CCBOE Work Session July 23 2026

The Coffee County Board of Education held a work session on July 23, 2026, focusing primarily on educational updates and financial reports. Key procurement-related discussions included the presentation of tentative financial reports for fiscal year 2026, highlighting an unbudgeted $700,000 supplement approved by the legislature. The board reviewed surplus furniture from a recent school remodel, discussing plans to dispose of outdated tables and chairs potentially through resale. Additionally, the technology director proposed a cost-saving contract for cybersecurity software, which would consolidate multiple existing products into one, reducing annual expenses from $84,000 to $43,000. This one-year contract aims to enhance cyber protection while saving nearly $40,000 annually. The board planned to place these procurement items on the consent agenda for approval at the next regular meeting. No formal votes were recorded during this session, but motions to approve these items were anticipated.
