The board’s substantive business centered on year-end financial authority, 2023–24 compensation, employee health-insurance eligibility, federal and local budget amendments, facilities spending, and contract renewals. Members approved the differentiated pay plan and salary schedules tied to the previously adopted budget, including a 6% increase to certified salary schedules plus steps and $3,000 support-staff increases. The board also advanced policy and resolution changes so part-time employees such as bus drivers and cafeteria staff can access board-paid single-employee health coverage, with discussion about whether board members should revisit their own eligibility later.

Facilities and purchasing items drew extended discussion: the board approved a $230,000 partial reroofing contract at two intermediate schools, approved a doors-and-windows project quote for three schools at about $1.38 million, approved an RJ Young copier lease expected to reduce maintenance costs, and approved an engineering contract for a fire-alarm replacement project. The chair-lift replacement at the board office was debated on ADA, cost, and alternatives but failed on a split vote. Other notable threads included TSSE membership and school-funding litigation, textbook adoption timing and prohibited-concepts concerns, school lunch debt reimbursement, annual agenda and policy-review workload, summer learning, tenure recommendations, and a farewell statement from the outgoing director.

  • 1:07:51 Board approved the May 1 regular-meeting minutes.

New Business / Agenda Items 1:23:40

JROTC Raider competition request 1:23:45

  • 1:23:58 The board considered a request to host a Raider competition on September 2.
  • 1:24:05 Event description included five events and participation from about eight schools already committed, with expected attendance around 150 students plus instructors and spectators.
  • 1:24:29 Organizers said the event would run roughly 7:00 to 15:00/16:00 and be arranged to avoid disrupting community traffic.
  • 1:25:07 Board approved the event request.

Meeting calendar and annual agenda 1:25:19

  • 1:25:26 Staff presented the annual schedule of board meeting dates.
  • 1:25:38 A member moved to remove “work session” from September 19 and make it a regular meeting instead, citing a heavy policy-review workload and the need to review roughly 287 board policies, some annually.
  • 1:26:07 Motion passed 7–0.
  • 1:26:25 On the annual agenda, a member moved to amend October’s officer election and move it to September, citing Board Policy 1.200 requiring election at the third regular meeting.
  • 1:27:49 Board approved the annual agenda as amended.

ESSER revision status / no action needed 1:28:20

  • 1:28:20 Staff said no ESSER revision action was needed because funds were still current and obligated.
  • 1:28:35 In discussion of summer meals, staff said the drive-up meal program is funded by a federal nutrition grant/program rather than local ESSER funds.

Tenure recommendations 1:29:30

  • 1:29:36 The board was presented a tenure list including Elizabeth Odom, Ashley Winner, Rachel Smith, Brandy Mayberry, Sandy Luna, Sarah Booker, Derek Hale, Sandra Paint, Chanel Bonan, Suzanne Lewis, and Justin Moore.
  • 1:30:01 Board approved the listed tenure recommendations.

Budget amendments 1:30:14

  • 1:30:20 Budget Amendment 34 in General Purpose School Fund 141 addressed pre-K expenditures and shifted additional money into textbook/curriculum line items to ensure sufficient purchasing authority.
  • 1:30:44 Budget Amendment 35 in Fund 142 revised ESSER 2 and ESSER 3 timing/categories without changing the overall ESSER program intent; purpose was to allow expenses to be recorded in the proper place and time.
  • 1:31:06 Budget Amendment 36 in Fund 141 set up the summer learning program budget using state-provided funding.
  • 1:31:26 Board approved Amendments 34, 35, and 36.
  • 1:31:46 Roll-call vote passed 7–0.

Year-end financial authority and reserves 1:31:52

  • 1:31:59 A resolution to grant authority to designate reserves was presented as an annual year-end action.
  • 1:32:16 A motion was made to authorize the executive committee, working with the state financial consultant, business office, finance director, and assistant director, to close out the financial books and make necessary budget amendments, with a report back to the full board next month.
  • 1:32:46 Motion passed 7–0.
  • 1:33:17 Staff then clarified a second, separate annual item: authority to designate reserves, distinct from closeout authority.
  • 1:34:05 Board approved the reserves authority after clarifying the two actions were separate.

