The Paulding County Board of Education moved through routine and action items at its Jan. 14 work session, approving the agenda and minutes, electing officers, ratifying several contracts and approving personnel actions.
Key formal actions and outcomes reported by the board included unanimous votes on procedure items and contract awards, and an approval of personnel with a recorded tally. The board chair opened the meeting and called for votes on the agenda and prior minutes; both were approved unanimously.
Elections and appointments: the board reappointed its chair and elected Jeff Fuller as vice chair (board announcements recorded unanimous approval), and retained the district’s legal counsel (Tyler Richardson and Tom Cable) by unanimous vote.
Policy and calendar: the board approved its 2025 board meeting dates and adopted board norms and protocols required by GSBA; both measures passed unanimously.
Contracts and consent agenda: the consent agenda (two items) — an award for cafeteria tables to Ernie Morris and an architectural contract for South Paulding High School with Robertson Lofta Roof (subject to legal review) — passed unanimously. The board separately approved a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) construction contract for renovations at Poole Elementary (Smith Built Construction Group of Alpharetta) subject to legal review; that motion passed unanimously. An AIA construction contract and GMP for Moses Middle School were presented and scheduled for the Jan. 28 meeting (GMP amount presented: $7,369,713) but not voted on Jan. 14.
Personnel: after executive session the board approved personnel items (items 1–19 and 21–61) by motion; the superintendent reported the vote passed with five yes votes and two members absent.
Community action: the board approved naming Paulding County High School’s auditorium in honor of Dr. Ronnie Davis; the motion passed unanimously. Several other routine approvals (meeting dates and norms, consent agenda and contract awards) were recorded as unanimous votes.
Ending: The board scheduled follow‑up approvals and contract ratifications for the Jan. 28 regular meeting when required items (including the Moses Middle School GMP) will be on the agenda.
