# CCSD Board of Education Work Session and Meeting - 10/8/2026

The Clark County School District Board of Education work session and meeting on October 8, 2026, considered procurement and budget matters alongside policy and district business. The board approved the consent agenda, which included a vehicle purchase; a board member welcomed the district’s move toward hybrid vehicles and expressed interest in transitioning to electric vehicles in the future. A construction contract related to the Bailey Henderson Holston project was pulled from consent and not approved during the meeting. Staff described proposal scoring criteria including firm and team experience, price, and local subcontractor participation. Board members raised questions about repeat awards and minority- and small-business participation, and requested a presentation on the disparity study and its next steps. The board also discussed a potential duty-free lunch policy expansion, with estimated annual staffing costs of about $240,000; the item was pulled for further review, with a request to revisit it in November.

The board approved a resolution authorizing submission of its 2027–2032 charter-system renewal application to the Georgia Department of Education by November 2; the application includes expanded instructional and career-learning initiatives and explores additional waivers. The board also considered a proposed bond-arbitrage rebate payment: the final calculation presented was about $1,320,420, with roughly 90% due by October 31 and a final settlement expected after the bonds mature in May 2027. The transcript does not capture a clear vote result on that payment. An AI-use policy was pulled for revision, while members discussed student safeguards, staff disclosure of AI use, privacy, and implications for district devices. No construction contract award was recorded.
