Floyd Board adopts attendance policy, accepts resignation and reschedules graduation

The Floyd Board of Education met July 13, 2026, and approved a series of routine and policy items ahead of the 2026‑27 school year. The board accepted a member resignation, adopted a local attendance policy, changed the graduation start time, and approved placing an old activity bus in an upcoming auction.

Vice‑President Tice Love moved to approve the meeting agenda and later moved to approve the prior meeting minutes; both motions were seconded and recorded as carried unanimously. President Kenny Reed opened the meeting at 7:00 p.m., and Superintendent Todd Burleson confirmed no public comment forms had been submitted.

In facility updates, Burleson reported that WWRC has begun renovations on the girls' and boys' locker rooms and that flooring improvements, middle‑school painting and gym floor recoating are complete as the district prepares for the new school year. Burleson also said the district expects delivery of the new activity bus during the first week of August.

On motions and formal actions, the board unanimously:
