The discussion matters because the Perkins program provides federal funding for career and technical education, and the district is requesting local matching funds to enhance, not replace, equipment used in CTE programs. Ainsworth said the local match has already been allocated in the budget presented to the board and asked that the match be placed on the consent agenda for approval.

Ainsworth highlighted student achievements: she said, \"This year, very proud to report that we had 5 12 seniors graduate this year career ready with a industry certification under their belt ... That's almost 50% of our high school graduating class.\" She also reported that 18 students earned state FFA degrees, a CTI group at CCA South won first in state in engineering, the Forestry Field Day team at Central Middle School won first in state for the first time, and a team of HOSA healthcare students was scheduled to travel to Nashville for national competition the following week. Clanton and Ainsworth said recent facility improvements helped expand program capacity, including two new labs at North College and Career and renovated and added labs in law/public safety and early childhood programs.

Ainsworth and Clanton asked the board to vote to place the Perkins local-match item on the consent agenda for Thursday; they said staff would be available to answer questions at that meeting. No formal board vote on the Perkins local match was taken at the June 16 meeting; it was a request to place the item on the consent agenda and the local match was described as already budgeted.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 16, 2025 Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","District leaders reported Career and Technical Education successes, described planned equipment-enhancement funds from Perkins, and requested the board include the local match on Thursday's consent agenda; the match is already allocated in the proposed budget.","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},6196208,"Carroll County Schools report rising work orders, pilot new work-order integration and completed construction projects",633,483000,1116000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3857728-427d702db0f9379e775bf87d57f7f472&start=483&end=1116","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3857728-427d702db0f9379e775bf87d57f7f472/thumbnail_483000.jpg","/articles/6196208/Georgia/Carroll-County-Schools-report-rising-work-orders-pilot-new-work-order-integration-and-completed-construction-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6196208-2a8fd736e4c478d65560578f90589592/orig.mp4?Expires=1775403613&Signature=aqN~Ksr4eeUlkuADbW1jzUmUOcFORN1N-V9xaCd5uSyL~4Va0rqfBFpOI0ZVWbBv-FkXZWNM~WArdRMEtJ9ij0bSodFkhMJ2JuOhr~BFeMMPPG6nbj9H9rGPmp0O2spKd1iotLbu9-NvdmfjR5wqxNqdNGD2UvFmbej5YcCY~X9Rx376z8UqsVZcgcfq~LTWhM1MXDYRpWLMaVq2Ww0-bEENC728163Xlvh~-ZMLKeb-zjZMX3g-ZAiQRwD1OuquyWQaS1Gl~G8~CQszaJSOvA8wS7yuk1w~qP474SH6By2olp8e01uOcI2~YR0OD4mtzoRl9tCU9KSjHTF7QQ4D7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Glenn Harding, organizational excellence presenter for Carroll County Schools, and Mike Beers, maintenance and facilities lead, updated the board on June 16 on construction, maintenance and custodial services across the district.

The update matters because the district manages roughly 2.8 million square feet of building space and relies on maintenance operations to keep schools open and safe. Beers said the system logged about a 10% increase in total work orders over the prior year—\"about nearly 700 or 800\" additional requests—and credited the increase in part to a new on-site point-person program that he called school facility leads.

Beers described the facility-leads approach as designating a single on-site point of contact at each school to be the primary communicator with the maintenance department. He said the district now holds quarterly Zoom meetings with each cluster's facility leads and that the change has strengthened communication and relationships. Beers also said the district covers about \"2.7, 2,800,000 square feet\" and currently has about 20–26 maintenance staff on the ground, roughly 100,000 square feet per technician.

Harding reviewed recently completed projects, including two program classrooms at North College and Career Academy (North CCA), a cafeteria expansion and three-classroom addition and science-wing renovation at Villa Rica High School, a major media-center renovation at Bay Springs, a cafeteria expansion and four-classroom addition at Central High School, and renovations at other sites. He reported that Mount Zion High School and Central Middle School both passed 80% fire-marshall inspections and are on track for opening day.