School board attorney engagement 1:34:22

  • 1:34:35 Staff presented a recommendation to engage Scott Bennett as school board attorney through a letter of engagement.
  • 1:34:59 Members preferred to meet him in person before acting; staff said he had been scheduled to attend but had a family issue.
  • 1:35:44 Board voted to table the attorney-engagement item until the July 5 meeting.

Federal placeholder budgets 1:36:05

  • 1:36:10 Staff presented federal “placeholder” budgets for FY 2024, explaining these are temporary operating budgets used in July and August while prior-year federal books close with the state and carryover amounts are finalized.
  • 1:36:44 The consolidated federal budget included Title I, Title II, Title IV, Title V, IDEA Part B, and IDEA Pre-K.
  • 1:37:03 Separate placeholder budgets were also presented for the CTE Perkins Basic program and Project AWARE.
  • 1:37:22 Members asked what “placeholder” meant; staff explained it is not the final budget because federal programs run on a different fiscal calendar and state approval/closeout can take up to a month.
  • 1:38:24 Board approved the federal placeholder budgets.

Differentiated pay plan 1:39:28

  • 1:39:34 Board considered the 2023–24 differentiated pay plan.
  • 1:39:54 Earlier work-session discussion had covered its components: identified staff positions, payout timing and amounts, a performance component already tied to board policy, unchanged additional instructional roles/responsibilities, education differentials, and experience pay through 30 years.
  • 1:40:02 Board approved the differentiated pay plan.
  • 1:40:14 Roll-call vote passed 7–0.

Salary schedules 1:40:22

  • 1:40:35 Board considered 2023–24 salary schedules.
  • 1:40:49 A member asked for confirmation that schedules aligned with the budget previously approved; staff confirmed they did.
  • 1:41:15 One member declared a potential conflict of interest but stated the vote would be in the best interest of constituents and citizens.
  • 1:42:11 Salary schedules were approved 7–0.

TSSE membership renewal 1:43:13

  • 1:43:20 Membership renewal for TSSA/TSSE was discussed at length for the benefit of newer members.
  • 1:43:44 Guest Marlon Davis explained the organization’s roots in Hickman County and its role in the small-schools funding litigation beginning in 1988, subsequent BEP-related gains, and later intervention in Shelby/Davidson school-funding litigation to protect rural systems.
  • 1:48:25 He said Hickman County receives $240,878 annually in salary-equity money tied to these efforts and argued the dues are a tiny fraction of that benefit.
  • 1:49:36 He said the organization has 86 member districts, giving rural systems more leverage in Nashville than any one county would have alone.
  • 1:50:20 Discussion framed current dues as helping fund legal work to protect rural districts from large-system lawsuits that could reduce rural gains under state formulas.
  • 1:51:26 Board approved renewal after discussion; one member changed a vote from no to yes, and final result was 7–0.

Partial reroofing bids 1:53:06

  • 1:53:12 Staff presented bids opened for a partial reroof at East Hickman Intermediate and Centerville Intermediate.
  • 1:53:23 Project had been budgeted in capital outlay and was said to be within budget.
  • 1:53:29 Administration recommended Foam-Crete, Inc. as lowest bidder for a combined total of $230,000.
  • 1:53:35 Members raised concerns about persistent leaking at the intermediate school and whether the new work would finally solve the issue.
  • 1:55:00 Board approved Foam-Crete for the combined $230,000 bid.
  • 1:55:12 Roll-call vote passed 7–0.

