PCSSD Board Meeting

The Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD) Board held a regular meeting on September 8, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on ongoing capital improvement projects such as new floors and ceiling tiles at Harris Elementary School, with assurances that construction would be completed by the Christmas break. The board also approved several personnel-related proposals impacting budget allocations, including supplemental pay indices for cheer coaches, extended contracts for select varsity coaches, and changes to substitute teacher pay rates to remain competitive with neighboring districts. Additionally, the board passed a resolution to initiate the detachment process for the Sherwood area, requesting the state to set an election date to consider forming a separate school district, a significant policy decision that could affect future district operations and resource allocations. The meeting included motions and votes approving these financial and contracting items, reflecting ongoing efforts to manage district resources and respond to community concerns.
