# Wayne County Board of Education Regular Meeting 8/11/2026 at 5:00 p.m.

The Wayne County Board of Education’s regular meeting on August 11, 2026, included several facilities and service purchasing decisions. The board approved district-wide HVAC maintenance and repair proposals from Mason and Barry, which offered the lowest rates, and Debraw for specialized Mitsubishi-unit work. It also selected Elevated for elevator maintenance and inspections instead of incumbent Otis, citing an annual cost several thousand dollars lower; the motion carried 4–0. The board approved an agreement with Marshall University for Spring Valley High School’s swim team to use the Henderson Center pool (4–0), and approved speech-and-language services for students with IEPs (4–0). Requisitions, purchase orders, and quotes exceeding $5,000 were reviewed, with no changes reported; the transcript does not capture a vote on that item.

The board rejected, on a 2–2 vote, a proposal to accept offers of $10,000 for the Dunlow property and $60,000 from the county commission for the Genoa property, subject to removing kitchen or other auctionable equipment. A subsequent motion to proceed with plans to auction the properties passed 3–1, with auction details and any proposed agreement to return for board approval. The meeting also addressed ongoing school construction and flooring work, and approved a local course offering and standards for a high-school power-line program; the outcome of that course motion is not audible in the transcript.
