# 2026-10-05 Regular Board Meeting

The Lenoir County Public Schools Board of Education’s regular meeting, identified in the title and agenda as October 5, 2026, included a facilities update, budget actions, and school-program reports. The district reported submitting its North Carolina needs-based facilities grant application to NCDPI, with support from county commissioners and other representatives. The new E.B. Frink Middle School construction project was reported as on schedule and on budget for completion as early as January 2027; no project cost or contractor details were provided. The board approved Budget Amendment No. 1 for fiscal year 2026–27, which revises the working budget, but the transcript gives no dollar amounts or specific allocations.

The board also considered surplus maintenance items; proceeds from sales are to return to the maintenance department, while items with little or no value are to go to an authorized electronic recycler. No specific items or sale values were stated, and the transcript does not clearly capture the related vote. Other discussion covered school improvement plans, intervention-program results, and the process for developing the next school calendar. No contract awards or vendor selections were identified.