Board office chair/wheelchair lift replacement 1:55:19

  • 1:55:24 Staff presented a quote of $56,500 to replace the chair/wheelchair lift at the Board of Education complex.
  • 1:55:32 Staff said this had not been in the capital budget, though unused money might remain from a paving project not completed.
  • 1:55:47 Members asked how long the lift had been nonfunctional; staff said it had worked in the past but failed this year and replacement was being recommended because the vendor would not warranty a partial repair using legacy parts.
  • 1:57:00 A member suggested relocating board meetings instead of paying for a new lift; discussion followed on whether the building still had ADA obligations even if meetings moved.
  • 1:57:24 Counsel/administration said accommodations could be made by meeting visitors downstairs and even moving the boardroom downstairs if needed, but members countered that the building itself still presented ADA risk.
  • 2:02:11 Members noted prior courthouse ADA problems and warned that one civil-rights complaint could create liability.
  • 2:02:44 A member reported there may be an identical lift in the old courthouse that could provide salvage parts, and another suggested re-engineering the electronics rather than full replacement.
  • 2:05:52 Motion to replace the lift for $56,500 received a second.
  • 2:07:00 After debate over cost, warranty, ADA compliance, and alternatives, the motion failed on a 3–3 split, with one absent; discussion ended with intent to revisit later and to explore repair options.

Fuel-management system / no bids 2:09:04

  • 2:09:10 Staff reported no bids were received for the fuel-management system.
  • 2:09:27 The first company contacted had estimated about $12,000 to $14,000 per site, plus an additional $10,000 component.
  • 2:10:37 Discussion described a key-fob/ID system that would tie fuel use to a vehicle and driver and track gallons, mileage, and reporting across diesel, gasoline, and propane sites.
  • 2:12:07 Members compared it to systems like Fuelman and asked for more vendor detail and documentation.
  • 2:12:11 Staff said options were to rebid or, since no bids came in, move to quotes and compare them; no final action was recorded here.

Golf course MOU 2:12:44

  • 2:12:50 Board considered the 2023–24 golf-course memorandum of understanding with the Town of Centerville.
  • 2:12:55 Staff said there were no changes from the prior year.
  • Earlier work-session discussion had explained that the fee lets the district close the course during matches and gives middle-school golfers low-cost access; younger golfers pay a small $5 fee or no fee up to roster limits, while high-school golfers obtain a junior pass because they use the course more heavily.
  • 2:13:01 Board approved the golf-course MOU.
  • 2:13:19 Roll-call vote passed 7–0.

Student representatives on the board 2:13:26

  • 2:13:38 A member proposed adding student representatives from each high school to join discussion, though not voting or financial deliberations.
  • 2:14:35 Staff noted the district already sends four students to the SCOPE conference each year and suggested that program could be used to identify student representatives.
  • 2:16:00 Discussion covered possible selection methods: using SCOPE participants, essays, resumes, class presidents, and whether service should run by semester or full year.
  • 2:16:58 Staff said a policy would be required and promised to circulate example TSBA policies for future consideration.
  • No vote was taken; item remained exploratory.

Pre-K textbook adoption 2:18:41

  • 2:18:47 Staff requested approval of the pre-K textbook/curriculum adoption.
  • 2:18:53 The state released the top three approved choices on May 23; these were shared with principals and teachers, who reviewed and voted.
  • 2:19:10 Staff recommended continuing Connect for Learning through Kaplan, which the district has used for almost five years.
  • 2:19:25 Curriculum was described as interdisciplinary, covering math, science, literacy, and behavior/social-skill development through the required pyramid model.
  • 2:20:30 Staff said the district is required by the Tennessee Department of Education to use an approved curriculum and that teacher/principal feedback was unanimous for retaining the current one.
  • 2:21:21 Members asked whether the district had a publisher statement on compliance with the state’s prohibited-concepts law; staff said she had requested one from the vendor but had not yet received it.
  • 2:22:15 Discussion emphasized that the statutory prohibition governs instruction, not just textbooks, and that teachers already receive annual training on what cannot be taught.
  • 2:25:00 Staff warned that timing mattered because pre-K funds are annual and implementation is expected in the fall.
  • 2:27:16 Cost was described as a little over $16,000 for voluntary pre-K, plus additional cost for special-education pre-K implementation, bringing the total to around $20,000+.
  • 2:28:27 One skeptical member said he would vote yes this time because it was pre-K, low-dollar relative to risk, staff had tried to secure the compliance letter, and he found no evident issue in review.
  • 2:29:51 Board approved the pre-K adoption, adding the title to the motion for clarity.
  • 2:30:12 Roll-call vote passed 7–0.

