# Wayne County Board of Education Meeting

The Wayne County Board of Education meeting on November 2, 2026, included several procurement and facilities matters. The board approved an extension of Wayne County Public Schools’ agreement with North Carolina State University for clinical intern teachers. It approved bids for resurfacing the Southern Wayne and Spring Creek high school tennis courts; the related contract is expected to return to the board in December. The board also approved an RFQ for architectural and engineering services to estimate classroom additions at Carver, Grantham, and Spring Creek Elementary Schools, by a 5–2 vote. Discussion emphasized that the additions are not to proceed until the Brogden Primary project advances and state grant and county funding are addressed. The board approved the Fremont property sale proposal at $59,575.69, less deposits of $28,884.56, with insurance proceeds of up to $101,898.80 directed to the company repairing the building. The consent agenda, including purchase orders and contracts, was also approved; the transcript does not provide a complete itemized list of those purchases.

A $15,000 North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission grant was presented to Eastern Wayne FFA to help purchase a tractor, with an additional $5,000 investment from the WCPS Career and Technical Education Department. The board approved school and district improvement plans, and finance committee matters included stipends for COTAs and physical therapy assistants and community donations. The finance committee also reported a possible fuel-budget shortfall due to diesel costs, for information only, with no spending motion noted. No specific vendor selection for the classroom additions or tennis court contracts was made at this meeting.
