Superintendent: Duval construction progressing; test scores to be reviewed at next meeting
Summary
Superintendent Barnett told the Lincoln County Board of Education on Aug. 19 that construction at Duval is advancing, bricks are going up, and that district test scores (no longer embargoed) will be reviewed at the Aug. 26 meeting; the board will also recognize state-champion girls softball and national competition entrants at that meeting.
Superintendent Barnett updated the Lincoln County Board of Education Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2025, that construction at the Duval site is underway and that "bricks [are] going up on the side of the building" as of the meeting day. Barnett said the district is encouraged by visible progress at the site.
Barnett also told the board that district testing data are no longer under embargo and that Miss Shortridge will present the results and a plan of action at the board's next meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 26. Barnett said the curriculum team has prepared a plan that builds on prior work, adding a renewed focus on mathematics alongside ongoing literacy efforts.
The superintendent added that the board will recognize two groups at the Aug. 26 meeting: the Lincoln County Little League girls softball team for a state championship and students from the Early Childhood Academy who competed at the national Educators Rising event and won awards. Barnett said the Duval work and the student recognitions reflect positive momentum at the start of the school year.
No detailed test-score figures, timelines for Duval construction, or project budgets were provided in the Aug. 19 meeting transcript; Barnett said Miss Shortridge will give a full breakdown at the next meeting.
