CCBOE Work Session June 25 2026

The Coffee County Board of Education held a work session on June 25, 2026, primarily focused on school updates, student performance data, and procurement decisions related to school operations. The board reviewed academic progress and attendance improvements following disruptions caused by Hurricane Hela. Financial reports were presented, highlighting revenues, expenditures, and grant adjustments totaling over $1.1 million. Several procurement actions were discussed and approved, including the purchase of science textbooks for grades 6-8 and awarding bids for school nutrition supplies such as paper chemicals, milk, bread, and grocery feed. The board selected vendors based on completeness of bids, local vendor preference, and product quality, with Williams chosen for paper chemicals and grocery feed, Flowers for fresh bread, and approval to continue a piggyback chemical contract with Lounge County. Additionally, the board approved a partnership with Coastal Plains for a graduation program and an addendum to an ESS employee contract to expand weekly pay options. A long-term disability insurance benefit for classified employees was also approved. Minor policy updates aligning with federal guidelines were noted, and an executive session was held to discuss personnel matters.
