Summary
The district board approved a slate of personnel actions, transfers and summer-payments from school funds and boosters, and accepted superintendent recommendations to place two students in alternative school for up to the first nine weeks of 2026–27; executive sessions covered student discipline and personnel.
The Bibb County Regular School District board approved a package of regular and consent-agenda items that included numerous hires, transfers, resignations and summer-program payments, and accepted superintendent recommendations on two student discipline cases.
Board members approved routine consent items and personnel blocks, then moved through a list of regular agenda items. The superintendent recommended and the board approved the resignation of Sharnikia Pelt (part-time CNP worker at Bibb County High School) and the resignation of Tory/Tori Pearson as assistant volleyball coach. The board approved employment and transfer recommendations including bus driver Joshua Lindsay (effective 2026–27), 12-month bookkeeper Laura Giddens (effective 08/03/2026), science teacher Kara Watkins and other certified hires, as recorded during the regular agenda.
The board also approved payments for summer programs and athletics drawn from local school funds and booster accounts: Megan Beach ($500) to provide band-camp instruction; Centerville Middle School strength-and-conditioning payments (Jameisio Ryan, $2,000; Shavarris James, $1,000; Shalanda Cannon, $1,000); and baseball-field and summer maintenance payments from BCHS boosters (Kevin May $2,800; LA Glory $1,000; Brett Leitzy $850; Matthew Hyatt $850; Justin Cottingham $850; Wes Cash $850). The board approved a $500 payment to Ashland Partridge for choreography for the dance line.
The superintendent recommended placing two students in the district's alternative school for the first nine weeks of the 2026–27 school year, with the option to return to Bibb County High School if coursework is current. The superintendent announced these as formal recommendations; a board member moved to accept each recommendation and the board approved them by voice vote. The transcript redacts or omits student names and no identifying information was provided.
