The Nash County Board of Education voted by voice to accept a series of school donations and grants, approve the superintendent's personnel report and two field trips, and set upcoming meeting dates.

Superintendent Dr. Ellis presented donations and grants for board acceptance: an anonymous $100 donation to Nida (curriculum night), $1,500 from Braswell Family Farm to Nashville Elementary for a scoreboard, a $3,000 Wake Electric classroom technology grant to Deidra Hunter at Inglewood Elementary, a $1,250 grant from the North Carolina Aquarium to Bailey Elementary for a first-grade field trip, and a $3,500 donation from the De Leon Carter Foundation to Red Oak Elementary to purchase 12 Fire tablets and two digital cameras for arts programs. The board accepted those donations by motion (moved by Dr. Chavis; seconded by Dr. Washington) and approved the motion by voice vote.

The superintendent also presented the personnel report for board approval. The board moved and seconded approval (mover/second not clearly specified in the record) and approved it by voice vote.

Academic Services presented two field-trip requests brought by Mr. White. The board approved those trips after a motion by Dr. Washington, second by Mr. Bussey, and a voice vote in favor.

Committee reports included an Administrative Services update noting a project in final design with an opening still scheduled for 2027 and Student Support updates covering transportation, the SRO program, and an Infinite Campus update. Dr. Ellis announced that school improvement plans were posted online for a 30-day public feedback period, noted observances including Native American Heritage Month and Career Development Month, thanked the CTE program for providing the meal, and reminded the public of upcoming events including a preschool community cafe on Nov. 10 and a teacher optional workday on Nov. 26. The board set its next regular meeting for Monday, Nov. 24, and a work session for Dec. 4.

Board procedural motions (adopt agenda, approve minutes, accept donations, accept personnel report, accept field trips, adjourn) were all approved by voice vote; the meeting record indicates unanimous "aye" responses at each voice vote but does not provide a roll-call tally.
