001It's time to order the work session, please, for April 14. Um, turn it over to Mr. Bradley. All right. And we will go ahead and jump straight in to begin with Mr. Cody with the April financials. Or, excuse me, the February financials for April 14. >> [snorts] >> Um, okay, so we didn't have any budget amendments in February. Um. So, um, the general fund continues to be in sound financial position as we progress throughout the fiscal year. Our revenues are We're at 78% of the annual budget, while expenditures were at 63.3%. The budget position at the end of February was 66.7%. [clears throat] In February, we received January sales tax collections in the amount of $2,913,694. Um, the sales tax collected in February of 2026 were 9.15% higher than in February of 2024. Have you
002been by Buc-ee's lately? I'm sorry. Buc-ee's. It's loaded. It's huge, and it's loaded with people. And I'm like, there's the money. >> At all times. All the time. Well, well, I'll make a comment on that right now before we get to the guru report. Our uh sales tax collection from between March The comparison of March of '23, because we did not Excuse me, '20 '24. Because we did not have one in '25, but our March '24 collections versus our March uh current collections was only 0.5% increase. It was essentially flat. Um. Really? >> Yeah. So, Mr. Dimsdale has done some digging with uh you know, a dozen or so other school systems, mainly trying to target those up and down I-75 and and uh and I-95 that have a an interstate economy. And uh um
003there are some that are up, some that are down, but ours is completely flat. Interesting. Sorry, Mr. Gooden. Up and down. Um, then [clears throat] with our um investments, our February interest was $565,000 $471.53. >> [clears throat] >> Are there any questions about the financials or the investments? Excuse me, Mr. Gooden. If not, we'll go straight into the uh FY27 budget update. [clears throat] Okay. >> [snorts] >> So, I did just want to preface this by saying that um this is a preliminary budget. I'll present this again in May um before we adopt the final budget in June. So, the first sheet we have right here is where we're estimating the um property tax digest. Let me switch folders. Too far away. Um, so and and before I get into this, I kind of just
004wanted to give a brief overview of our budget development process. Um, we start with our estimated beginning fund balance, and then project current year revenues by incorporating anticipated increases and decreases. And then we follow the same approach for expenditures. So, when revenues exceed expenditures, the fund balance increases, and then when expenditures exceed revenues, the fund balance decreases. So, just a quick overview. Um. So, then um for fiscal year '27, I projected a $5,166,100 increase in the local tax revenue based on the current millage rate of 14.90. Uh this estimate assumes a 5% increase in the tax tax digest and a 97% collection rate. Um, if you look at the 5-year average, uh it's 8.78%, so I felt like the 5% was a very conservative place to start. Um, I'll have some more concrete uh numbers
005from the tax assessor before the May meeting, so that that rate may be revised a little bit. Um. So, additionally, I increased our projections for prior year property taxes, intangibles, transfer taxes, penalties, and TABT by a million dollars based on the current year collections. So, that's right here. Right now, we have $8.9 million budgeted, and so I increased that to 9.9 for next fiscal year. So, if you come over here, you can see our our beginning revenues, the local tax increase, and then the increase for the TABT. So, um Let's see. Due to a decline in FTE, I've estimated a $900,000 decrease in QBE funding. I'm hopeful that the fiscal year 2027 initial QBE allotments will be available prior to the May meeting, which will allow me to refine this estimate. >> [snorts] >> Based
006on these assumptions, total projected revenues for fiscal year 2027 are $201,030,500. And then on the expenditure side, there are three mandated increases. The TRS rate will increase from 21.91% to 22.32%, resulting in additional cost of $447,200. >> [clears throat] >> Then our state health is going to increase by $50 per month per employee, um totaling $567,000 for certified staff and $276,000 for classified staff. So, that brings our total mandated expenditure increase to $1,290,200. And then moving on to our non-mandated expenditures, um our annual salary step increases total $1,360,200 for certified employees and $626,200 for classified employees. Um new positions resulted in an increase of $3,792,200, offset by a reduction of $1,437,500 for our riff positions. And then the next page, you can see a detail of that breakdown of the new positions and the riff
007positions. Um our athletic supplements, we had an increase of $201,500. And then departmental budget increase of $936,600, with those details outlined on the final page. And so, as you all know, we've prioritized maintaining employee salaries within the top three in the first district RESA to remain competitive in attracting and retaining highly qualified staff. And based on our most recent salary study, most of our positions did rank within the top three. For those that did not, I'm recommending a targeted salary adjustment at a cost of $356,200. And then lastly, I'm recommending the removal of operating transfer in the current year's budget in the amount of $188,400. So, overall projected expenditures exceeded revenues by $1,671,100. The shortfall will be covered with the estimated ending fund balance of $27,110,659. And then on these next two pages, I have
008provided the breakdown of the new and riff positions as well as the departmental budget changes. And I'm happy to review these line by line or just answer any questions that you may have. If we um the reduction, the $900,000 reduction because of FTE funds. So, in like student numbers, what's that like population numbers, what's that number that decreased, do you think? Like what do we base it off? 13,000 now, what are we looking at for next year? Well, it's hard to base the FTEs and the student counts [clears throat] are are different. Right. Our our overall population um year over year is it's around 150 decrease student-wise. The FTE is tied to it based on the specific programs and and the way the students are served. So, >> Right. um So, in the in the
009number of segments. So, our actual FTE numbers you may be 13,000, but our our actual student population 12,000. Sure. But we have seen a decrease in our in our FTE segments, which we're looking into to see what we can do in to maximize >> to help with that in but overall, our student population is decreasing decreasing. I just showed it to us this morning. I don't know, 115 to 130 students per year over the last 4 years. Um the departmental increase, the $900,000 give or take, what what's in that number? So, I have that right here. Okay. Um the first the first thing is actually a reduction. It's a reduction of 200,000 for our special ed contracted staff, just based on our numbers for this year. I feel like we can decrease that. Um So,
010Schoolinks is no longer federally funded. Actually, Miss Haywood will be presenting that later today. So, we had to move that to the general fund. That amount does include $18,500 in startup fees, which will just be for the first year. Um Then the GSBA, they recommended a 10 to 15% increase, so I just went on the high end with 15. And then I [clears throat] did 6% increase for power, 75,000 for auto deductibles based on this current year. Then we did have that transportation software that was approved in February of 371, eight. And I think um I think it's of that $291,000 of that is startup, so that will once again just be [clears throat] next year. In '28, that'll come back out. And then a fuel increase, and then just increases to the IT budget,
