Public comment centered on a personnel controversy at East Hickman High School: a grandparent criticized a teacher’s communication about her grandchild, and the teacher later said he had been told he would not be brought back as theater teacher despite positive evaluations, no write-ups, and a newly approved limited license extension. The board did not engage the substance during public comment, but the issue framed the meeting’s sharpest public tension.

Most board action involved annual June governance and staffing matters: tenure approvals, salary schedules, differentiated pay, year-end budget authority, federal placeholder budgets, personnel reports, a golf-course MOU, a driver’s education car purchase, playground fencing, and floor encapsulation work. The most extended policy discussion concerned the board’s nepotism policy versus state law; members generally favored revisiting the stricter local language, especially where it interferes with staffing, but tabled any action until July. Other notable threads included football and student-competition travel, teacher permits and staffing shortages, a closed school-safety briefing to be scheduled, bus radio failures during tornado conditions, and recovery of $16,000 in bus-damage litigation.

Public Comments 14:16

14:24 Public speakers

  • 14:42 A grandparent spoke against an East Hickman High School teacher’s continued involvement, saying he sent an email to her granddaughter’s boyfriend’s grandparents about the granddaughter, whom she described as part of the gay community and known at school by a different name.
  • 15:54 She argued the teacher improperly involved himself in student conflict, repeated unproven claims that the students started rumors about him, and communicated concerns to someone other than the student’s family.
  • 16:36 She called the communication “massively unprofessional” and said she hoped the drama program continues next year but under a teacher she considers more professional.
  • 17:05 A teacher identifying himself as the person discussed said he would not defend the disputed text/message during his time.
  • 17:22 He said he was relieved of theater-teaching duties on May 19 at East Hickman High School and, although he had previously worked under a permit renewed annually, was told this year the district would seek another teacher and was “not asking” him to return.
  • 17:54 He said the decision meeting included the superintendent and school administrators and that, when he asked why he was not being rehired, he was told the district was not obligated to give a reason.
  • 18:25 He defended his record: rebuilding a struggling theater program, filling classes, helping students with college, scholarships, jobs, enlistment, and creating a journalism/live-stream effort he said was the district’s first.
  • 20:10 He said his evaluations over three years were mostly 4s and 5s, with some 3s, and that he had no write-ups; he acknowledged one prior conversation about monologue content after a parent complaint.
  • 21:07 He added that the state had approved a limited license allowing him to continue for 2 more years and asked why he was not being brought back, arguing that silence allows rumors to harden into assumed fact.
  • 21:37 He said the unanswered rumors affect his standing in the community, where he mentors students inside and outside school; no board response followed during this segment.

30:34 East Hickman High School football camp

  • 30:43 Request approved for East Hickman High School football camp at Camp Marymount/Mariball from July 21–24.
  • 31:06 Because it is an overnight trip, board approval was required; administration said the team has attended for several years.

31:26 Hickman County High School football camp

  • 31:42 New coach Pat Smith said the original camp dates of July 28–31 conflicted with in-service days.
  • 31:57 He asked for flexibility while seeking alternate dates and possibly another location because Camp Marymount/Mariball could not adjust dates.
  • 32:03 He argued the camp is important for team building, establishing culture, reinforcing effort/accountability/leadership, and setting expectations under a new coaching staff.
  • 33:31 The trip request was approved despite unresolved final dates/location.

33:42 HOSA/FCCLA national competition trip

  • 33:50 A school sponsor sought approval to take 2 national competitors to Orlando, the first such representation since 2019.
  • 34:07 Travel plan: leave on the 5th, competition on the 6th and 7th, awards on the 9th, return on the 10th.
  • 34:30 Trip approved.

Board meeting schedule 34:45

  • 35:03 The board approved the 2025–2026 meeting calendar.
  • 35:10 Most meetings remain on the first Monday, but dates after fall break, Christmas break, and spring break were shifted to give staff more time to prepare packets after returning from closures.

Annual agenda 36:25

  • 36:30 The annual agenda, describing expected recurring actions by month, was approved for 2025–2026.

Tenure recommendations 37:20

  • 37:37 Administration said the listed teachers had completed at least 5 years in the district or had returned and requalified.
  • 37:52 Tenure was recommended for Zack Bentley, Shelby Hoover, Brandy Warren, Amy Johnston, Brooke Rogers, Savannah Barber, Valerie Gonzalez, Rebecca Sorenson, Landry Wade, Penny Wilson, Lyn Anderson, Christen Dunn, and Megan Evans.
  • 38:14 Motion approved by roll-call vote, unanimously among members present.

Fund-balance classification resolution 38:45

  • 38:56 Administration said GASB 54 requires district funds to be classified into 5 categories: non-spendable, restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned.
  • 39:21 The annual resolution authorizing the director and finance staff to classify funds accordingly was approved by roll call.

