Board hears finance and enrollment reports, accepts grant proposals and approves personnel item by voice vote
Summary
Sarah Robinson reported early FY26 revenues and a $14.9M fund balance; the board reviewed grant awards and contracts including $1.645M for after-school programs and renewed a sprinkler contract; the board approved personnel matters (item 13e) by voice vote with Miss Anderson Baker moving and Mister Eddie Johnson seconding.
The board reviewed month-end finance and enrollment reports, considered several new-business recommendations, and voted to approve personnel matters discussed in executive session.
Sarah Robinson presented the finance report for the month ending Aug. 31, 2025. Robinson said July fund revenue for FY26 to date stood at just over $5,100,000, representing 2.12% of total budget revenues, and that the district had utilized 17.34% of its budget year to date (approximately $45,900,000). She reported a beginning fund balance of $55,700,000 and a current fund balance of approximately $14,900,000. Robinson also summarized capital projects receipts (noting $2,071,089 in capital proceeds for the period) and spending in capital and special revenue funds.
On enrollment, the board heard from Sabrina Rountree that total district enrollment as of Sept. 2, 2025, stood at 18,374 students.
Under new business the superintendent recommended acceptance of several items for board review: (13a) five grants totaling $1,645,000 to fund after-school programs serving 680 students across 13 schools (including Alcovy and Eastside High School, Clements, Cousins, Indian Creek and others); (13b) approval of a contract to provide nonacademic-barrier supports at identified schools; (13c) renewal of an annual contract for fire-sprinkler repair services with AECOM Fire Solutions of Stockbridge, Georgia, with an estimated contract value of $75,000 for a one-year term; and (13d) the declaration of identified items as surplus per board policy. Documentation and funding sources were provided for these items for review.
When the board took action on item 13e (personnel matters discussed in executive session), the chair asked for a motion. The transcript records the chair naming Miss Anderson Baker as mover and Mister Eddie Johnson as second; the chair recorded the voice vote in favor with members answering "aye," and declared "Motion carries." The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or list individual yes/no votes.
No additional board action was taken on the other items during the work session; administrators said documentation and funding sources were available for board review.
