Board approves out-of-state student trips, interactive panels purchase and surplus list; places bullying and code-of-conduct updates on public review
Summary
The board unanimously approved six out-of-state student trips, authorized purchase and installation of 32 interactive panels (Howard Industries) to be paid with Eastblast and general funds, approved the technology surplus list, and placed updated bullying policy (JCD AG) and student code of conduct exhibit (JCDA-E1) on the table for public review.
At its June 15 meeting, the Oconee County Board of Education approved multiple action items covering student travel, classroom technology, and policy review.
The board voted (voice votes recorded as 5-0) to approve six out-of-state student trips previously recommended by Student Services, including FCCLA travel to Washington, D.C., high school band and drama travel to New York (April 2027), and other athletics/trip itineraries described in the meeting packet. The superintendent moved items A–F as a block and the motion passed unanimously.
On procurement, staff recommended approving Howard Industries Incorporated for purchase and installation of 32 interactive panels for third grade classrooms at a bid price listed in the packet; the project will be funded from Eastblast dollars and the general fund. The board approved the purchase by unanimous vote.
The Technology department’s spring surplus list was approved as presented, and the board also adopted the 2026–27 board meeting calendar.
On policy, the board voted to place Board policy JCD AG (bullying) and the JCDA-E1 student code of conduct exhibit on the table for public review and comment until the July meeting. The administration characterized the policy updates as aligning district practice with recent state statutory changes (see related authority entry) and as subject to public comment before final action.
All action items were recorded in the meeting as passing 5-0.
