Carroll County School System Board Meeting 06/18/26

The Carroll County School System Board held a meeting on June 18, 2026, where key procurement and budget matters were discussed and approved. The board adopted the FY27 budget, which includes a 4% overall increase driven by employee benefits, step raises, and investments in literacy, mental health grants, school resource officers, and one-time expenditures on furniture, technology, and facilities. The board also approved bids for the Temple High School project, a SPLOST 7 bonded project, with a final contract amount of approximately $12.9 million, coming in $1.3 million under budget. Additionally, the board approved the covered practice facilities project across five high schools, with a guaranteed maximum price of about $29.3 million, which was nearly $1 million over the projected budget due to higher steel and electrical costs. Funding for these projects will come from bond proceeds and SPLOST pay-go funds. The board discussed project timelines, funding sources, and the management of multiple concurrent construction projects. No other procurement actions were noted.
