Pulaski County Special School District PCSSD Live Stream

The Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD) held a school board meeting on December 10, 2025, covering a range of topics including academic performance updates, budget and tax collection reports, construction and infrastructure concerns, and personnel matters. Significant procurement-related discussions included updates on wastewater system repairs with estimated costs between $600,000 and $800,000 per facility, and the upcoming community meeting on the district's six-year master plan. The board also discussed the potential for competitive bidding on bus routing software to possibly reduce costs. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved the adoption of a new secondary core math curriculum (IM360) for grades 6 through Algebra 2, noting that the curriculum itself is free but there will be costs for consumables and professional development. Personnel actions included approval of amendments to the shared sick leave policy and several waiver and expulsion hearings, including the termination of an employee related to a workers' compensation claim dispute. The board approved a $35,000 settlement related to a legal case. Policy discussions included proposed changes to honor graduate recognition criteria, with plans to revisit the topic in January to gather community feedback before final approval.
