Pulaski County School Board - February 10, 20265

The Pulaski County School Board held a meeting on February 10, 2026, which included recognition of staff and students, updates on school improvement plans, and discussions on operational and financial matters. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the presentation and approval of multi-year support plans for schools designated under federal improvement programs, with funding allocations noted up to $165,500 for Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) schools and $45,150 for Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) schools. The board also reviewed financial reports indicating that revenues and expenditures were generally on track, but a temporary hold on site-based funds was implemented due to concerns about county contributions and declining state revenues. Additionally, the board discussed the potential adoption of a new fundraising management software, Givebacks, which would consolidate existing platforms, improve transparency, and reduce costs, with an upfront implementation fee of $1,500 and annual licensing fees of $300 per school. The board approved the multi-year support plans pending minor corrections and gave consent to submit nominations for the BSBA showcasing innovation award. No new contracts or vendor selections were finalized during this meeting, but the discussions and approvals indicate ongoing procurement and budget management activities related to school improvement and fundraising systems.
