through Ron Clark Academy and Huntington Bank support, with mileage to Pittsburgh discussed as a possible remaining expense. No RFPs, contract awards, or formal purchasing approvals were identified. Weapons detectors at the middle school were discussed as needing to be ordered, but no purchase authorization or funding decision was recorded.

The board reviewed student achievement and credit recovery, and received training on House Bill 2499 requirements for special education. Staff also described a grant-funded project being developed with DRS to create work-based learning opportunities for students with disabilities in grades 9–12, with a planned launch the following school year. In a work session, board members discussed goals and strategic planning, possible future school rezoning or closures, bus and traffic planning, and school safety. These were discussion topics rather than recorded procurement actions.
