Randolph County Schools Board of Education members met in a special called session and approved a slate of routine operational items, including a $122,852 flooring contract for Woodland High School and the purchase of three air-conditioned passenger buses priced at $154,863.94 per bus.
The board opened the meeting with an invocation introduced as being given by Lance Daniel and the Pledge of Allegiance before moving through the agenda. The board approved the agenda and the minutes of the June 4, 2026 meeting by voice vote.
On item-specific business, members accepted the superintendent’s recommendation and voted to award Smith’s Flooring a $122,852 contract to install new flooring at Woodland High School. Separately, the board approved the purchase of three passenger buses with air conditioning, with the cost cited in the meeting as $154,863.94 per bus; the superintendent’s recommendation noted that one bus would be assigned to each high school.
The board also approved the district’s 2026–27 student code of conduct, which had been circulated to members in advance, and adopted a unified athletic handbook developed with athletic directors, principals and coaches and reviewed by the district’s attorneys. Two personnel items — job descriptions for a maintenance supervisor and a maintenance worker — and the personnel action sheet were each approved by voice vote.
During final discussion, a board member raised whether older gyms currently used for classroom space and physical education could be air-conditioned. A staff member said Horton Engineering recently reviewed HVAC options and noted some units are 16 years old; staff said they will obtain cost estimates for potential replacements at older gym facilities, including Wadley’s and RCHS old gyms.
All votes recorded in the meeting were conducted by motion, second and voice vote; individual tallies were not specified in the public transcript. The board did not identify individual movers or seconders on the record for the actions summarized.
