The 30-second brief
37 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Watauga County Schools's meetings, most in education & training and capital projects. The latest, from Oct 13: At the September 25, 2026 meeting, the board was told part of the chain-link fence at Watauga High School was buried and should be replaced to make the turf installation easier. The cost was to be split between Watauga County Schools and Watauga High School, and another company was to be subcontracted for the fence work. That creates a near-term facilities and fencing follow-on opportunity around the turf project.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Education & Training and Information Technology.
