The Glynn County Board of Education made significant strides during its April 2025 meeting, approving a substantial $3,057,994.63 budget for a computer refresh aimed at enhancing technology in local high schools. This decision comes as part of an ongoing effort to keep pace with the increasing demand for Chromebooks and other digital resources in educational settings. Board members discussed the necessity of regular technology updates, noting that while some years may see heavier purchasing, the trend is likely to continue annually to ensure students have access to the latest tools.

In addition to the technology budget, the board addressed the upcoming appointment of a new District 5 school board member to replace the outgoing Miss Gibbons. Three candidates—Brad Brown, Reggie Jackson, and Mary Ann Stonefield—were highlighted for their qualifications and potential contributions to the board. The board plans to conduct interviews with these candidates on April 25, 2025, following a training session, with the intention of making a final decision in May. These interviews will be open to the public, allowing community members to engage in the selection process.

The meeting also recognized Lauren Moody, a student who received accolades for her achievements, underscoring the board's commitment to celebrating student success alongside administrative decisions.

Overall, the meeting reflected the board's proactive approach to both technology integration in education and governance, setting the stage for continued improvements in Glynn County schools.
