Superintendent presents recommended purchases and contracts; board approves personnel matters in executive session
Summary
At the work session the superintendent presented multiple recommended purchases and renewable contracts (assessment platform, professional learning, transportation software, natural gas, lease for Rise Academy, and others) for board consideration; the board took formal action only on personnel matters discussed in executive session (Item 13 o).
Superintendent Doctor Bradley presented a slate of recommended purchases and contracts for the 2025–26 year and detailed funding sources and contract terms. Items presented included (by summary): District assessment platform (Lennexions, $92,350, 07/01/2025–06/30/2026); professional-learning services with CT3 Education ($254,820, Title II-A funds); Tyler Technologies pupil-transportation software ($127,789.89); an annual natural-gas contract for selected facilities (estimated $90,000); a commercial lease with Top Leasing LLC to house Rise Academy (estimated $105,000); Incident IQ workflow software ($39,650.22); roofing contract for STEM/Porter Performing Arts Center (Dusty Greer Roofing, $226,300); school-nutrition software (Horizon Software International, $35,960.96); kitchen-equipment maintenance (Wilson Bryant Air Conditioning, $40,000); vehicles for facilities (Covington Ford, $96,672); and a facility-use agreement for Indian Creek Middle School requested by the Newton County Sheriff—s Office and the Taylor Made Foundation for a summer youth program (06/02/2025—07/16/2025).
Bradley and staff presented purchasing documentation and identified funding sources (capital funds, SPLOST, Title II-A, school-nutrition funds) as part of the work session packet. Several items were described as using cooperative contracts managed by purchasing cooperatives (Sourcewell, TIPS).
Because this meeting was a work session, Bradley and staff characterized these entries as recommendations for board action at a future meeting. The only formal vote taken during the session was on Item 13 o: approval of personnel matters discussed in executive session. The board took a motion to approve Item 13 o; Miss Henderson Baker moved, Mister Anderson Bailey seconded, and the board voted unanimously "aye." The board previously approved the meeting agenda and minutes earlier in the session by routine motion.
No additional personnel details were disclosed publicly during the meeting; Bradley said staff will remain available to answer questions and to present any of the recommended procurement items for formal action at the appropriate business meeting.
