Pulaski County School Board - July 14, 2026

The Pulaski County School Board held a meeting on July 14, 2026, where key procurement and budget-related discussions took place. The board discussed the potential implementation of a 1% sales tax dedicated to capital improvements for the school system, with an estimated $5 million annual revenue to address approximately $30 million in capital needs. The board agreed to move this proposal forward to the Pulaski County Board of Supervisors for consideration to place on the November ballot. Additionally, the board approved policy updates, salary increases averaging 3%, and an additional appropriation request related to carryover funds. They also discussed governance and fiscal agent responsibilities for the New Valley Governor's School, including bylaws and budget considerations. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed, but the sales tax proposal and budget appropriations indicate forthcoming procurement opportunities for capital projects.
