Martinsville board approves RFP advertisement, calendar change and several grants and donations
Summary
The MSD Martinsville Schools board approved permission to advertise an RFPQ for a bot process, changed the 2026–27 parent-teacher conference calendar to half-days, and approved several grants and donations including a $4,840 Project AWARE mini grant and multiple school donations.
The MSD Martinsville Schools Board of Education approved a slate of administrative actions at its recent meeting, including permission to advertise an RFPQ for the district's bot process, a change to the 2026–27 district calendar for parent-teacher conferences, and several grants and donations.
Board President Luke Jackson called for a motion to advertise the RFPQ; a board member moved the item and it passed on a voice vote. The board also voted to change the 2026–27 district calendar so parent-teacher conferences will use a half-day rather than an asynchronous learning day, citing the district’s limited use of asynchronous days in prior years.
On grants and donations, Assistant Superintendent Susie Lipps outlined a Project AWARE 2026 health and wellness mini grant for $4,840 to fund supplies and a professional-development speaker; the board approved the grant. The board also approved a $1,000 donation to Peregrine Elementary's Read to the Final 4 initiative, a $1,000 donation from Sandra and Timothy Fish to the high school academic team, and an $800 donation from Brooklyn Christian Church to MHS DECA.
Motions were moved and seconded on the floor and approved by voice votes; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally for each vote. The board additionally approved the broader consent agenda (minutes, payroll, claims and personnel reports) with one claim (an RD production claim) pulled for separate consideration.
The board adjourned after brief public comment and superintendent remarks about upcoming school events.
