Carroll County School System Board Meeting 07/20/26

The Carroll County School System Board held a work session on July 20, 2026, focusing on educational updates, community partnerships, and financial matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the recommendation to place several Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) on the consent agenda, such as continued behavioral and mental health support from Tanner Willerbrook at no cost, partnership with 12 for Life and Southwire, and agreements with West Georgia Regional Library for extension services and student access to library resources. The board also received updates on capital improvement projects at Mountain Zion Middle School, Temple Middle School, and Landrum Elementary School, with ongoing construction and facility enhancements funded through SPLOST 7 bond proceeds. Financial reports highlighted general fund revenues and expenditures, SPLOST collections, and the tax digest with millage rate considerations. The board discussed tentative adoption of the millage rate to support budget increases, including a proposed 1% local supplement raise for certified employees and a 2% raise for classified staff, aiming to maintain competitive compensation. A motion was made and seconded to approve the sale of two acres of district property for $500,000 plus closing costs, authorizing the superintendent to execute necessary documents. The meeting concluded with scheduling a follow-up session to adopt the final millage rate and adjournment.
