$9.6 million awarded for new athletic and storage buildings
What happened
On June 9, 2026 the board awarded Mathis Parker LLC $9,574,000 to build metal buildings at Billingsley School, Marbury High, Prattville High, Prattville Primary and the maintenance site. The school-campus buildings are mainly girls' athletic space to meet Title IX rules; the others add storage. In October the superintendent said the buildings should be delivered in January 2027.
Why it matters to families
This is a large construction project paid with Advancement and Technology funds, 2021 bond money and local funds. Softball teams may start their season before the new facilities are ready.
The evidence
