Chilton County Board Meeting 5/18/26 2:30 PM

The Chilton County School District Board held a meeting on May 18, 2026, where they reviewed and approved the financial report for April 2026, noting revenues at 60.01% and expenditures at 47.17% of the budget, with reserves totaling approximately 10 months including CDs valued at $19 million. The board approved budget amendments and personnel matters including new hires, retirements, and transfers. Significant procurement discussions included approval of maintenance invoices, facility rentals, and lease agreements. The board also approved a bid for the CCIC Masquerading project and ceiling work at Clinton, with one abstention noted. Additionally, the superintendent reported on summer repair projects, including large painting jobs that came in under the $100,000 bidding threshold, thus requiring board approval but not formal bidding. The board discussed the upcoming career tech center project, with plans to open bids in August for the 127,500 square foot facility near Jeff State Community College. Finally, the board addressed procedures for conducting confidential interviews for the Chief School Financial Officer position, limiting board member participation to three to protect candidate privacy.
