Board approves minutes with correction, reviews consent items and sets committee meeting dates
Summary
Board approved minutes with a corrected date, accepted routine consent items including surplus bus disposal (three buses sold for $15,000), and scheduled personnel, facilities and budget committee meetings for January–March.
The Upshur County Schools Board handled routine business, including corrections to minutes, consent items and future meeting scheduling.
Members identified an incorrect historical date in the draft minutes and agreed to correct it (from 1893 to 1971); a committee member moved to approve the minutes with that correction and the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The consent agenda included the disposal and transfer of surplus buses: staff reported Barbour County will receive three buses for a total purchase price of $15,000.
Board members set several special meeting dates: a personnel meeting on Jan. 7 at 1:00 p.m. (pool office), facilities and maintenance on Feb. 2 at 10:00 a.m., and a tentative March 12 preliminary budget session at 10:00 a.m. The board also noted a community meeting hosted by the West Virginia Center on Budget Policy scheduled for Jan. 8 at the high school and reviewed approved field trips, with discussion about private parental transportation policies and the files (drivers’ licenses/insurance) the district holds for parent drivers.
Recognitions included notifying trustees that Tenerton Elementary earned two "Exceed Standard" certificates on the 2025 West Virginia Balanced Scorecard.
The meeting ended with a motion to adjourn at 7:11 p.m.
