At the meeting the board approved prior meeting minutes (vote recorded: six in favor), multiple donations to school programs, payments related to an HVAC project, a May 8, 2026 senior class trip to Kings Island, a resignation and a hiring recommendation for a long-term chemistry substitute.

The board approved routine business and several personnel and finance items during the meeting. Members recorded approval of the previous meeting minutes (vote noted as 6 in favor). The board also approved accounts payable vouchers and financial reports with no substantive discussion recorded.

Donations approved included $50 from Mount Auburn Christian Church and $300 from Mount Gilead Baptist Church for the Spartan food pantry, $500 from Top Crop for FFA, and a $50 donation from the Beta Sigma sorority chapter for the elementary school.

The board approved payments tied to an HVAC project, including a packet-listed payment routed through TechCon/Quality Plumbing & Heating and a separate payment to TCON for $25,400. Board members requested a summer work schedule for the HVAC contractor and staff said scheduling information would be shared from the packet or drive.