Policy 6.319 — alternative school grade span 2:30:24

  • 2:30:31 First reading proposed adding grades 1 through 12 to the alternative-school policy.
  • 2:30:55 Staff explained that the board had originally voted in October 2021 for grades 1–12, but the policy language later reverted during model-policy processing.
  • 2:31:35 Board approved Policy 6.319 on first reading.

Policy 3.218 — therapy/service dog policy 2:31:50

  • Earlier work-session discussion at 24:05 covered legal review of the dog policy. Board counsel wanted employee allergies addressed, stronger introductory language, and clearer procedures for who is responsible if the handler is absent.
  • 2:31:55 On the floor, a motion was made to postpone second reading of Policy 3.218 until those additions could be made.
  • 2:32:24 Board voted to postpone second reading.

Policy review set 6.400–6.4081 2:32:43

  • 2:32:54 Staff presented Policies 6.400 through 6.4081 for periodic review with TSBA-recommended changes.
  • 2:33:06 Board approved completion of the policy review set.

Copier lease agreement 2:33:22

  • 2:33:28 Staff presented a summary of an equipment lease proposal with RJ Young covering about 15 copiers at central office and schools.
  • 2:33:49 Current maintenance/service costs were averaging about $5,400 per month on aging machines.
  • 2:34:25 The proposed five-year lease would replace the fleet with new machines; staff said the district might not keep all 15 if some sites had low usage.
  • 2:34:40 Savings on maintenance alone were estimated at about $7,200 per year, with additional benefit from lower overage costs because old machines carry higher overage rates.
  • 2:35:02 Staff said the arrangement would piggyback a state contract negotiated through Metro Nashville Public Schools.
  • 2:35:48 Members asked whether overages were driven by teachers copying workbook pages instead of buying workbooks; staff said one goal was to monitor usage more often and address causes before year-end surprises.
  • 2:37:11 Coverage levels in the lease were increasing substantially, including black-and-white monthly volume from about 443,950 to 735,000 copies and color from 12,500 to 20,650.
  • 2:38:39 Members also asked whether increased printing tied to online materials for younger students had been considered; staff said the expanded copy allotments should help.
  • 2:39:04 Board approved the RJ Young lease.
  • 2:39:28 Roll-call vote passed unanimously.

Exterior doors and windows project 2:39:49

  • 2:39:57 Staff said the district had previously bid exterior door and window replacement for elementary and middle schools but received no bids; management then sought quotes/proposals.
  • 2:40:15 One quote was received for about $1.38 million covering three schools only.
  • 2:40:29 Because the contractor’s state license capped projects at $1.7 million, the quote excluded East Hickman Elementary; the proposal broke out roughly $886,000 for Centerville Elementary, $383,000 for Hickman County Middle, and $397,000 for East Hickman Middle.
  • 2:41:44 Staff said this would be an ESSER 3 project; members asked whether energy savings and the state’s school-security/window-film requirements had been factored in.
  • 2:42:20 Discussion noted that replacing exterior glass would trigger state law requiring security film, but the film cost was still uncertain and additional state school-security funds were expected to become available in July.
  • 2:43:31 Members worried about letting the contractor effectively choose which school was omitted; others argued it made sense to maximize the number of schools improved with finite ESSER funds, especially since East Hickman Elementary is older, more expensive, and raises broader long-term facility questions.
  • 2:47:43 Staff estimated about $2.3 million remained in the relevant ESSER line and said further revisions or under-budget closeouts could free more money later for East Hickman Elementary.
  • 2:49:57 Debate contrasted spending deeply on one aging school versus covering three schools now and revisiting East later with state grant support and any ESSER underruns.
  • 2:52:52 Board approved proceeding with the three-school doors-and-windows project as quoted.
  • 2:53:28 Roll-call vote passed 7–0.