Year-end authority to close financial books 40:07

  • 40:16 Administration requested authority to make any small budget amendments needed before books close on June 30, with amendments to be presented afterward in July.
  • 40:42 Example given: shifting money between fuel lines such as diesel and gasoline if needed before county finance closeout.
  • 41:25 Request approved by roll call.

Proposed differentiated pay plan 41:49

  • 41:59 Administration said Tennessee allows a differentiated pay plan to help recruit and retain staff.
  • 42:08 The hiring-incentive portion allows up to about $4,000-plus; administration said incentives are typically around $4,000, with a listed range of $1,000 to $5,000, for hard-to-fill positions such as secondary math, secondary English, foreign language, counselors, and special education.
  • 42:40 Administration said $84,000 is budgeted for those recruitment incentives.
  • 42:55 The plan also includes mentor supplements for new teachers.
  • 43:03 Social-emotional liaisons serving struggling students were described as a $55,000 cost.
  • 43:20 Teachers earning effectiveness level 4 or 5 on evaluations receive a performance bonus, with $25,000 budgeted.
  • 43:49 Plan approved by roll call.

Salary schedules and pay scales 44:12

  • 44:23 Certified personnel were said to be receiving a 4.5% raise.
  • 44:30 Support personnel were said to be receiving a flat $1,500 raise; administration argued this exceeds 4.5% for lower-paid roles such as assistants and cafeteria workers.
  • 44:47 Example offered: a support employee making $20,000 would receive only $900 under a 4.5% increase, which is $600 less than the flat raise.
  • 45:00 Administration said the district is compelled by law to reach a $50,000 starting teacher salary by next year.
  • 45:09 After this year’s increase, the starting teacher salary would be $47,924, and administration said another 4.5% next year should reach the statutory floor.
  • 45:40 Salary schedules for all employee categories were approved by roll call.

Personnel decisions report 46:01

  • 46:11 Administration said the annual June personnel report identifies renewals, tenure grants, resignations, and non-renewals.
  • 46:20 Members had 9 reports: one systemwide and one for each of the district’s 8 schools.
  • 46:43 The report was described as public record.
  • 46:50 Personnel decisions report approved by roll call.
  • 57:00 During later discussion, administration noted Danny Pope is moving out of state, and at Hickman County High School the district would seek a part-time driver’s education teacher after Mr. Parent’s retirement, which administration said would produce savings.

Memorandum of Understanding: Centerville Municipal Golf Course 47:49

  • 47:56 Administration said the MOU is unchanged from prior years.
  • 48:06 The district pays $8,000 to Centerville Municipal Golf Course so both middle schools’ and both high schools’ golf teams can use the facilities.
  • 48:35 MOU approved by roll call.

Tennessee School Systems for Equity membership 48:52

  • 49:04 Administration recommended renewing membership in Tennessee School Systems for Equity, described as a consortium that advocates for smaller and rural systems and seeks more equitable state funding.
  • 49:36 The annual dues were stated as $3,293.
  • 49:44 Administration said the organization had historically done valuable work, including past litigation that increased funding for smaller rural districts.
  • 49:56 A board member argued the group had produced little recently, that its efforts were hampered politically, and said he did not intend to vote for paying dues while the district is financially tight.
  • 51:43 Administration defended the organization’s role amid a statewide push toward privatization and referenced a new Tennessee law allowing families to apply for money to attend approved private schools.
  • 51:58 Administration said the group nearly advanced a bill this year that would have brought additional funding, but it failed to get out of committee.
  • 53:21 A board member asked whether the district could decline now and rejoin later without penalty if a need arose.
  • 53:39 Because the board did not know the rejoining consequences and the current membership expires June 30, members debated timing.
  • 55:20 The membership renewal was tabled so staff could determine whether there is any penalty or barrier to rejoining later.

Driver’s education car purchase 55:59

  • 56:11 Administration requested approval to buy a fleet 2024 Chevrolet Malibu from the state contract list for East Hickman High School.
  • 56:29 The justification was that East Hickman High School has not had a driver’s education car in about 20 years.
  • 56:43 Administration said Nick Bentley would teach PE and driver’s education at East Hickman High School after Danny Pope’s move out of state.
  • 57:15 Funding would come from available transportation budget lines by shifting money among subcategories.
  • 57:34 The quoted price was $23,748.80 off state contract.
  • 57:47 Administration said it was the final model year for the Malibu and noted Hickman County High School’s existing Malibu bought last year would remain in use there.
  • 58:12 Administration added that the retirement of Mr. Parent at Hickman County High School would allow the district to seek a part-time driver’s education teacher, creating savings while adding the East Hickman car.
  • 58:36 Purchase approved by roll call.

