The Brooke County Board of Education reorganized its leadership and approved a series of routine requests at a board meeting, including swearing in newly elected and re-elected members and confirming representation on regional boards.
The board welcomed newly elected member Michael Trobert and noted that Stacy Paris and Christian Newton were re-elected; certificates of oath were reported as filed with the Brooke County Clerk's Office. An oath of office was administered and the board recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
The board first approved minutes of the June 22, 2026 regular session after a motion by Miss Perkins and a second from Dr. Marks; the motion carried with all five members voting in favor. The board then opened nominations for president for a two-year term beginning July 1, 2026. Miss Perkins was nominated and, following a motion and second, was elected president by unanimous voice vote. The presiding officer turned the meeting over to Miss Perkins.
Nominations for vice president followed. Robbie Park was nominated and elected vice president by a unanimous voice vote of the five board members.
On routine agenda items, Eric James, identified as high school principal, requested formal approval for Johnny Leonard (previously granted verbally); the board moved, seconded and approved the request. Lori Mclofflin, director of PreK curriculum and federal programs, requested permission for staff listed in the transcript (transcribed as "Sarah Cre," "Dr. Cook," and others) to attend the 2026 leadership summit at Canaan Valley Resort; the board approved the staff travel request.
C. Mitchell of maintenance asked the board to accept a bid from Famous Supply for two electric hot water tanks for the high school and middle school; the board approved acceptance of the bid. The numeric amount in the transcript is unclear and flagged for clarification in the record. The board also approved a request from the Brooke County Sheriff's Department to use a school bus on July 9 for tactical training at the Brooke County Animal Shelter.
There were no superintendent recommendations for budget transfers, no bills to pay, and no service personnel matters recorded at this meeting. The board confirmed its next regular meeting for July 13, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
The board concluded routine business after the agenda items were completed.
