Board approves the consent agenda, several MOUs and contracts, meeting calendar and personnel items
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, out-of-state travel, meeting dates, MOUs with Minnick Family Dentistry, Communities in Schools and WVU, a DeLuca at-risk contract, Marion County Medicaid billing arrangement, a WVU Medicine scoreboard sponsorship and personnel recommendations; most passed by voice vote with little extended debate.
At its regular meeting the Harrison County Board of Education approved a series of routine and substantive items by voice vote, including consent items and multiple memoranda of understanding and contracts.
Key approvals included:
- Consent agenda and an out-of-state travel/study request (approved by voice vote). - 2026–27 board meeting dates (approved; board asked staff to consider moving the March 16 meeting to avoid conflict with state basketball tournaments). - Minnick Family Dentistry memorandum of understanding to provide services affecting students at Big Elm, Lincoln Middle and Lincoln High School (motion carried). - Communities in Schools MOU supported by a West Virginia Department of Education grant to implement CIS services at four primary and four intermediate schools plus Liberty as listed in the packet (motion carried). - An affiliation agreement with West Virginia University (School of Medicine and related departments) to host students in athletic training, physical therapy and communication sciences programs; board discussion noted typical participation of one to two students (motion carried). - A DeLuca Family Wellness contract for at-risk services for the 2026–27 school year (motion carried). - An MOU continuing Marion County to submit Medicaid billing on the district’s behalf; staff explained Marion County acts as a host that gathers and forwards billing data (motion carried). - WVU Medicine sponsorship contract for a scoreboard at Bridgeport High School running five years (to 2031) (motion carried). - Personnel recommendations listed in the meeting packet; board clarified that a prior hearing topic is not being decided tonight and that personnel decisions tonight were for the recommended items (motion carried).
All listed items were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the meeting record shows no roll-call tallies in the transcript for these votes. Members asked clarifying questions on a few items (for example, how many students might participate in WVU affiliations), and staff responded with the information available in the packet.
Board discussion also included approval of a Liberty renovation change order and acceptance of the Veritas Contracting low bid for Bridgeport Middle School (separately reported).
