RISD School Board Meeting 7/14/2026

The Roswell Independent School District held its regular school board meeting on July 14, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of the 2026-2027 student transportation service contracts with Hamel Transportation and Pollard Bus Company, with no increase in fees despite petroleum surcharges. The board also approved the 2026-2027 RISD transportation plan and a partial redemption resolution for early repayment of a portion of the district's general obligation bonds to stabilize debt service mill rates. Additionally, the board approved a fiscal year 2027 resolution authorizing the business office to submit budget adjustment requests prior to board approval, and adopted the 2026-2027 Open Meetings Act Resolution. Updates were provided on ongoing construction projects, including the Nancy Lopez building and related infrastructure improvements, with plans for a grand ribbon-cutting ceremony. The meeting also covered academic performance data, new state athletic transfer rules, and human resources updates, but no new RFPs or vendor selections were announced. The board scheduled a special working session to discuss further district changes and planning.
