# Mingo County Board of Education Regular Meeting October 20, 2026 at 500 PM

At its October 20, 2026 regular meeting, the Mingo County Board of Education reviewed district academic and attendance performance and received an update on its Comprehensive Facilities Plan (CFP). Procurement and capital work discussed included the Tug Valley safe-school-entry project, which was out for bid with bids expected within the next few weeks; a wastewater-treatment project at Tug Valley High School, for which funding has been received and design is underway; and facility needs including roofs, windows, doors, flooring, stair treads, and fire-suppression systems. The board was also told that the Lenore PK-8 roof was replaced in 2024 and that additional facility funding is being pursued through the state school building process. No project costs or bid amounts were stated, and no award for the safe-entry project was reported.

The board approved an agreement with Education Consulting Team for financial operations and payroll support, a bid for fuel-management software and services (vendor name unclear in the transcript), a contract with the Supreme Court of Appeals for a school-based probation officer, and a contract with DSO Mechanical for Lenore PK-8 HVAC renovations. Approved purchases included 514 Chromebooks from Zones and an Anatomage table for the CTE clinical studies program; the board also approved donating a surplus bus to the Mingo County Fire Chiefs Association for emergency-response use. Financial reports, bills, transfers, supplements, and personnel items were approved. Policy revisions—including revised procedures for procurement using federal grant funds—were among items presented for final approval after public comment; first-reading policies were sent for a 30-day comment period.
