# Jefferson County Board of Education Meeting November 9, 2026

The Jefferson County Board of Education meeting on November 9, 2026, included staff recognitions and two school-business partnership signings. No contracts, bids, vendor awards, or purchasing decisions were identified. Superintendent Bishop said he would meet with the West Virginia School Building Authority about possible funding for an addition at Jefferson High School; no funding decision or amount was reported. A board member also reported that parks upgrades were continuing, without specific project or spending details.

The board voted to place 38 policy items—three new policies, 29 revisions, three technical corrections, two rescissions, and one reissued policy—out for public comment, with possible approval scheduled for November 30. Discussion included proposed crowdfunding provisions that could allow platforms such as GoFundMe, as well as a change to superintendent residency requirements. These were policy discussions, not procurement approvals. The consent agenda was approved; no procurement-related spending action was reported.
