Cowell said all five high schools received at least one Advanced Placement award, and he highlighted Mary Lois Griffith as a state literary contest champion and district star student. He also noted Mount Zion High School won its regional division championship in literary competition. In technology competitions, Cowell reported a state champion from Central Middle School (Hudson Hooten) and from Mount Zion High School (Gavin Vick). He said, \"We had from Central, Middle School, a state champion in, Hudson Hooten. And from Mount Zion High School, we had Gavin Vick.\"

Cowell also told the board that Bentley Burke of Central High School became the district's first ever female state wrestling champion. He highlighted Bowden High School’s weightlifting team winning a sixth consecutive Class A state championship and several regional championships and state-level finishes in basketball and wrestling across the district.

The superintendent announced upcoming events including a Veil Rica Middle School 20th anniversary celebration (a drop-in event around noon on Saturday) and said the district would circulate graduation dates soon. He reminded the board the state testing window follows spring break and encouraged continued teacher preparation for testing.

The recognitions were presented earlier in the meeting by Jared Griffiths and others; coaches, students and staff accepted awards in person.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","March 20, 2025 Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Superintendent Scott Cowell reported multiple student and staff recognitions at the March meeting, including AP awards at all five high schools, state-level champions in literary and technology competitions, and Bentley Burke becoming the district's first female state wrestling champion.","taxTitle","Carroll County, School Districts, Georgia","taxId",15314,"location","Georgia","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6115840,"Votes at a glance: Carroll County board approves agenda, adds Sharp Creek field trip, authorizes executive session and approves personnel actions",578,1530000,2108000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2735927-5690656aabea9d26e3f3f266d0f2acfc&start=1530&end=2108","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2735927-5690656aabea9d26e3f3f266d0f2acfc/thumbnail_1530000.jpg","/articles/6115840/Georgia/Votes-at-a-glance-Carroll-County-board-approves-agenda-adds-Sharp-Creek-field-trip-authorizes-executive-session-and-approves-personnel-actions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6115840-07140a5b57391b4e9ffdad8e14bd1df4/orig.mp4?Expires=1776626273&Signature=kFYaTbEcr9DcFxRbYakJJWft2L-jnnRzmuHCSl3iqmhFyNhO-YYbK1ywbOIboc6GuZ4rAK1Z42nN-UKtupco4eBe785ADOH-ULIzTQGJOb1BoqA2NMKW0cfjpk9KH~kijFOCjaeF0ZCmxjKf8mtOo--OKd8jFLS5efK3V8-36El82M7s4VLKqW6HG6~73jACobAz8--R6YfP28SC0RjD9DdeK53Ld92AwMCDMeWcM~oY475ubjy4YJSElX1xNnUh6Is7qDLhRI60of~4PrrF5g0a1tez4REjEkXJsIMCTYxUZStwcBXqNMv3kl0wBbJZQ-xo4fIR~KVjv8~SX0CQuw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its March meeting the Carroll County Board of Education took several routine actions: it approved the meeting agenda, amended the consent agenda to add a Sharp Creek Elementary overnight field trip, approved the consent agenda as amended, authorized an executive session to discuss specific exempt matters, and approved personnel actions after the executive session.

Board members moved and seconded the motion to amend the consent agenda to include a Sharp Creek Elementary field trip that staff clarified is an overnight trip and not out of state. “It’s actually, overnight. Overnight. That’s okay. To quote so it’s not out of state. It’s overnight,” a board member clarified during discussion. The board then approved the amended consent agenda.

Later the superintendent recommended the board meet in executive session “to discuss the future acquisition of real estate safety and security personnel pending or threatened litigation and recommendations that are exempt from disclosure under the Open Records Act,” language offered by the chair. A motion to enter executive session was made and seconded and carried by voice vote; Ms. Sandra Morris was recorded as voting in favor. After returning from executive session the board approved personnel actions as presented by the superintendent; a motion and second carried and Ms. Morris again indicated “Yes.”

The meeting closed with routine board comments and adjournment. One board member noted the group would attempt to re-take a missed photo at the April meeting.","The Carroll County Board of Education approved the meeting agenda, amended the consent agenda to include a Sharp Creek Elementary overnight field trip, approved the consent agenda, voted to enter executive session to discuss real estate, safety/security personnel and litigation, and later approved personnel actions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6115844,"Carroll County board approves 12-month natural gas contract with Gas South at $0.71 per therm",68,1461000,1529000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2735927-5690656aabea9d26e3f3f266d0f2acfc&start=1461&end=1529","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2735927-5690656aabea9d26e3f3f266d0f2acfc/thumbnail_1461000.jpg","/articles/6115844/Georgia/Carroll-County-board-approves-12-month-natural-gas-contract-with-Gas-South-at-071-per-therm","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6115844-c5f4c2bf6f9c85931d5aaea10908c963/orig.mp4?Expires=1776626273&Signature=hrqbZvnNFG3s5IYDhoQwFEvL0F--jcdv1Vp7Fb~JN9PidvvMHCNkWcOeSvtnTrmqVv2oAmc8j5QxihtS~JXedY4kcNf7djqrRbMg2j~DXCM4LJfglnxQNZ1AoBmLhnQsdQ1apCCDOjZZzb0hhuViBqiof7jbcjIs27Yae1Mr~LopQSDOF5JeDzSnW11HthlneVxxriN4Bsi3KDiWvtsS5~GmZz9Q~GWyziVHUd-a4LRXCAKgRoI0BDRirDBhmXl-nfTkX~SKr3cMQM2FUyj4LZ9Xy3ikSkBqI8VkZ4GRihvk74JCLiWT~nKUGQLpSY518VapqUbayjklIRp~C9kk-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carroll County Board of Education voted at its March meeting to award a 12-month natural gas supply contract to Gas South, the district’s current provider, after staff reported Gas South submitted the low bid.

The recommendation came after the district solicited five bids for natural gas. “Gas South was our low bid at 0.71 price per therm for the next 12 months,” said Mr. Harden, a staff member who presented the procurement results. He told the board the district recommends contracting with Gas South at that price for the coming 12 months.

Dr. Brooks asked whether the district had used Gas South previously; Harden responded, “Yes. Our current provider.” A board member moved to accept the Gas South bid and another board member seconded the motion. The motion carried; Ms. Sandra Morris verbally indicated “Yes” during the voice vote.

The board did not record a roll-call tally in the meeting minutes excerpt provided; the motion was passed and the contract was described as a 12-month supply agreement at $0.71 per therm. The solicitation was reported to have closed March 3 and included five bids in total.

The board did not discuss further contract terms such as start date, contract administrator, or cost cap language during the public portion of the meeting.","At its March meeting the Carroll County Board of Education voted to award a 12-month natural gas supply contract to Gas South, the district’s current provider, after receiving five bids; the low offer was $0.71 per therm.","actionData","errors"]
