District staff said packet materials include projected kindergarten counts (not yet enrolled) and school-by-school enrollments used to assess capacity and the effects of recent rezoning. The presenter said rezoning had proceeded smoothly overall and that the changes were intended to relieve crowding in certain schools, particularly in the White House cluster and at Crestview Elementary.

The presenter noted that kindergarten numbers are projections and that attrition, transfers and final registration will affect final counts. He said rezoning helped avoid involuntary transfers and that staffing attrition rather than forced moves had been the primary balancing mechanism.

Board members asked for time to review particular school impacts and for follow-up contact with families affected by zone changes. The presenter said the graphic enrollment charts in the packet make it possible to compare school sizes and that staff will continue to monitor enrollment and report back as necessary.

No formal action was taken; the presentation was part of the director’s report and informational packet items.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Rob. Co.

A district presenter read the rough allocations from the packet: a consolidated allocation of about $296,000; Title I at $1,600,000; two Title III allocations at $404,000 and $165,000; IDEA (special education) at $2,900,000; and a preschool allocation of roughly $90,000. Taken together, the amounts read aloud total approximately $5.46 million.

The presenter said federal program staff and special-education and CTE staff will manage the detailed budgets and asked that the board approve the budgets as an entire package. \"As you know, that's, flow in money from the federal programs, our various CTE, special education, and federal programming staff manage those budgets, and so we would ask for approval of each 1 of those budgets and what they represent,\" the presenter said.

A motion to approve the consolidated federal budgets was made and the board voted to approve the package by a 4–0 vote.

The approval authorizes district staff to finalize the detailed budget documents consistent with the packet and to proceed with program management and reporting required by federal grant rules. The meeting record does not show any changes to the amounts at the June 9 vote; the presenter noted detailed budgets accompany each allocation in the packet.","The Robertson County School Board approved the district’s FY26 federal consolidated funding allocations, including Title I, multiple Title III allocations, IDEA special education funds and pre-K allocations.",{"_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},6208113,"Board sets August planning session to interview architects as timeline aims for July 2027 school occupancy",778,2948000,3726000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3749723-3ae2c1f2ef1c43a69e80df460a6d2748&start=2948&end=3726","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3749723-3ae2c1f2ef1c43a69e80df460a6d2748/thumbnail_2948000.jpg","/articles/6208113/Tennessee/Board-sets-August-planning-session-to-interview-architects-as-timeline-aims-for-July-2027-school-occupancy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208113-58f09abf6aeca19f00323573d4f99957/orig.mp4?Expires=1770896365&Signature=FilILCxc-Is7wJLjE5bYworc4eAbKJSwOtw3CkTAp642PLh3Kjp1EjB~ht1EctHlUncriCl3ZvT3QBmXZ1Jwm1QUUtOEOShWUu~~CNRTGC5uLAo-XfMwlMKaNfIBTNfUpj0wtHrLrmUOMQX2O1P1M5Ypt7GdOESAlXpGnbiuQPpbzJUpy~FYVoqY9ycLvKOz9-ADKY-svB90h8QY9t3cHZAVNfjc~MNJhv2xyT2Pb8Ub6x0AaKffEoiikzg0SyPUqgubI~ZKcusOqvHDvKrxoYFxW1CE6xLfvO2MZULM71Tzqa8Yh5GTx8q0btyNzcjQTznQtfR~E1F45VKYzCgXLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Robertson County School Board on June 9 approved a motion to hold a planning session in August for architect presentations and discussion after staff presented a timeline that would target a July 2027 occupancy for a new White House school.

District staff, working with construction manager Hewlett Spencer, told the board that a well-planned middle-school project would require roughly four to five months of design and about 16 months of construction. The timeline in the packet showed an occupancy goal in July 2027, plus a month for move-in ahead of the school year.

Staff described site constraints in Springfield: the district has not identified an available, buildable parcel at Springfield High School and noted challenging topography and utility easements on candidate properties. Hewlett Spencer is conducting geotechnical testing on one prospective site in Springfield; the district allocated up to $16,000 for that testing.

On the White House side, staff said the back of the White House Heritage High School property on Pinson Road was the most feasible site and that a three-story footprint had been discussed for grade stacking. Staff suggested inviting five architects with a track record in school design to make 30-minute presentations, with Hewlett Spencer available to ask technical questions.

The board approved setting an August planning session to hear architect presentations and to move forward with selection planning. A board motion to set the meeting passed unanimously.

Board members discussed the cost trade-offs of duplicating a building design across sites versus site-specific site-work costs; staff said duplicating plans can save architect fees but that site work sometimes offsets those savings. The board asked staff to begin developing preliminary site plans and cost outlines to understand future capital needs.

No final contract or budget was approved at the June 9 meeting; the action authorized staff to schedule architect presentations and continue site testing and planning work.","District staff presented design and construction timelines for proposed middle schools, recommending architect selection in August 2025 to meet a July 2027 occupancy target for a White House school; the board approved scheduling a planning session to hear architect presentations.",{"_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},6208117,"School board tables exam-exemption pilot after concerns over consistency and chronic illness exemptions",717,1750000,2467000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3749723-3ae2c1f2ef1c43a69e80df460a6d2748&start=1750&end=2467","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3749723-3ae2c1f2ef1c43a69e80df460a6d2748/thumbnail_1750000.jpg","/articles/6208117/Tennessee/School-board-tables-exam-exemption-pilot-after-concerns-over-consistency-and-chronic-illness-exemptions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208117-6f090b8779e234286bfe514eb6a5b21b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770896365&Signature=AlqHStsDzINCFcT1L9b8DagBIbKUBb~5J7F-xsrEul3fPAclAHGmuXxLFtIyet13al9cbnCbopICh2w89cvRpYtV-23ylvgCBiz8fS6kLDreWwxMfEVXC6sbL1V31CzbDi5FB3MBnW-IZdamNX0qsQ2GsJk5IS7KXZNK2T86~wuUtIr30diKRdfVtn-xvEI6p5kZx2AmT609joBO-JqTjFWJf1e94BjdP6es7dMYDZDPJEcVp0T~cShY4H46r-ZNCYiYyjrwdpp7OqqQ0a2SgcHV6Il-pp95jdYpN3XfpQ0Uv5fr1gj2C6IQvXFYVThzmMnjgzT3DHVFT-TowX6TXQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Robertson County School Board on June 9 agreed to table a vote on continuing an exam-exemption pilot so staff can return next month with clarifications, including potential language to excuse students with chronic health conditions.

