Board approves MOUs for resource officers and routine transportation training; Mercy & Grace MOU noted as new, not a renewal
Summary
The board approved MOUs with the Raleigh County Sheriff's Department and the City of Beckley for resource officers (district pays $50,000 per officer, not to exceed $150,000 for three officers), approved a routine SCS bus-training MOU, and clarified a Mercy & Grace Consulting MOU is a new agreement.
The board approved a group of MOUs and clarified the nature of one consent item. Superintendent Dr. Starcher noted a draft MOU with the City of Beckley appeared edited by the mayor and explained a previously available grant is no longer provided; the MOU provisions as presented still describe district payment of $50,000 per resource officer "not to exceed $150,000" to cover three officer positions assigned to specific high schools.
The board also approved a routine annual agreement with the SCSC (School Service/Certification Commission) for bus operator training and exams for 2026–27. Chair clarified item H on the consent agenda is approval of an MOU with Mercy and Grace Consulting and repeated that it is a new agreement rather than a renewal. All consent items and the training MOU were approved in the meeting’s consent process.
Votes on the consent calendar and individual MOUs were recorded as carried; the meeting record shows board approval for the listed agreements.
