Superintendent Wilson told the Lincoln County Board of Education the district’s special education department was awarded a $40,000 grant to update the PACE lab at Lincoln County High School, which serves students in severe and profound classrooms.

Wilson said paving and resurfacing projects are in the district’s current budget. Work this year includes resealing and restriping Lincoln County High School, repairs at West Hamlin and Hart’s, and central‑office pavement work. He said the district left funds in the budget to address a heavily used county road serving the Do All athletic facility if the district owns that road; staff said they are researching ownership before moving forward.

On construction, Wilson and Mr. Davis reported progress at Duval Pre K–8: several masonry walls are up on the gym, the cafeteria and the STEM room were poured, the elevator shafts are completed and contractors are preparing to pour footers on a two‑story section. Wilson said the meeting with contractors produced no surprises that would draw from contingency funds.

Wilson and curriculum staff reported results from the district’s third I‑Ready diagnostic, saying scores showed growth in ELA and math in multiple places. He described a dashboard created by Miss Shortridge that preloads lessons by grade and standard so teachers and administrators can access aligned materials quickly. The district plans to concentrate on both ELA and math in summer programming.

No formal board vote was required for the updates; board members asked staff to publicize summer school schedules and to continue monitoring construction and paving timelines.