Maintenance bids 58:59

59:08 Playground fencing

  • 59:15 Administration said the capital plan includes fencing around the Centerville Elementary and Centerville Intermediate playgrounds, the only district playgrounds without fencing.
  • 59:30 The district argued the fence is a student-safety measure because the playgrounds border a heavily used walking trail.
  • 59:40 Administration also cited instances of children bolting toward the Duck River, saying fencing may help slow and contain them.
  • 59:55 The budget set aside $30,000.
  • 59:55 Langford Fence Company was the low bidder at $26,250.
  • 1:00:08 Administration noted a local firm, Tennessee Valley, picked up bid documents but did not submit a bid.
  • 1:00:38 Bid award approved by roll call.

1:01:03 Epoxy floor encapsulation

  • 1:01:10 Administration said older 8x8 floor tiles in rooms at the two elementary schools would be encapsulated with epoxy flooring.
  • 1:01:18 The district said it had used epoxy successfully in a lunchroom and considers encapsulation to be in its best interest for aging tile.
  • 1:01:28 The budget set aside $60,000.
  • 1:01:28 Garage Floor Coating of Nashville submitted the bid structure.
  • 1:01:37 Bid pricing was stated as $5.25 per square foot for the first 1,000 square feet, $5.00 per square foot for 1,000–3,000 square feet, and $4.90 per square foot for over 3,000 square feet.
  • 1:01:55 Administration said the projects would exceed 3,000 square feet, so the lowest unit rate would apply.
  • 1:02:17 Bid approved by roll call.

Budget amendments 1:02:39

1:02:53 Amendments 35–38

  • 1:03:02 Budget Amendment 35 added annual TCAT revenue from the Hohenwald and Dickson centers for students receiving credit; amount stated as $75,000.
  • 1:03:25 Budget Amendment 36 covered several changes:
    • 1:03:32 More special education spending for private agency contracts than originally expected.
    • 1:03:49 Moving money to purchase textbooks as part of a summer science textbook revamp.
    • 1:04:06 A $1,000 transportation adjustment to add another fuel tank at East Middle School.
  • 1:04:10 Administration explained the second tank required knocking out a wall and replacing both fuel tanks.
  • 1:04:24 Administration said the district fuels both at the central site and behind East Middle School, and tank problems occurred at both places.
  • 1:04:40 A fuel vendor, Mr. Owens, was said to have “cut us a deal,” tied to the district’s fuel purchases.
  • 1:05:00 Budget Amendment 37 aligned the books with already state-approved ATSI funding.
  • 1:05:08 Budget Amendment 38 funded the driver’s education car purchase approved earlier; administration clarified the cost would be about $23,000, not $28,000.
  • 1:05:30 Amendments 35–38 approved by roll call.

Federal placeholder budgets 1:05:54

  • 1:06:01 Administration presented federal “placeholder” budgets for the coming year, including consolidated administration, Perkins V basic, and ATSI.
  • 1:06:09 Staff said the figures are expected amounts and may change by October when the federal cycle is more certain.
  • 1:06:23 Any later increase or decrease would return to the board as a budget amendment.
  • 1:06:37 Administration explained the federal fiscal year ends September 30 while Tennessee’s ends June 30, so placeholders bridge July through September.
  • 1:07:07 Placeholder budgets approved by roll call.

Board policies for review 1:07:47

  • 1:07:55 Policy updates expected from a TSBA webinar were not yet ready; administration said changes would be brought in July.
  • 1:08:02 If any policy must be in place before school starts in August, administration said the board could waive a second reading in July.
  • 1:08:21 Policies 6.300–6.3101 were presented for review and approved as review items.

