At its August 24, 2026 board meeting, Spartanburg County School District Five approved, by a 9–0 vote, Guaranteed Maximum Price No. 2 for the concrete and structural package at Sharon Grove Middle School, not to exceed $5,671,838. The package covers concrete foundations and slabs, rebar, an elevated deck and mechanical mezzanine, and structural steel; Contract Construction representatives presented it. The board also received the 2025–26 procurement report: 23 sole-source procurements and three emergency procurements, all related to the ice storm. An external procurement audit reviewed a sample of purchase orders, though the transcript does not provide its findings. Project updates noted about $800,000 in remaining contingency for Burns High School Phase 3, progress at the South Transportation Center, and early site work at Duncan Elementary School.

The board also approved policy JFAB and administrative rule JFAB-R on admitting nonresident students, including tuition requirements, possible tuition waivers for children of district employees, and parent or guardian responsibility for transportation. The meeting included a back-to-school update and executive-session matters; no other procurement awards were identified.
