At the November 10, 2026, City Schools of Decatur Board of Education meeting, the board approved its contract consent agenda, including an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system contract after staff reported completing the procurement and evaluation process and identifying a recommended vendor; the vendor name and contract amount were not stated in the transcript. A Russell Landscape amendment was also discussed among the contract items. The board separately approved, 5–0, a FY2027 budget amendment: the general-fund changes were net-zero and funded employee bonuses through a reallocation, while the E-SPLOST 6 amendment approved capital-project fund revenues only. Staff reported a one-time reconciliation of about $9.05 million in E-SPLOST 6 funds and a revised projected year-end capital fund balance of about $3.3 million. The board deferred the proposed Wilson Moore and Downs legal-services contract while a legal-services RFP remains under consideration; no legal-services award was made. Counsel said the district’s purchasing policy exempts legal services from competitive bidding and that the RFP may be delayed or restarted, including by rejecting all proposals. The board also discussed the FY2028 budget draft, including facilities maintenance, staffing, and financial transparency; revisions are expected for a November 17 retreat.

The board approved several policy items and received presentations on enrollment, state funding, FY2026 unaudited results, and the monthly financial report. The FY2028 budget parameters and priorities remained in development, with final approval scheduled for December 8. The board also approved an interim superintendent employment contract; no compensation amount was given. The transcript does not identify the ERP vendor or the amounts of the ERP and landscape contracts.
