Quitman County’s official events calendar now lists the Board of Supervisors’ regular meeting schedule through spring and early summer 2026, giving residents advance notice of dates, times and the public meeting location. The calendar lists a biweekly cadence and identifies the meeting site as 220 Chestnut St, Marks, MS 38646.

The county website lists a string of upcoming dates from June 30, 2025, through December 15, 2025. The dates explicitly posted are June 30, 2025; July 14, 2025; July 28, 2025; August 11, 2025; August 25, 2025; September 8, 2025; September 22, 2025; October 6, 2025; October 20, 2025; November 3, 2025; November 17, 2025; December 1, 2025; and December 15, 2025. The site states, "Board meetings start at 9 am. The location is 220 Chestnut St, Marks, MS 38646" and notes "This is a recurring event. Repeating every two weeks."

An independent report citing the county calendar also indicates the schedule extends into 2026, writing, "The county’s official events calendar lists the Board of Supervisors regular meeting schedule and upcoming public events through spring and early summer 2026." That report includes at least two February 2026 entries: "February 10, 2026 (9:00–11:00 a.m.); February 24, 2026 (9:00–11:0", the February 24 line is truncated in the available copy, so the full time string for that date could not be confirmed from the excerpt.

Public access and participation are highlighted on the Quitman County page: "Public participation and involvement is highly encouraged." Residents who plan to attend should note that the calendar and the listed "Next Date Start" field show a start of June 30, 2025 at 9:00 am and an "End" field that reads December 1, 2025 at 11:00 am; the meaning of the "End" field is ambiguous in the extract and may indicate an end time, the end of a recurring series, or a calendar block. Meeting durations of 9:00–11:00 a.m. appear in the February 2026 entries, but the county should be contacted to confirm whether two-hour sessions are routine for all meetings.

For procedural context, neighboring Clarke County explicitly posts rules for appearing on its agenda: "If you wish to appear before the Board of Supervisors to discuss an important matter pertaining to the county, you must fill out a Board Agenda Request form with the Board Secretary." Clarke County adds that "This form can be requested via email boardsecretary@clarkecountyms.gov or can be picked up in person. This form must be submitted to the Board Secretary no later than noon on the Friday prior to the Monday meeting." Clarke County also publishes contact details: 100 East Church St, Quitman, MS 39355; phone 601-776-5873; fax 601-776-1013; admin@clarkecountyms.gov and boardsecretary@clarkecountyms.gov.

Quitman County residents should mark their calendars for the posted June–December 2025 dates and plan to arrive by 9:00 am at 220 Chestnut St in Marks for in-person participation. The county has been asked to confirm the full meeting calendar through early summer 2026, clarify routine end times, and provide a press contact; once those details are available, an updated schedule will help residents prepare to raise issues, monitor budgets and follow decisions that affect local services.
