The Murray County Schools Board held a work session and regular board meeting on March 9, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a purchase order for approximately $56,519 to install Bluetooth-enabled door locks at Murray County High School, funded by a $5.8 million bond. These locks allow remote locking/unlocking via phone within proximity and have a five-year warranty. The board also approved revisions to the FY26 bond resolution extending the timeframe for financial reporting. Financial reports showed strong revenue deposits and a surplus compared to projections, with efforts ongoing to close out purchase orders by June 30. Additionally, a purchase order for Gladen Middle School funded by a generous donation was approved. The board approved all purchase orders and financial statements presented. Other topics included policy updates, student recognitions, and operational issues, but no other procurement actions were noted.
