The board unanimously approved the meeting agenda and a lengthy consent agenda after motions and seconds from board members (no recorded roll-call names beyond vocal \"ayes\" and a unanimous outcome).

The board accepted a donation of two scoreboards from Wilson Bank & Trust for the high school. Wilson Bank and Trust will cover the equipment cost; the district agreed to pay shipping and installation estimated at about $1,400 (the scoreboard vendor said that estimate could be lower). A motion to accept the donation was made by Chris and passed by voice vote.

The board also unanimously approved the updated fiscal-year general-purpose school budget for FY25'26 after a motion by Mr. Atwood and a second by Diana (voice vote recorded as unanimous). The superintendent noted the updated budget will be presented to the county commission on Monday for their consideration.

All listed motions passed by voice vote with no recorded \"no\" votes in the meeting transcript.

Heidley said band motivates her child, who has learning disabilities, and argued that denying homeschool students access to marching band denies an educational opportunity.

\"Marching band and color guard are considered a half credit for PE in the state of Tennessee... They still are out on the field from during camp from 6AM to 6PM marching, playing an instrument, carrying around heavy things,\" Heidley said, noting that private alternatives for marching band are not widely available in Tennessee and referencing a board code of conduct from Charlottesville to support the principle of equal opportunity.

An unnamed board member responded that the board would take Heidley's comments and discuss them at future meetings and that once a decision is made, the board would direct Dr. Sandoval to follow up with her.

District staff said two certified teaching spots (a fifth-grade math/science teacher and a middle-school librarian) remained open; the district is also seeking an elementary bookkeeper, a nurse and three educational assistants. Dr. Sandoval said support personnel rehire letters were sent about one to two weeks earlier and employees have a short window to accept rehire offers.

Regarding state funding, Dr. Sandoval discussed the Education Freedom Act (voucher bill) one-time teacher bonus. \"Each teacher that's taught for a hundred and 20 days or more in a year, and they've been a direct service to students... all of our teachers will receive a $2,000 one-time bonus,\" he said, adding the state is expected to pay related fixed charges and that payment could arrive in July but cautioned the timeline might change.

Staff also noted that staff report-back is scheduled for July 28 and that the district opened online new-student registration; returning-student online registration will open after July 4 (district official provided July 7 as the start for returning student registration). District leaders encouraged the board and the public to attend the county commission hearing on the FY26 general-purpose school budget on Monday.

\"They are laying block. They've got 4 masons on-site, met with the construction manager today, and they estimated it would take about 3 more weeks to finish laying the block,\" Dr. Sandoval said. He added some exterior brick has arrived and that trusses are on-site, with plans to use a crane in August to set the trusses.

Sandoval described planned reinforced block work (a continuous concrete/bulkhead pour with rebar) above each wall and supplied approximate wall heights: the wall next to College Street about 13 feet, a middle wall about 17 feet and the wall next to the stadium about 23 feet.

Board members asked clarifying questions and toured or reviewed recent photos; no vote was required on the update.

Two school principals who served in administrator roles at the camp described using the program to practice schedules, transportation logistics and teacher evaluations while accelerating student learning. \"We currently have 129 students enrolled for 2025. The number's a little bit down, but our student attendance on daily average has been about 95%,\" said Mr. Smidow, one of the principals assigned to the camp. He added the camp used incentives to encourage daily attendance and prioritized early classroom observations to support teachers.

\"I definitely would probably say the time that it takes to make a singular schedule,\" said Lindsay Ellis, the other principal serving in an administrative role. Ellis described the detailed planning required for daily schedules and special events.

District staff said a small group of rising fourth-graders will take a post-test this week using touchscreen Chromebooks; that group is being given touchscreen devices to familiarize students with the testing platform (SchoolNet). Dr. Sandoval said the district expects the post-test results to be important for third-grade students seeking adequate growth before promotion decisions.

Administrators also reported low discipline issues and positive student engagement at camp, and that the camp has been used as a professional experience for staff pursuing graduate work. Dr. Satterfield, who the principals said is teaching an evaluation class at Cumberland University, joined some observations and helped norm evaluation rubrics.

The district runs an after-school extension connected to the summer learning camp and a high-school credit-recovery program; district staff said the credit-recovery program had two students who completed the required work. Board members were told the summer learning camp will finish next week.

Board members thanked the principals and staff for the program and the board chair said the comments would be noted for future discussion of camp outcomes.

","Principals and district staff reported strong attendance and instructional gains at the district's summer learning camp, which enrolled about 129'130 students and includes a touchscreen Chromebook pilot for a small group of rising fourth-graders.","actionData","errors"]
