Sherry McDade was elected president of the Mobile County Public School Board for the 2526 school year after a motion by Mister Stringfellow was seconded and carried by voice vote. McDade thanked colleagues, praised Superintendent Dr. Bracken and took the chair to lead the rest of the regular meeting.

The board approved multiple grouped action items and contracts. The superintendent recommended Stifel and Piper be selected as underwriters for an upcoming bond refunding (action item G-1); the board approved action items G-1 through G-15 collectively after vetting. The board also approved action items G-16 through G-30, including acceptance of $10,000 from the Mobile County Commission designated for an athletic program (named in the transcript as "Palmer Pilanes").

On construction-related items, the board approved the low bid for the Baker High School fieldhouse upgrade, awarding the contract to Youngblood and Baird Construction for $349,985. The board also approved a $190,000 contract to Tyndall Construction for new bleachers at Alba Middle School. These awards were presented by the superintendent as the recommended lowest bidders and were adopted by voice vote.

The board approved a consent agenda that included 27 items. Notable consent purchases included a one-year, schoolwide EdPuzzle classroom support subscription paid from state funds for $4,940. The board approved flow-through items for private and parochial schools (items 1–12) and received information items including monthly financials and purchase orders over $5,000 for review.

The board attorney reported 12 plumbing agreements submitted to the board on various dates for administrative processing. Board members also discussed scheduling employee and student hearings and potential consolidation of those hearings into single dates in December to streamline proceedings. The meeting concluded after a voice vote to adjourn.

The board provided recognition for Mister Don Payne for his service, and members discussed local athletics — including a large semifinal football game at Ladd Stadium and plans to host statewide swim events using the local aquatic center. A speaker referenced that a total of approximately $500,000 had been sent to the Aquatic Center (stated as an estimate in the transcript).