011just subscriptions and licenses. This is Cody. Um The reduction in special ed contract, so I remember we had that discussion about that uh third party. So, that has something to do with it? It does. Um we we contract a lot of things, so it's not just paras, it's sometimes we have contracted SLPs, psychologists. So, it it's just we've we have we have not used we have not used it as much this year, the contracted staff. We've been able to hire internally to get >> [clears throat] >> GSBA risk management, why did they go up 15%? I mean, it's every year it goes up. It it's actually less. Last year, they recommended, I think it was like an 18 to 25% increase. [clears throat] >> it was in the low 20s is what they rate. It
012is based off it's based most of it is based off of facility covers for storm damage for storms, and it's it's based off of the market price for that. What's been the trend for the last 5 years? Has it been a steady increase in Overall or just cost versus revenue? Overall? Yeah, over the last 5 years, just rough. Um I would say over the last 5 years, yes. I think in fiscal year 2021, just because we had so much COVID money, you know, we were able to shift so many things to federal funds that it probably wasn't that way, but uh overall, I would say yes. Now, last year we did approve, I think I can't remember the exact number, but it was upwards of $7 million for local salary increases. So, um you know,
013we don't have [clears throat] that that large increase again this year. So, if I'm remembering correctly, I think last year our overall Let's see if we can get to the right page. I think last year our overall increase to the general fund was close to $11 million, and this year we're at 6.9. So, that was mainly due to that local salary increase. Well, and and that's fine, but you don't you know, you don't have to be precise. I'm just trying to get a feel for the past. If you were anticipating the future for 5 years, what would you say is going to happen? Well, >> going to steadily see those types of increases? It well, if our student population continues to decrease, obviously the number of teachers that we have will decrease. Uh and then
014directly related to expenditures, and then our revenues, we really don't know what's going to happen until we figure out this new tax legislation. >> [clears throat] >> I don't think we've seen the TRS contribution rate or the insurance cost go down very much. If they did, they came right back up. Over over the last 5 years, the health insurance rate is is double the health insurance is double over the last 5 years. This is the this is really the smallest health insurance increase that we've seen in the last 5 years. I think once in the last 5 years, TRS stayed the same for 2 years in a row, but other than that, [clears throat] it's steadily increased. And early on, I mean, and this lots happened since then, so my memory is not um definitely
015what it used to be, but early on, I think we bumped up larger than a normal annual increase with the promise that it was going to come down the next year and the state didn't ever bring it down. You know, it's like everything once they move it up, it's hard for them to move it back. So, um I think that's led to, you know, things that are out of our [clears throat] control and that are not funded for us. So, You would probably, no doubt, addressed it in your analysis, but were there any opportunities for significant savings anywhere? I mean, not really. Just overall, we're seeing costs go up. I mean, fuel, power, I mean, everything, you know, costs just continue [clears throat] to rise. We, you know, once again, we did our overall positions
016that we added, you know, it was 23.75 and you can see a lot of those positions are um special ed. We had to add um three special program classes just based on the needs of our students. So, you know, Mhm. That's That's a lot and then another significant amount was, you know, the literacy coaches that we were required to add cuz of House Bill 1193. So, you know, between those two things, that was 24 positions. So, once again, like with the special ed situation, it's just based on the needs of our students. >> [clears throat] >> Is there anywhere we can help you to bring down costs? Not that I can think of. Just say no, Charlie. So, so that was going to be my point a little bit about like, I don't know if
017Charlie's getting there or not, but um you know, we all understand it. Obviously, not maybe not as great as we should, but but more than the layperson does about unfunded mandates and that sort of thing and and fuel [clears throat] increases and everything else, but but as we go forward and we don't know what tomorrow's going to hold with the economy or anything else. I just most [clears throat] people on the street would say, "Okay, your student population's going down, but your budget's increasing every year." And like we can explain a lot of that stuff like, you know, the insurance costs, the fuel costs, the mandates, the health insurance mandates. We've been talking about that forever, um ever since I've been on the board. But I just think we need to continue to look as
018best we can and again be, you know, adding positions or promotions or where wherever we can save money. I mean, we we haven't said no to anything. I don't think ever that I can remember recently and so that's on us too, um to look at those things more critically, but I think it's important at some point people are going to start saying, "Well, why you know, our student population continues to live birth rate's down, you know, in 5 years it's going to we're going to have even fewer kids in school." So, "What are we doing to cut back those costs?" That was through natural attrition, through teachers and stuff like that. So, um we just need to keep keep keep keep a have a sharp eye on it, I think and maybe, you know, as
019you when you're presenting things, you know, and I know you probably y'all all would do it, beat your vendors up. I mean, we're, you know, do everything you can, you know, to to squeeze them. Um I don't think we've ever ever had a problem with that, but I think we need to just be be diligent with those things and see if we can't save money where we can. And I will say >> Go ahead. Excuse me. >> [clears throat] >> I will just say to add to that, um you know, I I kind of put under the riff positions, I put our average class size for our kindergarten classes. I mean, we have we have been able to keep fairly small class sizes and >> important, for sure. And you know, Yeah, um I will
020what I was going to say is if there's coming from other directions, meaning fed and state government, we need to be willing to say whatever we think is appropriate to get them to knowledge that that this is maybe perhaps not sustainable. And and and it's easy not to do that. You know, not let the representatives know and not do it in an organized way, so you actually have some power to influence them. So, we may want to give thought to how we would do that. One another thing to keep in mind too as well as with our classified employees, we don't receive any funding from the state for health insurance. So, what you know, when that health insurance is doubled, I mean, our local funds are picking up that full amount for all of our
