CMSD Regular Board Meeting - 10/12/2026

The Columbus Municipal School District Board of Trustees held its regular meeting on October 12, 2026. The board unanimously approved Change Order 01 10C01 for $7,000 to reroute existing water and gas lines at the Stokes-Beard gymnasium shelter project, allowing construction to proceed. The facilities update also covered completed work at Sales and Cook Elementary, ongoing project closeout at Cook Elementary, and design and construction planning for several other district facilities. Staff reported some remaining HVAC and electrical issues at school sites, including a unit replacement requiring board approval, but no approval for that replacement is recorded in the transcript.

The board also approved a change order for Gregory Company LLC’s Hunt Intermediate School parking-lot improvements and unanimously approved a final payment of $19,632.78 to the company for that work; the change-order amount is not clear in the transcript. Several FY2026 budget and financial items, including budget amendments and a reserve-fund-balance transfer request, were approved. The board also approved personnel items and an agenda of agreements, contracts, memoranda of understanding, travel, field trips, and student transfers, though details are not legible in the transcript.
