Noble school board met Monday to consider superintendent hire, facilities leases

NOBLE - The Noble school board met Monday to consider hiring a superintendent and approving lease agreements with the Cleveland County Educational Facilities Authority, according to the official Nov. 9 meeting packet posted on the district's Assemble Meetings portal. The packet, labeled as minutes of the 5:30 p.m. regular meeting at the Administration Building, 111 S. 4th Street, lists board members Wendy Barnes, William Broom, James Reed and Randy Sheppard as present and Leroy Lukinbill as absent. It does not record vote results or whether the board hired a superintendent.

A November resignation and retirement report in the same packet lists Superintendent Frank Solomon as retiring June 30, 2027. The new-hire report lists one certified superintendent position with a start date of July 1, 2027, but does not name a candidate.

The board's next regular meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Dec. 14 at the same location, according to the district's 2026 notice of regular board meetings.