021classified employees, which is >> that as an example, did we let anybody know, Rick or Mike or anybody in the House or Senate know that that's an issue in a somewhat organized way? >> It's It's a constant conversation with with with with them about the health insurance costs. I mean, it's That's, you know, set set by our state health benefit plan. So, it's it's a it's a constant reminder and as well as you know, things such as uh the unfunded mandates such as the literacy coaches versus the property tax legislation. I had a conversations you know, about that [clears throat] as well. Well, and you do often hear when they bring things about in legislation that it's fully funded through quality basic education, but quality basic education funding formula hasn't changed since like 1986. So,
022I think, you know, I would think it's time to look at that. Um and it's you know, it's nice to have them contribute some towards [clears throat] some raises here and there, but I just don't like to hear them say that it's fully funded all the time because we all know that it's not and and I think Rick probably has an idea that it's not just from being with our school system before, but it makes it sound like, you know, we've we've got our needs covered through the state, but that's not really the way that it is in reality. So, um I know we're we're working constantly. I know after, you know, COVID funds and we had added some programs. I know y'all took a hard look at what we had added and if it
023was working and analyzing, do we keep it? Do we change to something else? Do we, you know, do something different. So, every few years it's good to do that and like Ms. Cody was saying, sometimes even when our student population's decreasing, it's less about numbers and more about the makeup of it and like um Mr. Blackerby was saying, the um the FTE that we're going to get for it. So, it's not it's not as cut and dried as like running a business is, really. Um so, there's just a lot of wheels that spin to Well, I will say I do think our our district does well trying to cut. I mean, we it's constant conversation that we have in cabinet and you know, we've relayed that to the principals, you know, are are these, you
024know, subscriptions, software like, you know, are these things effective? I mean, those are conversations that that I know our assistant superintendents have had with the principals. So, It's real easy for the state government to say they're going to give a special bonus and make that a public announcement and then put the burden on the local school systems to come up with part of that difference. And I'm not opposing it. I'm just saying it. That's really cool politics. And I've been [clears throat] there. So, I just, you know, the reality of evaluating where you are and what you're doing and what you can forecast if that's even possible with such a huge entity successfully is just something you really have to spend a lot of time. So, I commend you on doing that and the whole
025staff. But uh if if there's something that really needs serious attention at another level, we need to be prepared to help see that something's said about it. I just tell them the price of cheese has went up in the last 5 years. Everything's going up. Ms. Ms. Cody, the >> [snorts] >> the 5% increase in in in fuel, is that enough? I mean, I Diesel and gas. Where is our current diesel at? $5? Well, and I I mean, I guess the same thing. It just depends on what happens with the economy. I mean, you just you really you really don't know. I mean, I mean, we have a little cushion in there right now. Okay. So, I mean, it's But no, you don't you I really don't know, but a good hurricane that wipes out
026the Gulf oil rigs will will hurt you in a hurry. Cuz this is real right now. Um especially with the diesel. I think we get a little discount on it. That petroleum Georgia Power, I've had a conversation with I had Pat McAdams conversation with them and they they feel comfortable with us. They're fine with with that budget that we have in there. They think that's more than enough. So, but those [clears throat] are two big expenditures, for sure, diesel and and our and our power bill. How do we purchase diesel, by the way? You don't have to elaborate much. Just is it a state contract? Uh it's a it's a bulk purchase through uh through a through a bulk vendor. With with diesel, we try to be consistent and buy from a single source supplier
027so that you know um what's in your tank. So, I know we're not paying market. We got a little discount. >> [clears throat] >> Yeah. Can we Maybe educate me as much as anything on allotments. And and maybe they Mr. Knight or Mr. Vincent have better answer the question. I don't know, but with the allotments, I mean, we're for the public's listening, we're talking about our population is shrinking year over year over year, but we're adding teachers based on allotments. Is there a simple explanation of the math and how that allotments how that works to say it it I mean, I look at it like 9 through 12, you know, two and a half spots based on allotments. Is that it's a shifting of the ages of the students. Like, where are we shrinking in
028elementary? Like, if you look >> In in Just how does that work? If you look over yeah, we're decreasing 10 elementary. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, I guess that does answer that. But then just a little is there some simple explanation as to how the allotments work to maybe help the public understand why we're adding some places when we're talking about And there's really not a simple explanation. What I I mean basically Basically what I do is I go through and I look at what our current year enrollment is and I project it for the next year. And so then for the elementary schools like we have our schools tiered. So, you know, depending on their tier, we determine what the class sizes are and it's not an exact science. You know, sometimes you might
029have four teachers and you know, have a have a certain class size and then if you take a teacher away, it makes the class size way too big You know, it's not an exact science. Um and then we do meet with the principals and you know, I of course I've get input from the assistant superintendents and and we meet with the principals and we we have HR there. I mean it's it's a group, federal programs and we go through and discuss their allotments and then they make requests. And then our allotment committee comes together and determines whether they think it's a reasonable request or not. And you know, one thing to keep in mind is we do have positions that are federally funded. And so this just reflects our general funded positions. It doesn't reflect
030our federally funded positions. And if I could say this and that is you know, when we're talking about staffing our special programs, many times those those programs require quite a bit of staff because we need to meet the need of those needs of those students. So, you might have a teacher and a couple of paraprofessionals because of the needs of the children. So, when we've had to add the additional classrooms, it could be for each classroom we've had to hire at least three people, a teacher and two or three paraprofessionals because of the needs of the students in the room. So, while sometimes it looks like it's an increase and it is an increase, but the students' needs may be vast and we've got to meet those as well, too. Well, I and I don't
031want y'all to think I'm being critical, but I just want us to to continue to be aware of it because we're in a great position right now in a a large part because of y'all. We have a great community, obviously, great tax base, great good investments now. But we do make decisions that um that we're all aware of and we need to be able to speak to them in public. Well, we could talk about the the underfunded mandates with health insurance and that sort of thing, but also the child care we do. You know, we have more SROs at every school. We never got rid of nurses or or art or that sort of thing. So, we got to, you know, ourselves be able to speak to that if we do get questions about it.
