The McGehee School Board approved adoption of the Carnegie Math curriculum in the amount of 179,837.62, to be paid from operating and professional development funds. This indicates the district has selected Carnegie as its core math curriculum and committed funding for materials and likely training. For vendors, the primary curriculum decision is made, but there is ongoing opportunity around implementation support, supplemental resources, assessments, and alignment services. Providers of tutoring, intervention tools, or curriculum-aligned digital resources can position services that integrate with or enhance Carnegie Math over the next several years.
Contract Award
$179,837Apr 27, 2026On June 9, 2026 the Dermott School District board agenda lists approval to hire Monticello Aluminum to address the awning behind Dermott Elementary in the amount of 19,850. This suggests a small capital or facilities project involving repair, replacement, or improvement of the exterior awning structure at the elementary campus. With Monticello Aluminum chosen and a specific project amount identified, the immediate work is awarded, but it indicates ongoing facilities maintenance and small‑scale capital needs. Construction, facilities, and safety vendors can monitor this as a signal that the district invests in exterior upgrades and may have additional roofing, shade structures, or accessibility projects in its pipeline.
Contract Award
$19,850Jun 9, 2026The board approved a bid from Lucky’s Chevrolet-GMC Truck Company of McGehee for a 2026 GMC Elevation truck in the amount of 60600. This indicates a fleet or maintenance vehicle acquisition to support district operations. For vendors, this confirms truck and fleet purchasing activity and identifies Lucky’s Chevrolet-GMC as a supplier. While this specific purchase is decided, it suggests ongoing needs around fleet management, maintenance services, upfitting, insurance, or future vehicle replacements in the district’s capital planning cycle.
Contract Award
$60,600May 18, 2026The board approved purchase of a used school bus from Central State Bus for 111,500, with the transaction scheduled for July 1, 2026. This indicates an active effort to refresh or expand the district’s transportation fleet using a used vehicle rather than a new bus. The specific bus purchase is set, but this reveals Central State Bus as a transportation vendor and suggests ongoing fleet aging and replacement needs. Transportation and fleet management vendors can approach the district about maintenance programs, future bus acquisitions (including electric or alternative-fuel options), funding strategies, and routing or telematics solutions to optimize the expanded fleet.
Contract Award
$111,500Apr 27, 2026The board approved entering into a purchased services contract for financial services with Norman Hill Enterprises LLC from July 1 2026 through June 30 2027 at a value of 10000. This indicates the district is outsourcing or augmenting its financial operations and compliance functions for the upcoming fiscal year. For vendors, this establishes Norman Hill Enterprises as the incumbent financial services provider and shows that McGehee engages external expertise for finance. There may be future opportunities around financial software, audit support, budgeting tools, or additional consulting when this one-year contract approaches renewal.
Contract Award
$10,000May 18, 2026The board approved the purchase of Progress Learning Liftoff for McGehee High School in the amount of 4500, funded through Title I. This indicates the district is investing in supplemental curriculum or intervention software for high school students using federal funds. For vendors, this confirms Progress Learning as an active instructional technology/curriculum provider in the district and shows ongoing use of Title I for digital or curriculum materials. There may be opportunities for add-on content, professional development, data services, or expansion to other grade levels and schools as the district evaluates impact.
Contract Award
$4,500May 18, 2026The board approved purchase of student accident insurance with Dwight Jones Agency at an annual premium of 22,900 for the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 school years. This establishes a two-year commitment to a specific insurance provider for coverage of student accidents. Although the provider is selected through 2027-2028, the multi-year term and stated premium give competitors clear timing for the next rebid opportunity. Insurance and risk management vendors can track this renewal cycle and engage the district ahead of the next term to offer alternative coverage, enhanced benefits, or integrated risk reduction services tied to athletics and student safety.
Contract Award
$45,800Apr 27, 2026The board approved a Solution Tree proposal for professional learning community (PLC) services for the 2026-2027 school year, in the amount of 45,300, to be paid from Title II-A funds. This represents a structured investment in staff professional development around collaborative practices and instruction. While Solution Tree is the chosen PLC provider for this period, the investment highlights a broader PD strategy and reliance on Title II-A. Other PD vendors can look at complementary services such as coaching, leadership development, and content-specific training that build on PLC structures or prepare the district for the next phase once this contract concludes.
Contract Award
$45,300Apr 27, 2026The board approved summer projects through a TIPS/TAPS contract with CertaPro Painters, including repainting and cove base replacement for McGehee Elementary 3rd/4th/5th hallways (17,000), Conner Middle School main hallway (13,400), and repainting the McGehee Administrative Building (6,800). These projects total 37,200 and will be executed as summer facility refresh work. The vendor selection is set via cooperative contract, but the projects signal ongoing interior facilities maintenance and the district’s use of TIPS/TAPS for such work. Facility service providers can position themselves on those cooperatives, and complementary vendors (flooring, lighting, signage, furniture) can approach the district with follow-on improvements aligned to the freshly painted spaces.
Contract Award
$37,200Apr 27, 2026The board approved purchase of brand new heavy-duty copiers for the elementary office and workroom in the amount of 12,000. One existing unit is a demo model with 90,000 on the meter, and Capital Technology will redeploy the existing machines within the district. This indicates a small but active copier fleet refresh and redistribution. While this specific copier purchase is set, it reveals Capital Technology as the copier vendor and underscores ongoing print/scan needs. Vendors of managed print services, maintenance agreements, or digital workflow solutions can use this as a signal to discuss fleet optimization, service contracts, and longer-term replacement planning across all buildings.