Nepotism policy discussion and tabling 1:08:52

  • 1:08:52 Administration raised the district’s nepotism policy for discussion, saying current board policy is stricter than state law and has complicated staffing.
  • 1:09:10 Staff summarized state law: when a board member has a relative employed by the district and matters involving money, tenure, or personnel policy come up, the member may still vote after disclosing the relationship and stating the vote is in the district’s best interest.
  • 1:09:54 The director also described the state-law notice requirement when intending to employ a relative of an elected county official and the requirement to publicly state that the person is qualified by training and licensure.
  • 1:11:00 Administration highlighted the state-law concern that relatives should not work in the same line of supervision and should be transferred if feasible.
  • 1:12:01 The director said the local policy is “much stricter” than state law and, in a county where many people are related, has “haunted” district staffing.
  • 1:13:22 He pointed to board-policy language barring initial employment of anyone related to a board member or the director and said district counsel considers the part requiring the board to vote on such hires legally doubtful because Tennessee law gives hiring and nonrenewal authority to the director, not the board.
  • 1:16:04 Administration said the same-line-of-supervision issue can prevent otherwise useful assignments or promotions and proposed a more practical principle: a relative should not evaluate another relative.
  • 1:17:43 The staffing context was emphasized: enrollment of students with exceptionalities is rising, the district has close to 600 such students—about 1 in 5—and hard-to-fill roles such as school psychologist are difficult to staff.
  • 1:18:20 Another example involved a prospective teacher whose aunt is an assistant principal; current policy can block otherwise workable staffing.
  • 1:19:35 Board members said the stricter policy arose from prior criticism and prior problems with relatives in the same building or supervision chain.
  • 1:20:45 Several members said they remain opposed to a principal or assistant principal supervising a relative, even if someone else formally evaluates that person, because of perceived influence and conflict concerns.
  • 1:24:18 Some members said the first section of the policy—especially the blanket no-hire language and board vote mechanism—was too harsh for a district this size.
  • 1:24:47 Administration said the district currently has 30 teachers working under permits or waivers; those educators must be non-renewed annually as part of the permit/waiver process, and many are local hires the district wants flexibility to keep.
  • 1:27:22 Members reviewed prior history: a 2023 policy revision had become more restrictive, while an earlier version had been loosened to preserve a $500,000 HVAC grant by allowing a uniquely qualified instructor to work under a modified supervision arrangement.
  • 1:29:24 Members recalled that solution involved shifting who handled evaluation/supervision so the district could retain the grant-backed HVAC program and a certified teacher.
  • 1:33:45 The board clarified that its immediate concern was not the state-law notice provisions but the local language effectively putting the board into hiring decisions by roll-call vote.
  • 1:38:39 Several members expressed support for moving closer to state law while keeping protections against relatives being in direct supervisory lines.
  • 1:38:47 No policy change was adopted at this meeting because the item was discussion only in practical effect.
  • 1:41:07 The board formally tabled Policy 1.308 until the July meeting for possible revised language.

Announcements 1:41:32

  • 1:41:32 The next regular board meeting will be July 7, 2025; members clarified that date had already been approved through the annual meeting calendar.
  • 1:43:17 Administration said the timeline for the director of schools evaluation matches last year’s process and should allow results to be returned in time for the July packet.
  • 1:43:51 The board also plans a self-evaluation, described as a useful review of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
  • 1:44:21 Administration briefly said the district needs to improve enrollment.

School Safety and Operational Updates 1:44:38

1:44:38 Legislative representative / safety meeting request

  • 1:44:53 A board member said Becky Maloji/Malugin (name uncertain) asked for a set meeting with the board on school safety.
  • 1:45:01 Members said the session would not be open to the public because it concerns school safety and detailed response plans.
  • 1:45:05 They stated there is a legal code provision allowing a confidential or executive session for such a briefing.
  • 1:46:17 The board discussed scheduling it before or after a future meeting, with one member unavailable on July 7.
  • 1:47:10 Administration noted the request for such a meeting had come from a board member and welcomed that the safety director wanted to conduct it.
  • 1:47:19 A member said she was attending a training the next week on school safety and hoped to bring back updated information.

1:47:38 Mock disaster drill and radio problems

  • 1:47:44 Administration said a mock school disaster exercise had recently been held at East Hickman Middle School.
  • 1:47:52 Participating agencies included Homeland Security, Williamson County Sheriff’s Department, Hickman County Sheriff’s Department, Centerville Police Department, volunteer fire departments, and the ambulance service.
  • 1:48:05 Staff said the exercise revealed lessons learned and underscored the need for more practice.
  • 1:48:25 Administration said county agencies have switched to a new radio vendor and that the school system likely needs to be on the same company/platform for compatibility.
  • 1:48:48 During the tornado event, 4 buses did not receive the message to return to school.
  • 1:49:12 The failure was attributed to electricity being out to the repeater and a generator being out of propane.
  • 1:49:25 Administration said bus communication remains difficult in heavily wooded and hollowed parts of the county, and improvements are being pursued.

1:50:02 Bus crash litigation

  • 1:50:02 Administration reported on a school bus wreck from last October in which a driver hit a bus and caused $16,000 in damage.
  • 1:50:10 The district’s insurance cooperative paid the district; the driver failed to reimburse the insurer.
  • 1:50:19 Because coverage is through a school-district cooperative rather than a private insurer, the cooperative sued the driver.
  • 1:50:35 Administration said the insurer won in court and the driver is supposed to repay $16,000.
  • 1:50:44 Staff remarked that the insurer’s lawyer was trying his first case; no board action was required.

Adjournment 1:51:18

  • Motion to adjourn approved.