032But I guess as we do those things, you know, we've never asked for, you know, a give and take if you if you spend 100,000, you got to cut 100,000. We've never done that before, but it just, you know, we're going to have to continue to sharpen the pencil just where we can. You know, I'm not again not being critical of how we how we operate, but um things have gone up in his everybody's personal life and you know, we built all these great new schools that are more energy efficient, but they're bigger, right? And so it costs more to operate them. So, everybody thought that the new Brunswick High School was going to be the last to operate than the old Brunswick High School is just crazy because it's just bigger and it's costs
033more to operate. More efficient, but um there's no way it costs um less to operate than the new Brunswick High School than than what some of us went to school. So, >> [clears throat] >> um but we're aware and so I just wanted to get it out there that we could just continue to look where we can. Mr. Dodgen, we're also trying to give afford students opportunities for post-secondary things. And so I know you pointed out there's two and a half positions in the allotment for the high school level 9 through 12. One of those is a health care instruct additional health care instructor for out at GICA because we've seen double-digit waiting lists of students who can't get into that program. So, we're looking at those lists and saying, "Okay, can we afford those
034students an opportunity that ultimately leads to a career for them?" That helps our community. We also see health care positions as the number one job vacancy need for for Glynn County and Brunswick. And we've seen that projected right out to 2050. So, when we're adding a health care instructor, we're thinking about, "Okay, how We're having aging population. They're going to have needs. We're going to need people to work in those fields and we have students who have interest. So, we want to try to afford and I I can do it in CTE, I can do it in dual enrollment, AP. We're trying to afford students some opportunities that lead to like I said that post-secondary success that and we've encouraged different tracks. I mean, for a long time we've talked about colleges being the the
035option, right? But we know that that workforce development is coming in our CTE AE programs as well. So, trying to give students that opportunity while they're still in high school. And and sometimes that's when those positions like that are added. I would encourage creativity, too. Don't hesitate to come up with the best idea that in the United States of America to do something different. You know, and I don't know what that opportunity is, but but you all been at it a long time and I'm sure sometimes you think of something that nobody else considers a great idea when in fact it is. Well, this year, you know, we're in the process of master schedule development for next year and Brunswick High School looked at adding an AI pathway because their AI is is here to
036stay. And if we can get our our high school students exposed to that and and you know, have those valuable skills as they graduate and move on, it's going to be to their benefit. So, we are looking at outside-the-box type of things. Yeah, and I GICA, you know, been a great success as far as my perspective. And I was here when we were kicking it off. Yeah. Uh so, that's the sort of thing that and those jobs are probably more valuable right now than many others. Any types of jobs. College in high school. My grandbaby just graduated high school with a 2-year degree. And he's off to tech. Don't tell anybody. Where is tech? >> [laughter] >> I've lived with it all my life. >> [laughter] >> For more opportunities for our students. We'll figure
037out how to make it work. I like it. No problem. Okay. Thank you. >> [laughter] >> Any more questions about the budget? We can bring it back. We can do it. Yeah, Miss uh Cody will Miss Cody will present the second pass of it in May. So, uh time to time to think about it between now and May. Do you have [clears throat] uh Miss Cody I commend you. I'm sure it was fun. Oh, it was. >> [laughter] >> I'm confident I halfway understand that. So, speaking of spending money, Miss Seals, the uh Frontline software [laughter] Great segue. No. Good evening. So, I'm coming before you tonight to um ask that you approve two Frontline system Frontline education systems that we use um recruiting and hiring and our absence management programs. These software applications manage,
038of course, our employment applications, employee recommendations, and daily classroom coverage with substitute teachers and paraprofessionals. Um renewing these programs allows the district to maintain a digital paperless workflow um for hiring and prevents disruptions in substitute placement. Um the total cost for the annual renewal of both is $43,119.92 and that is a an increase of $2,840.56 from last year. And that's what we've >> [snorts] >> been using [clears throat] as an applicant tracking Frontline that we've been using since 2019. When when we did when we did that or when we go out and look at Frontline and I don't even know if this will be an option, but a lot of us in in the public or private sector use like Workday. Have we ever looked at an application like that to see if it's something
039that we could use or did they did they have an education piece in like in a Workday software? I'm not asking for y'all to do some big migration right in the middle of the year or anything, but I just wondered if we if we checked on that if it's something that I don't know. Frontline has always been a little bit plain and cumbersome in my opinion just when I've linked in it a little bit. I don't know all the ins and outs of it for sure. Um I just wondered if there's anything out there that's more affordable and and offers more options. It would probably be an off-the-shelf, you know, That is definitely something to look into. I am definitely not opposed to that. Um this is of course software we've been using for a
040while, but I am definitely open to looking into other options as well. You're right. Frontline is cumbersome. Yeah, I just I've never liked working in it, but I've been [clears throat] around it and been in it some. It's just kind of Do they talk about this in your industry? Um any other software? Yes, several other pieces of software. They call me all the time um wanting to sell it to me. Um there's a couple of them that I particularly like. Um I don't know the cost of those and also, too, want to make sure that it integrates with everything that we have because that's also uh important to us um to make sure if we're going to go to something new, is it going to integrate with everything that we have. Um it would be
041a shame for us to take something on board and it's even more cumbersome to bring on board, but absolutely there are other things that we do talk about in our industry. Um in May I'll be going to a conference and they'll be there and I talk to them every year um about what they have and yes there's a couple of them I'm really happy. >> Frontline has sort of been the standard in Georgia because if you search any school system in Georgia you pretty much go to a Frontline home page. But we're seeing school districts move away from it. Anybody not recent? I think one, maybe two. Mr. Wood. I don't believe you're up next. East Blos. Michelle, be quick. How long is that price? Do you have a certain one year? One Okay, so
