10-13-2026 PSD Board Meeting - Regular Session

The Polk School District Board’s regular meeting on October 13, 2026, included several spending and facilities approvals. The board approved a $22,677.81 RHS tilting skillet purchase from Culinary Depot and $55,290 for Cedartown Middle School athletic lockers from Hodgej Company. It also approved roof repairs by Ben Hill Roofing: $21,750 for the North Side modular building and $85,000 for Cedartown Middle School. The board approved $60,000 for Rockmart High School paving materials, with the county providing labor and hauling at no cost. The board also approved the August financial report, a rate proposal as presented, and technology equipment discards. A school nutrition uniform bid extension was introduced, but the transcript does not capture its approval or terms clearly.

Board members discussed continuing the existing one-cent SPLOST and expressed support for proceeding toward a March 2027 vote; they favored paying for projects as funds become available rather than issuing bonds. This was discussion and apparent consensus, not a recorded formal vote. The superintendent also outlined work on the district’s next five-year strategic plan and reported on a special-education transition-skills curriculum pilot. The board approved several overnight student field trips and adjourned without an executive session.
