Union County Board of Education SPTT Committee Meeting (Oct. 28, 2026)

The Union County Board of Education SPTT Committee met on October 28, 2026. The committee reviewed a phone and paging system project costing slightly more than $2.1 million, with paging equipment from Valcom and phone services from YLink; the selected proposal was from True IP. Staff said it was not the lowest-priced bid, but was the least expensive proposal that met all RFP criteria. After a prior solution failed, the project will include a proof of concept at Central Academy of Technology and Art before broader installation. The committee voted to advance the project recommendation to the full board’s consent agenda. Funding is expected to come from savings from FY24 and FY25 capital improvement projects, pending county approval.

The committee also approved forwarding the school-choice lottery list and an earlier application timeline to the full board. A transportation update covered driver-training delays, staffing-related reductions in the number of operating buses, and route adjustments; no transportation procurement action was identified.