042that's one year, but you have to decide by for this price to be I I mean we'd have to decide before I mean the current subscription runs out in June 30th. Mhm. So we'd have to decide on something new before then. Before June 30th. Actually it's probably a little bit late because when you think about it, not only do you have to approve it and bring it We have to put out a bid for bring it before [clears throat] do all the bid pieces. Yeah, yeah. And we have to be the ones You have to be the migrate to it and I would It's like the financial software. I would never suggest we try to do this, you know, in a year or less. Um Dr. Nelson Shelly Nelson started it and then when I
043came into HR I continued it with Frontline. It took It it took about a year to get everything done and ready to go before we Mr. Wood. Good evening, everyone. I'll uh start off by going through our East Blos projects. Um First I'll talk about the College of Coastal Georgia Performing Arts Center. Um the building is complete. Um now they're just basically finishing up punch list items. Um and the ribbon cutting ceremony is Friday, April the 17th at 2:00 p.m. Um and uh Ms. Lee you had asked about the stage size. They set the I went in there Monday and they set the stage up the the way they have it set up now it is 53 by 20. Um and it is 32 ft from the first row of seats. So that's the space
044between the first row of seats and the stage, but the actual stage is about 53 by 20. Um give or take. And um as far as the budget goes, we've spent 79% of the budget um 15.8 million. Uh and we've got the 4.2 remaining. Um they've already got a few events scheduled for the uh opening um Dr. Evans uh investiture ceremony and it'll be also a uh scholarship gala will be later on that evening on Monday, April 27th and then the Coastal Georgia Symphony will be performing a grand opening concert on May the 12th at 7:30, but it is a beautiful beautiful facility. Um and like I said they're just finishing up last minute um punch list items now. Um with 1,000 seats it seats 1,000, right? Are you concerned at all about the parking?
045Because I am. >> Yes, definitely. I mean you've got that uh the conference center that's right next door to it. But It's That parking is going to be a huge concern. >> Yeah, I agree 100%. I agree 100 cuz the parking lot in front of the in front of the performing arts center is very small. >> Oh yeah. It's it's a small parking lot. So um when they have big huge events people will get their steps in definitely. Why why is it an issue at this point? What's that? Parking. Why why why wouldn't it taken into account earlier? I don't know. I mean, you know, I don't know. I I mean I was I was part of some of those early planning meetings. I mean it it that's all on the college part of of
046the planning so I mean They have a master plan to for that entire piece of property. I think there is some additional parking at some point, but they have plans to expand even some of the I don't want to get into their plans, but they have a master plan for that entire block there. We asked the Exchange Club to come out and help park. >> [laughter] >> Or CC and the Exchange Club they can probably They can do it. All right, moving on. Before you move on can you go back Go back to the number one more time with the wheel, the total numbers. What's that now? The the the numbers. You said there was a a balance left. Oh yeah, um we paid out a at right at a little over 15.8 million, which
047is 79% of the of the budget of the 20 20 million of our part. So we've got about a little over 4.2 left to pay out on that budget. On that budget. >> pay out is there is there costs that already are known and anticipated that will use up some of that or is it is it in fact an expense? No, everything is done. We're just waiting on them to send us the bill for our portion of whatever else we have left to pay and if if it's not then we'll get um a credit back of that 20 Let me see if I can help. They're going to get 20 million. >> [laughter] >> They're going to get every penny, but not a penny more. That was the deal. They're going to get their 20
048million. Right. It's like up to 20 million. That was the deal. Not a penny more. We they they bill us after the after the Board of Regents pays they send the all of the invoices and all of the the marked paid receipts to Ms. Cody and myself, which is usually a packet like that and it's all signed off on the architect uh that that it's all been completed and then we go through it and verify it and then we we pay them after after they have paid the contractors we pay the Board of Regents back or the college back. All right, moving on to our next East Blos project is the Glendale Elementary replacement and not a whole lot to see here, but um I went out today and they've actually got some steel uh
049being erected right now. This is the wing one, which is the wing where the cafeteria will be, but this will be the uh where the classrooms will be. And this is just another view from the back of it. This picture on the left of course this will be the hallway and classrooms will be on this side, classrooms will be down that side and at the front of it they haven't put that part on yet. I mean build put the steel up yet. This area up here will be the cafeteria. But um they are making very good progress. All of the slabs have been poured with the exception of two. Um they still have to pour the slab for the gym and then the last slab will be for the daycare. So once they get in
050that those should be done by April the 24th and we'll be done with pouring slabs. Again the steel was delivered on the 8th and you can see they begin erecting it. Um the door frames have all metal door frames have also come in and as well. And according to uh Tyson Construction the project is on schedule uh as of to date. And moving on to our local capital outlay projects, of course the BHS field house is complete. And um I'll talk about that a little bit later because we have a change order a credit um that we'll get back, but the field house is complete. They're just doing minor things now um hanging TVs and different things like that, but it is um fully operational, complete and um Coastal lacking the boys are using it
051and getting stronger. Um the Board of Education office Mr. Blackaby and his team have moved into wing four and the technology department has been moved into their permanent location on wing two now. All of the course all the heavy lifting on the phase five renovations in here and in the cafeteria large training room is complete now, but we still got some punch list items and just some some minor things that we're going to do in house, but most of the heavy lifting um with that project with this project has been done for phase five. The windows look great. I think so, too. It's modern, clean and clear and bright. More energy efficient. More energy efficient. Yeah. All right, I will move on to the E SPLOST report. And Mr. Blackaby kind of um spoke a
