MARTINSVILLE — The Martinsville Community Unit School District C-3 Board of Education on Thursday, July 23, 2026, voted unanimously to approve Omni Energy Partners as the district’s Life Cycle Infrastructure Program Manager.

The motion was made by Hollingsworth and seconded by Maxwell. All seven board members — Baird, Connelly, Hollingsworth, Kannmacher, Maxwell, Parcel and Wilhoit — voted in favor. It was listed as item A under new business, the first substantive action the board took after approving its consent agenda.

What the Record Does Not Say

The approval is recorded in a single sentence in the minutes and a single line on the agenda. Neither document states what the district will pay Omni Energy Partners, how long the arrangement runs, what services a Life Cycle Infrastructure Program Manager will provide to the district, or whether the firm was selected from among competing proposals.

No contract, proposal, memorandum or fee schedule accompanied the meeting materials released by the district. The minutes also record no discussion of the item — no board questions and no presentation by the administration — before the vote was taken.

That absence is the story’s principal limitation, and it is the district’s record rather than an omission in reporting. The agreement or proposal the board acted on would answer all of it, and is the single document most worth obtaining from the district office.

Context

The board took the action at the top of a meeting weighted toward getting the district ready for the Aug. 13 first day of classes, including six personnel hires, a grant of hiring authority to the superintendent and new bus driver pay rates. Facilities work was otherwise absent from the July agenda; no building project, energy project or capital item appears anywhere else in the minutes, and the administration reports delivered by Principal Cooper and Superintendent Waggoner are recorded only as having occurred.

The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Aug. 20, 2026.
