Summary
The Enterprise City Schools board approved multiple maintenance and construction contracts, a technology services agreement, the personnel action list including an immediate termination, and voted to enter executive session on pending litigation. Staff said asbestos abatement will target the last two asbestos locations, contingent on a negotiated cost of $250,000 or less.
The Enterprise City Schools board on an evening voice vote approved a package of maintenance, technology and construction contracts, ratified routine personnel actions including an immediate employee termination, and voted to enter an executive session to discuss pending or threatened litigation.
An unidentified administrator who presented the agenda items (Speaker 2) asked the board to approve several recommendations drawn from the meeting packet, including the November 2025 financial reports, a concrete maintenance quote for Pinedale Elementary, and a technology quote for server backup and testing. Chair (unnamed in the transcript) led the board through motions and voice votes on each item. "It is my recommendation that you approve the maintenance quote as presented," the administrator said when introducing the Pinedale repair work.
On facilities and capital projects, staff reported four bidders for a tennis and track storage building and said White Sasser Construction Company submitted the lowest overall bid; the board approved the award. For asbestos abatement at Pinedale Elementary and Dolphin Junior High, staff reported only one bid (recorded in the transcript as White Sassford Construction) and recommended awarding the contract contingent on successful negotiation of a project cost of $250,000 or less. "These are the last 2 spots we have asbestos," the presenter said, and staff said the abatement work would occur during the summer. The board approved the contingent award by voice vote.
A single bid from Dixie Electric was recommended and approved for lighting control upgrades at Hillcrest Elementary and Enterprise High. Staff also asked the board to approve a bundled school consent agenda—covering in-state and out-of-state trip requests, a men's golf schedule update and the 2026 baseball officials contract—which the board approved as presented.
The board approved the personnel action list covering transfers, resignations and employment. Separately, the board approved the immediate termination of an employee listed in the meeting packet; the transcript does not provide the employee’s name or the reasons beyond what appears in packet materials.
Before adjourning, the chair moved and the board voted to enter an executive session to discuss pending or threatened litigation. The board attorney certified on the record that the session met the legal grounds for executive session, saying, "Mister chairman, as the board attorney, I am certifying that this is justifiable ground to go into executive session now." The chair said no further board action would be taken after returning from executive session and the meeting adjourned.
Next scheduled public meeting: Feb. 24 at 5:00 p.m. (location not specified in the transcript).