052little bit about it earlier. And you can see our collections uh for this um our latest collection was 2,839,394 dollars and 12 cent. This is our lowest collection um on E SPLOST 5 and as Mr. Blackaby was saying this amount is only 13,403 dollars and 14 cent more than what we collected two years ago at this exact period of time. Two years um so as he said it's just kind of kind of stagnant right now and it and it's been a like a kind of a steady decrease. Um, we were up and then like I said, over the last two collections you've seen it kind of going down, so be interesting to see, you know, how it goes with spring break travel and all of that stuff further on down the line. All right, moving
053on to If people are feeling the pinch already, so buck up. Change order for Brunswick High School Field House addition. I'm asking uh the board to approve the change order for the BHS Field House House addition in the amount of $76,099.36. Uh this amount is being credited back to our local capital outlay funds from the owner owner's contingency. So, again, that project is done, it's paid out, and everything is good and we're getting back $76,000. We need a positive change order for some of these software companies and stuff. All right, my second change order. I'm asking the board to approve change order in the amount of $42,476.35 for phase two of the site development for the Glendale Elementary Replacement. This is for some additional site work. Again, the the budget was already you already approved
054the phase one and the phase two budgets. Um, but this was some additional site work and the money is coming from the construction GMP and not from So, I'm not asking for any more money. The money's coming from Tyson Construction's GMP contingency to pay for uh to pay Region Enterprises. So, no additional money from It's no additional money, it's swapping money from one contract to the other. Right. And then my last item. You want to come back later and make that up. Hopefully we'll save that amount of money in the >> save that. Okay, okay. All right. We got 18 months, don't worry about it. We'll see. Okay, all right. And my last item is I'm asking the board to approve the guaranteed maximum price of $9,273 $273,826.00 from Pope Construction. And this is for
055the complete renovation of Goodyear Elementary School and again, that will include new roof, completely new kitchen, uh new serving lines, uh two will be two serving lines, um new parking lot, just a an entire full renovation um of that building. And I'm asking you all to approve and again, uh it'll come from E-SPLOST 5 and we're also receiving about $1.9 million in state funding for that project. Um, so yeah, I'll be asking you to approve that as well. Any questions on >> [clears throat] >> When was Goodyear last updated? It's about the same time. Well, it was when Mr. Moses was here, right? Is that when We had the old range because of the furniture and we had the We let a bunch of parapros go to offset it. I wasn't on the board yet.
056I But It was over 20 It's probably 25 years ago. >> a built in '99, 2000. That's when that school opened. Yeah, yes, it's like a 2000. Reopened, yeah. Reopened, reopened. I went to that school in '99, so it was before that. >> [laughter] >> No, that was already I thought it was shut. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, Yeah, way before that. It was way before that. Um, okay. But yeah, it's it's going to be a completely full renovation of that school and um >> [snorts] >> asking to approve that uh GMP amount. Second. At 20 years, it becomes eligible for the full state funding of the $1.9 million. Say that again. I said at 20 years, it becomes fully eligible for the state uh capital outlay money, the $1.9 million he referenced. So, after
05720 years it's been We're well beyond that 20-year window. That's all I have. That's all for Mr. Haywood then Ms. Haywood, Schoolinks. Good evening, everyone. Good evening. Schoolinks is a comprehensive modern college and career readiness platform for our students grades 6 through 12 to plan for their post-secondary futures, explore careers, and research colleges. Schoolinks streamlines our counseling workflows, manages internships, and engages families through career assessments, resume builders, and digital portfolios, all of which fully align with the Georgia Bridge Law and top state for talent as a part of Senate Bill 401. This is a replacement for our previous platform Naviance and we are asking the board to approve the purchase of this new platform. There is a one-time setup cost of $18,500 and you will like this, Mr. Hulsey. The annual fee for the FY27
058year would be $49,719, which would total $68,219 for the first year. This would be funded from local funds and CTAE funds in partnership with our CTAE program. The reason why I said you would like this is we've been paying or we would pay if we continue with Naviance $57,398.05, which means that by going with Schoolinks, we would save in the first year $7,679.05. Over the next 3 years, we would save over $23,000 by using Schoolinks as opposed to continuing with Naviance. The reason why we are asking to transition to this new platform, again, this would be a partnership with our CTAE programs. The platform will be used with our work-based learning students at the Career Academy, which is satisfying another requirement. Our work-based learning students are required to document and to log when they do
059their seek their work-based learning hours, how much money they earn and those things. And so, Dr. Deppenhard and I partnered together so that we're kind of doing two things within one platform. So, not only are we satisfying our Senate Bill 401 requirements for our students in grades 6 through 12, but we're also capitalizing on the work-based learning component of that so that we're basically consolidating that work into one platform, which optimizes opportunities for our kids when you start thinking about workforce development, thinking about how those kids can make those all of that work together to really build a more robust um portfolio for them as you think about not just those who are going off to college, but those that are also going off into the workforce as well. And so, um we are hoping
060that the board will support us in approving this um change with regard to the platform and this purchase for FY27. Does it cover the same amount of licenses that we have now or do we have enough for every everyone? Yes, sir. And is the 18,000 is it just like software setup? Is there any hardware included >> one-time setup. Yes, sir. Just for the first year. And on the Is that like 18,000 a lot of money to for setup of a Yes, cuz you'll see there's training Yes, sir, there's training, there's the implementation of the work-based learning piece, um there's the grad and academic success part and then there's the platform. So, this is just the one-time subtotal for all of that setup. Once the setup is done, that would be that's it. And then um