On custodial services, board discussion noted that the district outsources custodial work and continues to review cost trade-offs. A board member said the district's annual analysis shows outsourced custodial services remain less costly than bringing custodians in-house at present. Beers said the custodial contractor's monthly ratings were about 4 out of 5 and principals report satisfaction with performance.

Beers told the board the maintenance department is exploring a pilot of a new work-order system that integrates with SchoolDock (the district safety/workflow system schools use) and aims to pilot it this summer with trades and maintenance workers, with a broader rollout starting on day one of the school year in August.

Board members asked about preventive maintenance scheduling (Beers said HVAC filters are changed quarterly and other preventive tasks vary by trade and staffing), the balance between contracted services and in-house staff, and whether the district should consider adding trades staff permanently to reduce contractors. Beers said staffing needs peak during HVAC startup and heating seasons and that the department will present staffing proposals in the future.

No formal board action was taken on staffing or contracting during the update; several items will be returned for future consideration.","Maintenance reported a roughly 10% increase in work orders, a new school facility lead model to improve communications, several completed renovations and a pilot of a SchoolDock work-order integration for August rollout.",{"_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},6196214,"Carroll County Schools present balanced $205 million general fund, low reserve levels noted",499,1622000,2121000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3857728-427d702db0f9379e775bf87d57f7f472&start=1622&end=2121","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3857728-427d702db0f9379e775bf87d57f7f472/thumbnail_1622000.jpg","/articles/6196214/Georgia/Carroll-County-Schools-present-balanced-205-million-general-fund-low-reserve-levels-noted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6196214-11916809b6f32194d1436ab08fdf86cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1775403613&Signature=epWWNxF7ImbFmc9Kn4tW7dWNixEhMMJTAybxVuqPtoc8WiVR0XDo1yIP1ZEYOH~W~c9cyRAF~gpoS8mYFvQCCb3BQJ2c8ae2CMS5Wc~aUOX8uL~VcbNuhmkVRj82xLRvCfKwuGsWke~PZrU-bd-R~RMo1ag~eKYYAlpfxo7RxT5zwdaLxgZyNgn1cMyV0-6oE3MWRfX1v4wEDq75AAMVHOgdtB1P0A-zmEqGbhA~9Itu-fkeARBT-3-CK74tTn1Gex-PU60bjoLmwRtgmTxrOY3-ohlp3nmUth1wVNkE-YWrEQKiLue92zGmwCkW8RBuRTDTSXHq7NsBimZGOcZHyA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Deline Wolf, financial presenter for Carroll County Schools, told the board on June 16 that April general-fund revenues were $14,400,000 and expenditures were $16,700,000, leaving an adjusted ending fund balance of $49,400,000 and $2,500,000 in outstanding encumbrances. She asked the board to consider adopting a balanced general fund budget of $205,000,000 at the scheduled meeting on Thursday, June 19.

The budget matters because it funds classroom instruction, operations and staff pay across the district. Wolf said the draft budget remains largely unchanged from the tentatively adopted version and that public notices were published and the full budget is available on the district website and eBoard.

Wolf told the board that the primary driver of expenditure increases is higher employee benefit costs, accounting for roughly $5,000,000 of the increase, about half of which the state is expected to cover. She estimated the district would close the fiscal year with an ending fund balance near $29,000,000. Wolf also said the district has a lean reserve—less than two months of operating expenses—and that this level is below the Georgia statewide average and below many neighboring districts.

The presentation showed that the general fund supports more than 16,000 students across 23 schools, with 68% of the budget dedicated to direct instruction and 86% of the general fund made up of personnel costs (salaries and benefits). Wolf noted that the board has reduced the millage rate six times in the past 13 years, including the last three consecutive years.

Board members asked how the public could access the budget; Wolf said it is posted on the district website under the business department and on eBoard. The board scheduled a public hearing and possible adoption on Thursday, June 19.

No formal vote on adoption occurred during the June 16 meeting; the presentation was a preparatory step in the statutory budget-adoption process.","Finance staff reported an April operating shortfall but presented a balanced $205 million general fund budget for 2025–26 and recommended adoption at the board meeting on Thursday; district reserves remain below regional averages.","actionData","errors"]
