The Scott County Schools Board of Education convened on June 13, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including budget approvals, contracts, and cooperative agreements.

The meeting began with a motion to continue the contract with the stand program for the 2025-2026 school year, requiring board approval for an amount of $17,500. The motion passed unanimously, with all members voting in favor.

Next, the board discussed funding for nursing positions. A member inquired about the recent checks received, which totaled approximately $8,000. It was determined that this amount was insufficient to employ even one nurse, highlighting ongoing concerns about staffing in the district.

The board then moved to approve dues for membership in the Tennessee School Systems for Equity for the upcoming school year, amounting to $2,000. This motion also passed with unanimous support.

Following this, the board addressed budget amendments recommended by the director of schools. The amendments included ISM budget amendment number 5 and GP amendment number 12. After a motion and subsequent discussion, the board approved these amendments through a roll call vote.

A significant item on the agenda was a memorandum of understanding with Greg Bond and his broadcasting network, which was recommended by the Tennessee comptroller's office. The agreement, prepared by the county attorney, was approved after a motion and expressions of gratitude for Bond's contributions.

The board also declared certain property as surplus and authorized the director of finance to auction it on GovDeals, with the motion passing unanimously.

Lastly, the board reviewed a cooperative agreement related to funds received through the hazardous mitigation grant program from FEMA. This agreement, which requires approval from the Scott County Board of County Commissioners, was revised to clarify funding distribution and administrative responsibilities. The board acknowledged that the town of Huntsville had already approved the agreement.

In conclusion, the meeting addressed critical financial and operational matters, with all motions passing smoothly, reflecting a collaborative effort among board members to support the district's needs. Further actions will depend on the approval of the county government regarding the cooperative agreement.
