White County School Board Meeting 8/13/2026

The White County School Board held a meeting on August 13, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. Key procurement matters included a report from CMTA, a nationally recognized MEP design firm, which conducted a comprehensive energy audit of the district's facilities. The audit identified energy savings opportunities and deferred maintenance needs, with recommendations for future projects such as HVAC system upgrades and LED lighting improvements. The board discussed the potential for additional services from CMTA under an existing RFQ, emphasizing flexibility in project scope and budgeting. Additionally, the board approved plats to deed school property to the county for fire department use, formalizing a nearly 50-year-old agreement to support countywide fire protection infrastructure. The board also approved the fiscal year 2027 Title IX McKinney-Vento budget of approximately $94,000 to support homeless students. A new policy was adopted to prominently display foundational historical documents in schools, reflecting a policy decision with cultural and educational implications. Several personnel recognitions and updates on school activities and safety measures were also provided, but no other direct procurement actions were noted.
