The Shenandoah County School Board handled routine business on Nov. 12 and approved several administrative items.
By voice vote the board approved the consent agenda — minutes, paid bills, donations, field trips, surplus property and the September library-material purchase list — 5–0. The personnel list was approved by motion. The board approved recommended revisions to the student code of conduct addressing dress code by roll call (5–0). Board member Mister Ricker moved the dress-code recommendation; the motion was seconded and passed without recorded opposition.
The board adopted the FY27 budget-development calendar and meeting dates for 2026 by a 5–0 vote. Earlier in the meeting members agreed to move agenda item 6.2 (a capital-improvement project) to the Jan. 26, 2026 regular meeting so the full board, including newly seated members in January, can consider the proposal.
In the informational agenda, Miss Campbell asked the board at a future meeting (no action taken on Nov. 12) to increase the FY26 special budget appropriation by $524,000 to reauthorize two-year federal grant balances (largely IDEA and entitlement grants). She said no additional local funding is required; the request is to extend/reauthorize existing grant appropriations for the second year of performance.
During the superintendent’s report Dr. Shepherd said October attendance improved to 95.32% year over year. Staff updates included that temporary modular trailers for Sandy Hook are awaiting a building permit and carpet-to-tile renovation is planned over winter break with a goal of 15 rooms total across schools; copier leases are managed school-by-school with Xerox representatives.
No additional formal votes were recorded on the capital project at this meeting; the board will revisit the item in January when newly elected members join.
