The Morgan County Schools held a work session on July 9, 2026, focusing primarily on updates regarding multiple ongoing construction and capital improvement projects at various high schools, including Priceville, Brewer, Fossil, and West Morgan High Schools. Detailed progress reports were given on athletic facilities such as baseball and softball fields, parking lots, paving, and concession stands, with specific contract completion dates and budget statuses noted. For example, Priceville High School has nearly $300,000 remaining in funds, Brewer High School is on budget with a $20 million contract, and Fossil High School is under budget and ahead of schedule. The West Morgan High School project has a contract completion date set for March 13, 2027, with athletic complexes expected to be completed by Thanksgiving 2026. Additionally, the board discussed legislative updates impacting funding, including full funding for transportation and increases in special education and gifted program funds, as well as anticipated decreases in some supplemental and technology funding in future years. A potential land acquisition related to Fall Branch High School parking expansion was also mentioned, with an agreement under consideration. No formal votes or motions were recorded in the transcript, but several action items related to project completions and funding allocations were discussed.
