The Muscle Shoals Board of Education approved several procedural and substantive items by voice vote, including a resolution authorizing staff to explore the Series 2026 warrants with bond counsel.

The board first approved the meeting agenda after Mister Wood moved to approve and Doctor Stoddard seconded. The minutes of the regular meeting of Oct. 28, 2025 were approved after a motion from Doctor Stoddard and a second from Doctor Davis.

The consent agenda contained financial materials (year‑end documents, check registers for September and October, the October financial report), items discussed at the prior work session (including a presentation from Doctor Kinkade on the district’s transition to Curriculum Associates i‑Ready for formative assessments), funding for ACT testing for all tenth graders in 2026, and two surplus declarations from technology and transportation. The superintendent recommended the consent agenda; Doctor Davis moved to approve and Miss Allman seconded. The board approved the consent package by voice vote.

The board also adopted a proposed resolution allowing the district to engage with Frasier Lanier and a bond attorney to investigate options in the bond market and to prepare for possible Series 2026 warrants. The superintendent clarified that the resolution "does not lock us into anything" but authorizes exploring the market for capital projects after the first of the year. Mister Wood moved to approve the resolution; Doctor Stoddard seconded and the motion carried by voice vote.

All recorded motions in the meeting were approved by voice vote; the meeting transcript does not record a roll‑call tally or any recorded dissent on these items. The board adjourned after a brief superintendent’s report.
