# Board Meeting - October 12, 2026

The October 12, 2026, meeting of the Spartanburg School District One Board of Trustees included updates on school construction and a capital-budget action. The construction management team reported that the New Prospect Elementary School project remained within its roughly $20 million budget, with the building-package GMP ready to move forward and all three design alternates accommodated after identifying $700,000 in kitchen-equipment funding. Site work was progressing, though renovation contingencies remain for unknown conditions. The team also reported that bids for JM Cope’s early site package for another project came in below the initial estimate; additional estimates and schedules are still being developed for district projects, including work involving Thompson Turner.

The administration recommended increasing the 2026–27 capital budget by $500,000 to cover playgrounds and installation associated with the New Prospect addition and renovations. The board approved the motion unanimously. No specific contract award amount or vote approving a construction GMP was identified in the transcript. Other business included approval of the consent agenda and personnel report, plus first readings of policy updates; no other procurement actions were identified.
