PCSSD Board Meeting

The Pulaski County Special School District Board meeting on November 11, 2026, included several procurement and facilities actions. The board approved a $121,981 purchase of equipment for audio recording in 85 locker rooms to meet Eli’s Law requirements; the cost will come from operating funds, with district staff handling installation. It also approved a 26-foot district delivery truck from Rtech (the vendor name is unclear in the transcript) for $115,000, after discussion of the district’s roughly $2,700 monthly rental cost. The board authorized staff to seek bids for 12 purchased modular classrooms at the Driven campus; this was approval to solicit bids, not to award a contract. Construction updates for three school projects were reported as on schedule and on budget. The six-year facilities plan was approved for submission to the state, and the consent agenda—which included renewal of an SRO agreement—was approved.

The board also approved an amendment to Policy 7.10 barring political or religious use of district-built facilities, while retaining community facility rentals under the district’s process. It approved the proposed expenditure budget and ballot language for the 2027 annual school election, described as maintaining the current 40.7-mill rate. A public commenter raised concerns about insurance and business-license documentation in a vendor process; the board took no action during public comment and referred the matter to district administration for follow-up. The meeting also included school achievement updates and recognitions; no other procurement awards were identified.