061you'll see the recurring charges that they talk about, which this shows you this is just for next year. >> Right. For year one, that include that that amount includes that 18,000 and this will be for year two and year three. >> Okay. All right, Ms. Cody, Gold Nails Office Equipment lease. Okay, so this may seem a little bit repetitive, but um in February, you all approved Gold Nails Office Equipment to be awarded the copier lease. So, now I'm asking you to approve the copier lease from US Bank. You can see it's the same 12 quarterly payments of $71,975.43, so no dollar amount has changed. We're just approving the lease this time instead of the awarding of the copiers to Gold Nails Office Equipment, the lease through US Bank. Same quantity, same stuff. Same dollars. This
062is just a formality of the actual lease now. Yeah. The board had approved basically the the amount of the lease. Mr. Waters, middle school weight equipment. Yeah. Uh good evening. I just uh like to ask the board to please approve the purchase of new weights for all four of our middle schools um using E-SPLOST 5 at a total of $285,103.98. Um when we built our middle schools, we ordered weights for each middle school and we have not replaced them since each middle school has opened, so they're aging quite a bit and it's just time for a refresh of safer, newer equipment. Do we pitch that old equipment or do we or we have to surplus it? Because it can't be working. >> options. Um, Brantley County Middle School has already contacted me and would like
063some of it. Um it's pretty old, so I don't know how much they want, but um Would the law allow us to donate that to another school system or do we have to sell it for >> donate it to any school system. We can donate it to a school system or non-profit and Yeah. If you know of anyone who would like to get rid of it. What happens to a 45-lb weight? That You need to get another one. It's just a big It's just a piece of metal. I mean, come on. Rocky Rocky 2 with Mr. T. Yeah. I was against the Russian when he went down. >> [snorts] >> Bugsy writing Rocky used that old weight. >> [laughter] >> So, Steve, you're saying you can donate them to Brantley County. We could to another
064school system. >> To a school system. >> I'm not suggesting we're not saying we're giving it to Brantley County. Sorry. >> [laughter] >> But I'm not opposed to it either. >> Right. To a school system. Can do what And Brantley has >> Or non-profits I got you. In the past, I think we've given some to the sheriff. And there are other counties around. I'm sure they have them. >> [laughter] >> Mr. Waters, are they using the weights in the middle school? We In within the last 2 years, two of our schools are doing weights full-time. Two other schools are doing part-time weights with hoping to get that to full-time. What about females? Are females lifting? We do have females in our in our weight classes. Yeah. So, that's new this year. For our middle schools.
065All right, Mr. Benson, Goodyear Elementary School new line interactive panels. So, as we discussed earlier tonight, Mr. Haywood um talked about the Goodyear Elementary School renovation that's going to occur. Tonight, we have two items that would go hand-in-hand with that renovation. The first of which is the interactive panels for the classrooms and office areas. So, this first request is to purchase 41 interactive panels. So, that as we take the Promethean panels down and we recycle that old technology, this is to replace those with the newer product. That's the first one. The second one is as Mr. Haywood alluded to earlier, as part of the classroom renovation that's going to happen. Um it's going to be a full renovation. So, this next request is for the classroom audio systems. So, this is for the handheld microphone
066that the teacher could use, the speakers in the ceiling, all of the audio things that would go along with the technology that we plan to put in the classroom. So, this request is to purchase those components. This purchase also includes the installation of the interactive panels that we talked about on the previous agenda item. Mr. Benson, will it be intercom system in the gym, speakers in the gym? Mhm. They usually have the worst system. Yes. Yeah. So, so these um mics and everything that the teachers are they really using utilizing those a lot? I I go into a lot of classrooms and I have yet to see anybody using it. In the elementary, they're not using them unless they're unless they're needed to be used. Okay. >> For students that may have some hearing issues
067and they need to do that, but There's not a a need for it. Obviously, with the the classroom technology that's going on, the speaker systems and the audio as videos are played or presentations occur, I think that's used on a on a daily But I don't know so much about the Yeah, I'm sure that the boards and everything they're being used. I saw lots of that in middle school and elementary. I just didn't see I remember at one time they were very popular and everybody was wearing them. Uh maybe not. This allows for the capability should the teacher need it for a student that you know has audio issues. Right. But a red light, green light, yellow light that deaf kid Okay. >> [laughter] >> Okay. And then the next request is to This is
068our annual subscription renewal for our camera software. Um this is something that comes up every year. As you know, the board has approved the addition of classroom cameras and we've completed that project. That's been ongoing for the past couple of years. Um when we presented this to you last year, um we were at approximately uh 1,116 licenses that we needed. When we come back to you this year, we're now at 2,840. So, that gives you an idea of the number of cameras that we've added. Um the technology department looked at a possible replacement for this because we were looking for a a more equitable option that just Unfortunately, we use our classroom camera and our building footage for a lot of different things. We use it for personnel issues that come up. We use it
069for classroom discipline tribunals and that types of things. And just to be completely honest with you, we can't jeopardize losing that footage. And so, while we're looking at cost Say that what Say that sentence again. >> We can't jeopardize losing that footage. We got to be able to retain that. Whether it becomes a personnel situation, whether it's a a discipline situation with Mr. Haywood and tribunals, we got to be able to retain that video footage and be able to present it if needed. And so, while we looked at other options, there wasn't an option that allowed us to do that. And and and so, we didn't want to sacrifice quality for a better price. So, we are asking tonight to uh move forward with this renewal. This renewal brings all of our camera software licenses
070to a July to June point. So, as we've added along the ways, there's times where we've put classroom cameras in and we've needed to add a subscription or a license for the software. Since that project is complete, we're bringing everything to that schedule. So, when you look at the price from the previous year, last year we were at about 84,000 for this cost. This year, we're at 100 seven. It's gone up just a little bit given the fact the fact that we've also doubled the number of licenses that we're using, but we're receiving credit for some of those previous subscriptions. And the last item for tonight is the Brunswick intercom system. So, we are at a point at Brunswick where the manufacturer is no longer supporting the intercom system. And so, we have had some
