Summary
Superintendent Arskey used his final board meeting on June 16 to thank staff and community partners, highlight district achievements including a near-75% excess levy approval and several new schools, and express confidence in the district serving about 11,000 students.
Superintendent Arskey used his final Cabell County Schools board meeting on June 16 to thank employees, families and community partners and to recap key accomplishments during his tenure.
Arskey told the board and audience that the district had recent successes including passage of an excess levy that he said carried nearly 75% approval, the openings of Davis Creek, Meadows and Milton elementaries and the new Woody Williams Center for Advanced Learning and Careers, and a range of student achievements from national merit semifinalists to career-technical credentials. "Cabell County Schools has been such a blessing to me and my family," Arskey said, thanking volunteers, first responders, businesses and elected officials.
The superintendent reviewed the district's recent work to stabilize finances after a difficult personnel season in FY25 and credited staff efforts that, he said, put the district on a sustainable trajectory. He noted the district serves about 11,000 students and expressed confidence in the board and district leadership going forward.
Board members offered thanks during the board-comments portion of the meeting and recognized outgoing board members for their service. The meeting continued with routine business, including a 42-item consent agenda and financial and personnel votes. The board also introduced Stacy Losh, the district's newly hired director, and approved several personnel and disciplinary actions before adjourning.
