Quitman County School Board Holds Feb. 26 Meeting on Budget, Personnel, Policies

The Quitman County School District (QCSD) Board of Education convened a publicly livestreamed/recorded meeting on Thursday, February 26, 2026, and the meeting was presented with "budget, personnel and policy reviews on agenda," according to the meeting notice and headline for the event. The district's posted agenda and the board meeting video show a typical monthly meeting structure but with several items that matter to famili

The district website emphasizes public access: "All Board meetings are public." The site also states, "Regular board meetings are held on the second Monday of every month in the QSD Board Room located at 104 East Franklin Street, Quitman, MS, at 5:00 p.m. If a change is made in time and/or location, it will be posted a week in advance in the central office." That location and 5:00 p.m. start time appear repeatedly in the board calendar for the 2025–2026 school year.

The published board calendar lists specific meeting dates and times across the 2025–2026 school year, including July 21, 2025 @ 5:00 PM - Regular Monthly Meeting; August 11, 2025 @ 5:00 PM - Regular Monthly Meeting; September 8, 2025 @ 5:00 PM. - Regular Monthly Meeting; September 18, 2025 @ 10:00 AM Special Called Meeting; September 30, 2025 @ 10:00 AM Special Called Meeting; October 14, 2025 @ 9:00 AM - Regular Monthly Meeting; October 21, 2025 @ 2:00 PM - Special Called Meeting; November 10, 2025 @ 5:00 PM - Regular Monthly Meeting; December 8, 2025 @ 5:00 PM. - Regular Monthly Meeting; January 9, 2026 @ 5:00 PM - Regular Monthly Meeting; January 20, 2026 @ 5:00 PM - Special Called Meeting; February 9, 2026 @ 5:00 PM - Regular Monthly Meeting; March 5, 2026 @ 5:00 PM - Regular Monthly Meeting; April 13, 2026 @ 5:00 PM - Regular Monthly Meeting; May 11, 2026 @ 5:00 PM - Regular Monthly Meeting; and June 8, 2026 @ 5:00 PM - Regular Monthly Meeting.

The February 26 meeting date does not appear in the excerpted calendar lines above, but the site notes that "\Special meetings can be called anytime at the discretion of the Board president." That provision aligns with the district's practice of holding special-called meetings such as those on September 18, September 30, October 21 and January 20 listed in the calendar.

What remains unreported in the materials provided are the substantive outcomes: the posted agenda text for Feb. 26, roll-call votes, minutes, the names of board members or administrators who attended, and specific budget figures or personnel actions. The available report and website excerpt do not include vote counts, motions, or detailed policy revisions discussed during the livestreamed/recorded session.

Quitman School District's public meeting practices and the February 26 livestream provide the primary access points for community scrutiny. The district has March 5, 2026 @ 5:00 PM listed as the next Regular Monthly Meeting in the calendar excerpt; residents watching board actions on budgets, staffing, and policy reviews should note the QSD Board Room address at 104 East Franklin Street, Quitman, MS, and the posted 5:00 p.m. meeting time.
