The Knox County Schools Board of Education approved a memorandum of understanding with Greenheck Fan Corporation to create a student-run, site-based engineering and manufacturing enterprise at Carter High School and to accept donations described in the MOU totaling up to $2,000,000.

Board member Mr. Wright moved to approve the MOU; Miss Christie seconded the motion. There was no recorded discussion on the item during the meeting; the motion passed by voice vote.

The MOU authorizes the creation of a site-based enterprise at Carter High School and specifies acceptance of donations up to the stated cap. The board did not record changes to the MOU at the meeting and provided no timeline or departmental assignment for implementation in the public record.

The board congratulated the new student representative later in the meeting and then continued regular business. The Greenheck MOU appeared on the agenda under facilities/partnership items and was approved as presented.

Next steps and implementation details, including how the enterprise will be staffed, funded on an ongoing basis, and integrated into curriculum or work-based learning, were not described in the meeting minutes and were not assigned a specific follow-up timetable during the vote.
