# Regular Board Meeting - 5:30 p.m. - Oct 01 2026

The Henry County Public Schools regular board meeting, held October 1, 2026, included consideration of a multi-year architectural and engineering (A&E) services contract. Staff reported that 12 firms submitted proposals and 11 were interviewed; the evaluation committee recommended RMM of Virginia for a contract renewable annually for up to four years. The transcript is unclear about whether the motion to award was seconded or how the board voted, and no contract value is stated. The board also discussed athletic-facility needs, including lighting at high-school baseball and softball fields and deteriorating asphalt on the FC Middle School track. Staff noted these items would need to be considered through the capital improvement plan and that the division has no dedicated facilities budget; approximately $50,000 was cited as the current facilities budget, while the 1% sales tax is restricted to qualifying projects.

The board unanimously approved the agenda and four consent-agenda items, whose contents are not specified in the transcript. It considered a new whole-grade acceleration policy, but no motion or action is recorded. Other discussion covered elementary environmental and civic education, career and technical education programs and internships, and school activities. No other procurement awards or spending decisions were clearly identified.
