School Board Meeting- 10-20-26

Putnam County School District Board meeting, October 20, 2026. The board received the district’s final annual report on its 2021–2026 strategic plan and updates on school construction and revitalization projects, including completed facilities at Palatka Intermediate and Middleton Burney Elementary, new classroom buildings and a gym in use at Crescent City Junior-Senior High School, and continuing work at Palatka Primary and Melrose Elementary. The superintendent also said the district plans to survey the former Miller Middle School site to separate about five acres of waterfront property for possible sale; the district expects to obtain a separate appraisal for that parcel. An impact-fee workshop was rescheduled to November 17.

In emergency-session business, the board approved time-sensitive items including National FFA Convention travel and school project items for Melrose Elementary and Crescent City Junior-Senior High School. The transcript identifies Parish McCall and several COP/CUA references for those project items, but does not clearly state their scope or dollar amounts. The board also approved personnel allocation changes and the consent agenda. United Way presented support for a book program providing take-home books to students from kindergarten through grade eight; no contribution amount was stated. No specific contract award amounts were identifiable in the transcript.
