The Jackson County School Board moved through a consent-laden agenda and approved multiple routine items Tuesday, including meeting minutes, fundraisers, out-of-state trips, insurance renewal and a change to the district calendar.
The board approved the regular meeting minutes from Jan. 19, 2026, and special meeting minutes from Jan. 30, 2026, and gave unanimous approval to establishing and reestablishing staff positions, school fundraisers, out-of-state overnight travel requests, and renewal of student accident insurance through Zurich American Insurance Company. The board also approved hosting the 2026 Congressional Academy at Jackson County High School and continuation plans for the Family Resource Youth Service Center. Each item was moved and seconded and recorded as approved with the four named voting members responding in the affirmative.
Board members Rhonda, Eddie, Ronnie and Eugene recorded their votes in roll-call fashion. On the calendar change, the board voted to convert a scheduled staff work day to an instructional day on March 16, 2026, meaning students will attend that day. A staff member told the board the change was proposed because the district is "so behind," and the motion was approved after a second.
