8/10/2026 Work Session & Regular Board Meeting

The Murray County Schools Board held a work session and regular board meeting on August 10, 2026, focusing on several procurement and budget-related topics. Key discussions included approval of a capital outlay application for facility projects such as a gym roof retrofit at Chadzsworth Elementary, with an estimated cost of around $900,000 and partial funding from capital outlay funds. The board also reviewed the district's financial status, noting a budget deficit primarily due to employee bonuses and increased energy costs, and approved a budget amendment to align expenditures and revenues. Additionally, the board approved a purchase order related to construction work funded through the construction fund, not the general budget. Other procurement-related actions included approval of a field trip and updates to board policies affecting workforce quality and school admissions in compliance with state law changes. Motions to approve the capital outlay application, purchase order, budget amendment, and tribunal schedule were passed during the meeting.
