During a recent meeting of the Murfreesboro City Schools Board, members observed a moment of silence in memory of Butch Campbell, the board chairman who recently lost his son. The board then moved on to discuss various agenda items, including the use of school facilities by external organizations.

Dr. Sullivan raised concerns regarding the inconsistency in policies governing the rental of school facilities, noting that some schools charge for athletic facilities while others do not. The board acknowledged the need for a comprehensive review and update of the existing policy, which has not been revised in many years. A request was made for the policy number to facilitate further examination.

The board also addressed three requests for out-of-county student transfers, all involving disciplinary issues. The first student, who faced disciplinary action for possession of a THC vape, was recommended for admission to an alternative school. The second student, who threatened mass violence, was recommended for denial of admission. The third student, who possessed a weapon other than a firearm, was also recommended for admission to an alternative school.

Additionally, the board discussed the upcoming evaluation tool for the director of schools, emphasizing the importance of establishing specific and measurable criteria in compliance with the director's contract. The evaluation tool is set to be finalized in the coming weeks to avoid non-compliance with contractual obligations.
