Dr. Boyd English provided an update on the financial status for the year through November 2024, with revenue at $17,199,513 and expenditures at $20,141,411. He also shared some exciting news about the construction progress at Bainbridge Middle School, stating, “We’re very excited. Our preparations are underway at Bainbridge Middle School. In terms of the move, our teachers, administrators, faculty, and staff are actually moving this week.” He expressed gratitude, saying, “I again want to thank Mr. Matthews, Mr. Calder, and his team for their assistance in the move.”

A ribbon-cutting ceremony for Bainbridge Middle School is scheduled for January, and the performance arts building is expected to be completed in March 2025. With the holiday season approaching, teachers will be on break from December 23 to January 3, and students from December 21 to January 8.
