The Randolph County Schools Board of Education approved several 2025–26 district policies, awarded vendor contracts for food service and construction, and authorized the purchase of a driver’s education vehicle at a regularly scheduled meeting.
Board members adopted the district’s proposed 2025–26 Internet safety and use of technology policy, the wireless communication device policy and the 2025–26 wellness policy after the superintendent presented each recommendation and the board voted to accept them.
The board accepted a $338,906.06 bid from Adams Construction and Associates Inc. for a multi-use storage building to be built at the Board of Education. The board also approved the recommended purchase of a Kia Sportage from Buster Miles Kia for $27,136 as a driver’s education vehicle; the superintendent said the district plans to buy one vehicle this year and may purchase another next year to refresh the driver’s education fleet.
Food-service contracts for the 2025–26 school year were awarded as recommended: Forestwood Farms won the shelf-stable milk bid and the milk bid; Flower Bakery was awarded the bread bid; and Quality Produce was awarded the produce bid.
