# Wayne County Board of Education Regular Meeting, 10/27/2026 at 5:00 p.m.

The Wayne County Board of Education regular meeting was held October 27, 2026. The board approved requisitions 2–6 collectively, 5–0; the discussion referenced an ice maker, an ASL class payment, and professional-development funds for principal consulting, with no amounts or vendors stated. It also approved October 2026 budget supplements and transfers, 5–0. The district reported that costs for over-formula positions had fallen from $13.5 million to $10.6 million and its identified funding shortfall from $5.5 million to $2.6 million, while projecting a $4.5 million shortfall next year amid enrollment declines and an estimated $2 million reduction in state funding.

Construction updates covered ongoing work, including completed footers, rising block walls, and installation and testing of fire-suppression and kitchen piping. For water penetration at CK Elementary, the district had notified its insurer and requested a third-party engineering assessment; a playground drainage contractor was not expected to be available until December or January. The board made no new construction contract awards or approvals with disclosed costs. It voted 5–0 to decline the West Virginia Division of Highways’ request that the district assume maintenance and governance of County Road 746 serving the Spring Valley High School complex.
