Notes on procedural context: multiple items were introduced in planning sessions and returned for board action on Feb. 7. Several votes referenced documents in the board packet (bid tabs, finance statements, policy redlines). In some cases staff noted follow-up tasks (e.g., seeking county commission approval for the roof award, distributing therapy-dog consent forms, placing orders for SourceWell lighting).

The board used standard motions and seconds throughout the meeting; where the transcript records counts it most often records a 6-aye vote for approvals. Items with contingent approvals (roof bid contingent on county commission) were explicitly noted as contingent in board motions and recorded in the meeting minutes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Dickson Co Board of Edu.

District staff presented a bid tab showing Dixie Roofing as the low bidder at $1,435,935. Staff noted the contract contains a $5-per-linear-foot allowance for wood nailers if damaged decking is discovered when the old roof is removed; that allowance had been included in the project's contingency. A board member raised that Dixie Roofing had initially omitted a criminal background check form from its bid packet; staff said that omission was treated as a technicality and the missing document was provided within an hour and accepted as complete after review.

Board discussion touched on the district's prequalification process for bidders and why the district uses a request-for-qualifications process to limit bids to firms judged qualified to perform the work. The administration recommended awarding to the low, prequalified bidder. A motion to approve the award was made with the added condition that the county commission approve use of reserves; the motion carried. The transcript shows the board debated whether available project funds would be sufficient and noted design fees and other contingencies would reduce the district's remaining balance in the referenced fund.

Staff said the district had approximately $1,276,006.76 remaining in the referenced fund (the \"177\" account) at the time of the meeting; staff also flagged that other contingent expenses and design fees may consume a portion of that balance. The board did not authorize spending beyond the contingency condition tied to county commission approval.","The board voted to accept Dixie Roofing's low bid for the Stuart Burns roof replacement, but members added a condition that the award be contingent on county commission approval of reserve funds; transcript notes a $1,435,935 low bid and a $5/linear-foot allowance for wood nailers built into contingency.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6660086,"Board approves new lighting for three Dickson County sports fields, declines color option",414,4056000,4470000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2438049-e6391dba543373e077041735e8085b51&start=4056&end=4470","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2438049-e6391dba543373e077041735e8085b51/thumbnail_4056000.jpg","/articles/6660086/Tennessee/Board-approves-new-lighting-for-three-Dickson-County-sports-fields-declines-color-option","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660086-d4e0d24b9a2f527bc1ff679cf95783bd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770587468&Signature=CN00aoMsbrXGOi-URqE29LppECFBbi3ZVkLfVgZylmQ~kkACLOZ0Xb5AX0Vz5w3nukqgEAxfn3gsTDehqk-oasYWXlhLaEDwBh9F5ka2zdB7o9gCsiQKjgllurI~TYo6vtpYHn9S6jY2SvSp7rRbgI4YHD-zhDs-Jbezfy9yKDlBSllMpP47ybT4g1vgh0~hoMkoY6FDCqXyAH4GDT8KffuifTH5fhnQjv2WGZIoOfVdPc7Wuhg23kO6aq4UIrrJHdv2MQHnRCdqz6w-YBIBTl164E5p-F2SBIKAVcunUEBN67uJyJf-WSreUPV3Vjs6VjmeGc0Bl3w7NtTsE~tYOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dickson County School Board voted Feb. 7 to purchase new lighting for three district sports fields using a SourceWell procurement price, approving standard (non-color) fixtures for the high-school football complex, the high-school soccer field and Dixon Middle School.

District staff told the board ordering the lights now is critical to avoid project delays. SourceWell provided prices in vendor quotes presented to the board: $259,000 for the high-school football field (district sports complex), $124,600 for the existing high-school soccer field, and $189,000 for Dixon Middle School. A $30,000 adder for custom color lighting was presented; the board voted to approve the standard lights without the color option.

During discussion, staff explained that the Dixon Middle School installation would likely require additional wiring work beyond simply replacing fixtures, which is reflected in the higher SourceWell price for that site. Board members noted the middle-school field had multiple failed fixtures and could not be repaired in time for the season without replacement.

A motion to approve purchase of all three lighting packages without the color option passed; the transcript records a 6-aye vote on the motion. Staff said they will proceed with ordering and scheduling the installations to minimize season delays. The funding source for the purchases was discussed as part of the existing project scope; no new bond or long-term financing was approved at the meeting.","The board approved ordering lights for three district sports fields — the high school football complex, the high-school soccer field and Dixon Middle School — using vendor SourceWell pricing; board declined a $30,000 color-lighting option.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6660090,"Dickson County School Board approves therapy dog program addition for 'Mia'",211,3084000,3295000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2438049-e6391dba543373e077041735e8085b51&start=3084&end=3295","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2438049-e6391dba543373e077041735e8085b51/thumbnail_3084000.jpg","/articles/6660090/Tennessee/Dickson-County-School-Board-approves-therapy-dog-program-addition-for-Mia","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660090-1daf14cf2a7e0c11b5ecca7ae20a9e7c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770587468&Signature=d7v4tAHg~UuiPd4hmF0Y38ZWw3oQcDlS0uscwziSJImH26C2U6AbqyYph12MLNecDUtX8nArJIWk4sCzMojbOAL-SdcVpy8r9VXPWclPGIofnAo7DCEsHhjSAcQ2dqZf6UQhy~NrlEazR4R0hMp7L20-PhaPhri5oY9G35QxyOWgUOKgp75SWwoHJjrMffBd20gU9VZXILp1r0Fv3Yc-R-FhRcjpJtfnV5ujL4xU87G9BvXAvchqTJd7LlRvoCDNrNSdBzHAwzD~i99zn-MWZ3n5hW0pZC2l0vSsceMkOpNsdhtherkdIOZDSel3z~NItAESLbC0rVPHqYlC2rjC2w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dickson County School Board on Feb. 7 approved adding a certified therapy dog, Mia, to the district's therapy-dog program and directed staff to distribute the student participation consent form to families so Mia can begin visits before the end of the school year.

Staff presented a letter, the student participation consent form and proof of Mia's certification and insurance. The administration said wording in the letter had been adjusted following prior board discussion and that the district would notify families promptly if the board approved.

Board members moved and seconded approval of the program letter and participation form and the motion carried. The record shows the district intends to begin school visits as soon as family consent is obtained and scheduling allows.

Discussion at the meeting focused on ensuring the consent form and program letter reflected earlier board feedback and that the dog's certifications and insurance were on file. No public comment on the item was recorded.

The approval is administrative: staff will distribute the materials, collect consent forms from families and schedule Mia's initial visits. No changes to district policy were proposed at the meeting; the board voted only to authorize the program participation and the related consent materials for distribution to families.","The Dickson County School Board approved adding a certified therapy dog, Mia, to the district's therapy dog program after staff presented a participation letter, consent form and proof of certification; board directed distribution of consent materials to families.","actionData","errors"]
