Vinton County Board Moves March 16 Meeting to South Elementary, 6 p.m.

The Vinton County Local Board of Education published a notice that its regular monthly meeting for March will be held Monday, March 16, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. The board will meet at South Elementary School, 38234 State Route 93, just north of Hamden, instead of at the District Office in McArthur.

The change represents both a different venue and an earlier start time. The Telegram News reported, "The regular monthly meeting for March of the Vinton County Local Board of Education will be held on Monday, March 16 at 6 p.m. at South Elementary School," and noted that the board's meetings normally begin at 6:30 p.m. The Telegram also said, "Normally, the regular monthly meetings are held on the third Monday of each month, starting at 6:30 p.m. and are held at the District Office in McArthur."

South Elementary's address is listed in the notice as 38234 State Route 93, Hamden, and both the board notice and Telegram describe the school as being "just north of Hamden." The Telegram News additionally confirmed that "The meetings are open to the public," signaling that residents may attend the March 16 meeting at the school facility.

District records show the board holds regular and frequent special meetings. The Vinton K12 meeting minutes archive lists numerous entries across recent years, including 2025 Meeting Minutes such as 01-14-2025 Regular Meeting; 01-21-2025 Work Study Meeting; 02-18-2025 Regular Meeting; 02-26-2025 Special Meeting; 03-10-2025 Regular Meeting; 03-25-2025 Special Meeting; 03-28-2025 Special Meeting; 04-06-2025 Special Meeting; 04-22-2025 Regular Meeting; 05-08-2025 Special Meeting; 05-20-2025 Regular Meeting; 05-27-2025 Special Meeting; 06-17-2025 Regular Meeting; 07-07-2025 Special Meeting; 07-22-2025 Regular Meeting; 08-05-2025 Special Meeting; 08-19-2025 Regular Meeting; 08-27-2025 Special Meeting; 09-09-2025 Special Meeting; 09-16-2025 Regular Meeting; 10-14-25 Regular Meeting; 10-20-25 Special Meeting; 11-10-25 Special Meeting; 11-18-2025 Regular Meeting; 12-16-2025 Regular Meeting, and 2023 Meeting Minutes including 01-10-2023 Organizational Meeting; 01-12-2023 Special Meeting; 02-21-2023 Regular Meeting; 03-21-2023 Regular Meeting; 04-18-2023 Regular Meeting; 05-16-2023 Regular Meeting; 06-20-2023 Regular Meeting; 07-25-2023 Regular Meeting; 08-14-2023 Regular Meeting; 09-19-2023 Regular Meeting; 10-09-2023 Work Study Meeting; 10-16-2023 Regular Meeting; 11-14-2023 Regular Meeting; and 12-11-2023 Regular Meeting.

The original board notice states the meeting date, time and South Elementary location; that notice text is truncated in one version after "rather than at t," while the Telegram copy supplies the explicit comparator, the District Office in McArthur. For official meeting minutes and past agendas, the district maintains the Vinton K12 meeting minutes archive, where residents can review previous regular and special meeting listings ahead of the March 16 session.