Engineering contract for fire alarm replacement 2:53:36

  • 2:53:49 Staff presented an electrical engineering design contract with Intec related to fire-alarm replacement at East Hickman Intermediate School.
  • 2:54:03 The fixed fee was $25,750 for design, construction documents, bidding assistance/shop drawing review, and observation during construction.
  • 2:54:39 Members clarified this was design/engineering only, not the actual installation work.
  • 2:54:46 Board approved the contract.
  • 2:54:54 Roll-call vote passed 7–0.

School lunch charge reimbursement 2:55:08

  • 2:55:14 Staff presented a handwritten list of remaining school lunch charges.
  • 2:55:33 Administration proposed using line item 141-72100-30344 (“payments to schools and others”), budgeted at $10,000 per school, to reimburse schools for unpaid meal charges, after which schools would still continue collection efforts.
  • 2:56:25 A member asked why East Hickman Middle was not on the list; staff said that school’s debt was already low, likely because office staff had been aggressive in notices and collections.
  • 2:57:14 Another anecdote noted schools had communicated charges directly to families, even for very small balances such as 35 cents.
  • 2:58:20 Staff clarified this would not erase the family debt; it would cover the school account now while the district continued trying to collect.
  • 2:58:43 Board approved reimbursing the schools for lunch charges.
  • 2:59:04 Roll-call vote passed 7–0.

Policies 3.600 and 5.102 — health insurance eligibility for part-time employees 2:59:17

  • Earlier work-session discussion beginning at 9:50 covered the relationship between Policy 3.600, a benefits resolution, and changes needed to allow part-time employees to participate in health insurance. Staff said county commission and state benefits administration would need the formal resolution, and discussion clarified that the immediate budgeted benefit was for bus drivers and school-nutrition personnel, with a board-paid single-employee plan estimated at about $40,000 for nutrition staff and about $15,000 for bus drivers, though more people were eligible than expected to enroll.
  • 2:59:24 On the floor, the board took up the policy changes and related resolution.
  • 2:59:46 For Policy 3.600, members moved to strike “full-time” so the policy would authorize group health insurance for all employees rather than only full-time employees.
  • 3:00:03 The motion also waived second reading to expedite implementation for eligible part-time staff.
  • 3:00:26 Board approved the change.
  • 3:00:33 For Policy 5.102, members moved to strike the sentence stating insurance benefits are not available to part-time employees except as recommended by the director and approved by the board.
  • 3:00:55 The board again waived the usual multi-reading process.
  • 3:01:33 Discussion clarified that these changes were intended to open insurance eligibility for part-time employees such as bus drivers and cafeteria personnel.
  • 3:01:58 The board then acted on the formal resolution, directing that it be sent to the county commission and amended to include the state’s required language.
  • 3:02:39 Board approved the resolution transmission and amendment.

Announcements 3:03:05

  • 3:03:10 Members discussed TSBA training opportunities and registration logistics; staff said board members should notify the office so fees and portal registration can be handled centrally.
  • 3:05:42 The outgoing director delivered a farewell statement, thanking the board, staff, families, and community for support over seven years as director and more broadly highlighting system accomplishments: up to 24 hours of college credit available in high school at no cost, more than 15 programs of study with industry credentials, strong third-grade reading results, and navigating the pandemic and repeated operational disruptions.
  • 3:10:20 A member asked that the director’s written letter be made part of the official minutes; the board agreed.

Adjournment 3:11:28

  • 3:11:28 Board adjourned.
