The Muscogee County School District finance team reviewed grant reallocations and a series of procurement requests and renewals during the work session.
Key items included a Canvas learning management system purchase request with year‑one funding of $201,600 and an Infinite Campus student information system renewal that the presenter said would total approximately $310,184 for the year (this specific purchase line $272,684). The Department of Technology outlined a Chromebook fleet refresh for middle schools to start a broader device rotation, with funding not to exceed $1.1 million from the capital projects fund. The Division of Human Resources sought renewal of temporary staffing agreements (Lane Federal and ESS Southeast) for 2026 with a presenter estimating a not‑to‑exceed amount around $900,000 for the year.
Procurement staff also described competitively bid maintenance contracts ($47,600) for school nutrition kitchen hood suppression inspections and a purchase exception for nursing simulation mannequins ($18,854) for CTAE health care programs. Staff reported volatile commodity purchases that were processed outside the normal multi‑month bid timeline because vendors would not hold prices; copy paper purchases were reported at roughly $97,104 and fuel purchases at $72,548 for the stated period.
Board members asked about staffing vacancies in school nutrition and whether the district's financial systems support electronic payments for PTAs and school fundraisers; staff said MyPaymentsPlus is used for online payments but does not currently handle concessions and that more work would be needed for ticketing and other external electronic payments.
No formal votes were recorded at the work session; items were presented for review and, where applicable, scheduled for later board action.