District presenters reviewed a one-year pilot that allowed some high-school students to be exempted from final exams under attendance and grade criteria. A presenter said administrators reported improved attendance but also inconsistent interpretation: “Some administrators interpreted it in terms of events rather than days,” and some schools treated tardies and early dismissals differently.

Board discussion focused on fairness and medical exceptions. A board member described a case of a student with chronic kidney disease and asked whether the pilot could disproportionately penalize students with chronic medical needs. A staff member noted the district has a chronic health-condition form, completed by a physician, that could be used to excuse planned absences, but acknowledged that using such forms increases record-keeping.

After discussion, a board member proposed tabling the item so staff could add recommended language for chronic illnesses and other clarifications; the board voted to table the proposal and asked staff to return with a revised document at the next meeting.

The board did not adopt changes to the pilot at the June 9 meeting. Staff said they would clarify definitions (days vs. events vs. period-by-period attendance), specify how late arrivals and early dismissals count, and include a proposed chronic-health exemption form or process for physician documentation.

The board emphasized a desire for consistent implementation across schools and asked staff to prepare administrative guidance and a recommendation for formal action at the next meeting.","The board agreed to table final approval of an exam-exemption pilot to the next meeting so staff can add clearer rules and language for chronic health exemptions and consistent implementation across schools.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6208120,"Robertson County Schools report 4,036 students missed 10+ days; board plans work session with courts",264,2476000,2740000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3749723-3ae2c1f2ef1c43a69e80df460a6d2748&start=2476&end=2740","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3749723-3ae2c1f2ef1c43a69e80df460a6d2748/thumbnail_2476000.jpg","/articles/6208120/Tennessee/Robertson-County-Schools-report-4036-students-missed-10-days-board-plans-work-session-with-courts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208120-55e88d2486f8404ec158f0d7db393a1b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770896365&Signature=QpvQ5tTH23yvQ8y79RI4kJfYmscMYy3hqruVFwIPwPHQ1aMuu7sxNRQpRyjnHuur~Oq5ieh554uI5EBT40RpW-kdM2znTgDUgR4ILHXVkKIDCQ24m3sus1bpFD1HBrOKnyK2-VOycYaMs5WDmTFDPO2jVx8uTHqRXmO-q~XB-BBU00G74~AAJwrenYH5jEqAtahXDufh4v7sUdH~b7Tl3C~-q--qanhTO-zOv~u5MHWR6wcmRyJSCBTIPPFFLss4fq~1x7GVpuL4IaozgKZF1g8PC8q-nra1tlsfqXa~mI-gv8OhKVOr2NVtRUPGFwIpnVC8bCi1mmTm65xCLZp3Lg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Robertson County School Board was told June 9 that 4,036 students missed 10 or more school days this year and roughly 1,000 students missed 20 or more days, and board members discussed asking the juvenile court system for faster intervention.

Board presenter Doctor Weeks reported the numbers during the district’s chronic-absenteeism review, saying, “if you look at page 83 ... 4,036 students have missed more than 10 days ... that's about 36 percent of our students.” He told the board that roughly a thousand students have missed 20 or more days, and that staff have made repeated outreach attempts to families.

Why it matters: District officials said persistent absenteeism is slowing instruction and that schools cannot solve the problem without outside help. Doctor Weeks said the district has sent multiple letters, requested meetings with families, referred cases to social workers and other agencies, and attempted to coordinate with the courts, but that the court system told them interventions could take “between 3 to 6 months.”

Board members and staff discussed data and next steps. A board member asked the staff to pull a report on the students who have missed 20 or more days to examine their grades and to identify where problems concentrate by school. Doctor Weeks said that while some students can make up missed work, many are falling behind, particularly at lower grade levels.

The board directed staff to pursue a work session with representatives of the juvenile court system so both sides could review the district’s referral packet and discuss possible paths to more timely intervention. Doctor Weeks said such packets run 15 to 20 pages when prepared for court and that principals and attendance staff invest substantial time preparing them.

The presentation included school-level counts and a discussion of what staff have tried, including social-worker outreach and attendance incentives. Board members emphasized that chronic medical conditions and other valid excuses do exist and that staff are already using available exemptions, but said the scale of the problem—about 10 percent of students missing 20 or more days—warrants a county-level response.

The board did not take a formal vote on policy changes during the meeting; members asked staff to schedule the proposed work session with judicial representatives and to return with targeted reports on students missing 20+ days.

The district identified the issue as a high-priority operational problem for the coming year and asked the board for support coordinating with outside agencies to reduce long-term absenteeism.","Board heard a chronic-absenteeism report showing 4,036 students missed 10–19 days and roughly 1,000 missed 20 or more days in the 2024–25 school year; board agreed to request a work session with the juvenile court to seek faster interventions.","actionData","errors"]