071communication issues where we haven't been able to to hear different things. The the bells have been off at times. And so, tonight we're requesting a replacement of what they call the head end. That's the main system there. This replacement would also bring on the Brunswick field house, so we would have communication there and the old gym. So, we would have all the main building and the other two buildings all on the same system. Um and given the fact that we can't replace parts at this point, we're we we are there are some safety issues. We want to be able to make sure that we're in communication with everybody at all times. So, this is a request >> the bell system, too? Yes, sir. And that cost is Uh that cost is 128,387 dollars and 50
072cents. This purchase comes from the state security grant. Mr. McBay. Any questions on that? Kind of curious how much money you spent. So, yes. Yes. And we use the state security grant for the camera licenses as well. Um sorry. Um that's everything? Um so, what Mr. Blacker and I were just talking about is in this interest of time and our guest, we talked about if this is okay with everyone, adjourning this meeting. Um convening the next meeting having the spotlight and going into executive session right after the spotlight. So, that would be We would need to amend the agenda the next one. We'll We'll work through that with a vote, but we would >> We would add 3C. Can't move yet, Sean. >> [laughter] >> Um we would probably move it to 3C on the
073next agenda if that's okay with everyone. We can just We can just adjourn this one, not do an executive session, and add it to the next agenda. And then we'll do all We'll probably have to do Okay. Okay, got you. Okay. I'm not the authority on this, but do we have to amend the one for the work session, too, since that's a different >> so. I think we've been able to in the past just remove stuff or not talk about it without changing the agenda, but definitely if we add something we're going to talk about we have to add it to the next I think. Okay. Um So, do I hear a motion to adjourn the work session? [snorts] It was Mr. Jackson. Second. Seconded by Mr. Dodge. Uh any discussion? All those in favor?
074Aye. Aye. It's unanimous. I would like to call the meeting to order the the regular meeting for April 14th. I'm sorry we're a little bit late, but we we're going to kind of rearrange some stuff on our first agenda so we can have all you guys come in first and I suggested the green green, yellow light in the corner, but we just use the gavel instead of having y'all um clap three times or anything. So, um the first thing we have is the invocation and pledge with Ms. Lee. Let us bow heads. Dear heavenly Father, we are just so blessed to be here tonight, Lord. And we ask that you help us make wise decisions for administrators, the teachers, and for all the staff, and all the children, Lord. We just ask that you help
075us be good stewards of money and good stewards for this wonderful county that we have. Lord, we just ask these in Jesus' precious name. Amen. Amen. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right, Ms. Lee, thank you so much. All right, we'll turn it over to Ms. Johnson for the spotlight. Good evening. Good evening. This might be the largest crowd I've seen so far. So, our first spotlight through the Georgia Scholar Program, the Georgia Department of Education identifies and honors high school seniors who have achieved excellence in school and community life. Each Georgia Scholar receives a diploma seal and an honorary graduation cord. Georgia Scholars carry exemplary course load course
076loads throughout their four years of high school, demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, actively participate in school and community activities, and serve as leaders in their extracurricular and service organizations. The Georgia Department of Education recognized 162 graduating seniors across Georgia as the 2026 Georgia Scholars, and we have four of those as seniors at Brunswick High. So, this evening we have Pam Growner, assistant principal at Brunswick High, to present our Georgia Scholars. Thank you all [clears throat] so much. Um I want to introduce you to Melissa Bedelline and Charlie Clay Clayton Owens and Sadie Weiss. And these are just four exemplary students. I am so proud of them all. Georgia Scholar is probably my favorite recognition program out of everything that the state department does. Um it is a tough award to earn. On the base starting point,
077they have to either have a 1360 SAT or 31 um ACT score. So, that knocks a lot of kids out right there. And then beyond that, they have to demonstrate extensive leadership inside and outside of school. Um they have to be registered to vote, right? We're all They're all registered to vote. 17 and a half, so um there's a lot of pieces to it, but the the parts about the leadership that they show, they have to be members and leadership positions in so many organizations outside of the school system, but also hold those places with them. They also have to have [clears throat] participated in at least three interscholastic um competitions of some sort. So, that can be athletics, but it can also be one act. It can be um FBLA competitions. What else did
078you guys do? Model UN, Beta Science Olympiad. So, there's a whole variety of it, but um there are thousands and thousands and thousands of high school seniors in the state of Georgia, and the state of Georgia is only recognizing 162, and here are four of those 162. I'm going to let them introduce themselves to you and um share with you where they have decided to go to school or their top picks and what their major will be. Awesome. Good afternoon. My name is Melissa Bedelline. I'm committed to Stanford University in California, and I'm planning on uh majoring in chemical engineering and political science. PIECE OF CAKE. >> [applause] >> HELLO, I'M CHARLIE CLAY. UH TWO DAYS ago I committed to Georgia Tech. Nice. And I am planning to dual major in aerospace engineering and nuclear
079engineering. >> [applause] >> I'm Clayton Owens and I'm committed to UGA for mechanical engineering. >> [applause] >> I'm Sadie Weiss. I plan on committing to UGA and doing the double dog program for criminal justice and then get a master's in public administration. >> [applause] >> Congratulations to to all four of you. That's a certainly a prestigious honor and and high school certainly gotten a lot harder since we were since we were in school and um I know college applications and interests have have gotten more competitive too. So, it's really really speaks to your hard work and all of the support you have from teachers and parents and family that you're where you are. And and thank you so much for for making us look good and good luck. THANK Y'ALL. >> [applause] >> AND THEN
