# October 19, 2026 Board Work Session 9:00AM

The October 19, 2026 Hornet County Board of Education work session focused primarily on school performance updates from district principals. The board approved the low-performing schools improvement plan and an agreement for design consultant services for the new CTE high school. The design agreement includes written-authorization requirements before the consultant proceeds to later design phases, intended to strengthen district oversight and control project commitments and expenditures. The transcript identifies the consultant as “SF LNA” (transcription uncertain); no contract amount was stated. No other procurement awards or spending approvals were identified.

The board also appointed three voting delegates to the 2026 North Carolina School Boards Association conference and voted to move its December meeting from the 7th to the 14th. School presentations discussed academic results, interventions, staffing, and existing tutoring and technology-support efforts, but included no related purchasing decisions or new budget allocations. The board entered and returned from closed session without further action, then adjourned.
