Laurens County School District 55 - Board Meeting Sept. 28th, 2026

Laurens County School District 55 Board meeting, Sept. 28, 2026: The superintendent previewed a proposed infrastructure modernization plan, expected to be presented to the board in October, focused largely on Lawrence High School. Potential work includes HVAC upgrades, lecture-theater renovations, lighting improvements, and LED lighting at sports facilities. The district said the projects would require decisions about scope and cost, and showed its separate capital account (“512 funds”) as a possible funding source; borrowing to undertake projects was also discussed, with repayment from those funds. No project or financing was approved at this meeting.

The finance presentation reported several unbudgeted or over-budget general-fund expenses: $13,500 for an international-teacher placement service, $21,000 for the district’s share of the Time Clock Plus system, and an unspecified technology scanning expense shifted from a federal fund. These were discussed as expenses already incurred, with no additional spending approval requested. The board also approved several policies and selected its delegates to the state school board association assembly; no other procurement awards, bids, or vendor selections were identified.
