# Moore County School Board Regular Business Meeting 11-9-26

Moore County Schools Board of Education regular business meeting, November 9, 2026. The board approved a contract with Tommy Lawrence Electrical Contractors LLC for North Moore High School athletic field LED lighting, funded with county funds. The amount is transcribed incompletely as “$421,15,” so the exact figure is unclear. The board also approved fuel-oil purchasing arrangements described as accumulating to more than $50,000 per school annually; individual bills are typically $12,000–$15,000, and any amount exceeding the approved threshold is to return to the board. The consent agenda passed. A district website replacement was announced for the 2027–28 school year: the new platform was identified in the transcript as “Adaptogy,” at a little over $27,000 annually compared with about $40,000 for the current service.

The superintendent reported that county commissioners will fund the purchase and installation of generators at North Moore, Union Pines, and Pinecrest high schools so the sites can serve as emergency shelters and maintain operations during power outages. The board also approved school improvement and safety plans. Duke Energy incentives were discussed for athletic lighting; North Moore is not eligible because it receives electricity from Randolph Electric, while Pinecrest may consider an incentive if available. Public comments raised concerns about exceptional-children’s services, funding transparency, and district accountability, but no related procurement action was taken.
