Board Meeting - August 10, 2026

At its August 10, 2026 meeting, the Spartanburg School District One Board of Trustees unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included the check registry, overnight field trips, meeting dates, agenda, and prior meeting minutes. The board also unanimously approved two policies on second reading and reviewed additional policies on first reading. No specific purchasing amount or check-registry details were provided, and no contract award vote was taken during the meeting.

The main procurement-related update covered the district’s three referendum construction projects: New Prospect, O.P. Earle, and Mabry. The New Prospect early-site package had been released and awarded, with earthwork expected to begin after erosion-control and county approvals; a $20 million development budget was referenced. O.P. Earle early-site bids were scheduled to be received August 27 across four bid packages, while Mabry was planned as a single package, with design completion expected in late December or early January and bidding planned for February or March. The program anticipates five construction bid packages overall; district representatives and its owner’s representative said O.P. Earle and Mabry estimates were within 5% of budget. LMG, Thompson Turner, and JM Cope were mentioned in connection with project management and construction coordination. The board entered executive session for legal advice regarding pending litigation and later confirmed no action was taken.
