The Raleigh County Schools board reconvened its March 10 meeting and approved the district's 2026—9 levy rates by voice vote after a staff member told the board the rates had been approved by the tax commissioner and the State Auditor's Office.
A staff member told the board, "we have received approval from tax commissioner. The rates have been published. We have had no comments on the rates and they are as presented to you in our previous meeting," and said a notice of approval from the State Auditor's Office was included in the packet. The staff member concluded, "I would recommend approval." The speaker addressed Dr. Starcher and President Ford while presenting the packet.
The presiding officer asked for a motion to approve the levy rates. A board member moved, "I move we approve the re levy rates 26 27 as were submitted to us." The motion was seconded; on a voice vote the presiding officer said, "All those in favor say I. I. Motion carries." The board then adjourned.
The record in the meeting packet includes the staff member's notice of approval from the State Auditor's Office, and the presiding officer recorded that all board members were present for the reconvened session. The meeting contained no recorded public comment on the levy rates.
