The Lamar County Board of Education on July 30, 2025 met in a special called session in the Lamar County School District boardroom in Purvis and unanimously approved the general agenda and a consent agenda that included personnel recommendations and a vehicle purchase.

The motion carried unanimously, with votes recorded for Jennie Hensarling, Lance LeFan and Shae Farmer and no votes against. Mr. Jordan Carlisle was listed as absent; Dr. Quick, superintendent, was recorded as also present.

During the consent agenda the board approved the personnel agenda and a procurement item described in the minutes as the purchase of a 2025 RAM 2500 Crew Cab 4X4 truck at a cost of $45,931.00 from Kirk Auto Group under state contract #8200077396.
