Walker summarized workforce changes reported in the district’s exit/retirement filings: she said there are four certificated employees retiring, one certified teacher resigning because a spouse is relocating for work, two classified employees retiring and two classified resignations tied to military spouse relocations. Walker also reminded the board of the annual teacher job fair on Feb. 18 at the high school, with 34 employer bookings reported at the time of her update.

Walker delivered the report as informational; the transcript does not record additional board action tied to these staffing updates.","The Arlington HR director reported all certified positions filled, one special-education assistant vacancy at the high school, a 95% attendance rate, a substitute fill rate increase from 89% to 90%, and several upcoming retirements and resignations.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6364304,"Superintendent highlights $69 million budget, $1 million legacy grant and new searchable AHS course catalog",1648,458000,2106000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2164964-e94f220d37089312a1c9ba0a7a45acf3&start=458&end=2106","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2164964-e94f220d37089312a1c9ba0a7a45acf3/thumbnail_458000.jpg","/articles/6364304/Arlington/School-Districts/Tennessee/Superintendent-highlights-69-million-budget-1-million-legacy-grant-and-new-searchable-AHS-course-catalog","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6364304-8f104c351b7b0de73283a2af547d0c0d/orig.mp4?Expires=1776614535&Signature=Ur~ECQ-R4J9W9GPSpueIyAY7tWcpdXhyJAFf00tbDea9VUzWBR~28hgme~Ncyy8Nd-UAC7GVqQ~jK72kbPv2xXvyiptYmI7oCczmHFVyHBtovvlMaczoSR11j8ksBCpbMwgPqgQaDnY7jxlayxQne4G-qFlMXtwZt3~EOFukj2DqG-XyMtk3S~BA70kz2k7LpZlvjBId1wzJj03mSrSJusEtDobrpv8sdSmFfoNmsWFrjMm-yo2tWRfnCXoivmYadsUQBLXWvsF~zoEtZED4dFBqUKXtUHqOPABZXyWWnzjfYFaGeyfd8cW8R02w088H696icO9DBNATDJW13Tgalg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Doctor Clark, superintendent of Arlington Community Schools, presented a range of district updates in the superintendent’s report, highlighting budget and program milestones and recent legacy grant awards.

Clark told the board the district budget this year was $69,000,000 and described the board’s role in approving and shaping how those dollars are used. She noted the district’s annual “legacy grant” program, which the board approves at $1,000,000 per year, and reviewed several recent legacy grant approvals for January that pay for field trips, student travel, clubs, and program supplies.

Clark outlined sample legacy grant awards approved to date: funding for an Arlington High School Poetry Out Loud student and adviser to attend the state tournament; a Donaldson Elementary fifth-grade trip to Discovery Park; supplies for an Arlington Elementary art club (approximately 25 students); starter equipment for Donaldson Elementary’s elementary volleyball club (18–20 students); four Arlington High School student council members to attend the TSBA SCOPE conference; purchase of a golf simulator for the Arlington High School golf team (to be installed in an existing weight-room area); and a Donaldson third-grade trip to the Memphis Zoo tied to an animal-adaptations lesson. Clark said year-to-date legacy-grant approvals total about $330,000, with roughly $170,000 remaining available for the rest of the fiscal year; she noted the program typically pauses approvals in April to ensure funds are spent before the fiscal year ends in June.

Clark described other highlights: Arlington High School earned gold-level recognition under the Safe Stars initiative for athletics safety and compliance; the district is using Perkins funding and student interest surveys to guide career and technical education pathways (Clark said health care and human services, arts/entertainment/design, and advanced manufacturing are top student choices); and Arlington High School launched a mobile-friendly, searchable online course catalog derived from its prior 80-plus-page PDF to help families and students explore courses by keyword, grade level and program area.

Clark and other staff also noted student accomplishments in regional art competitions and promoted upcoming events including a family-life curriculum preview, AHS Bound Night, and the district’s “Pep Talks” podcast. Several administrators referenced coordination on devices for different career pathways (iPads for visual arts, PCs for STEM/computer science) and a plan to gather college input to guide device recommendations for students in specific programs.

The report was delivered as information; no separate formal board action on the items was recorded in the transcript.","Superintendent Doctor Clark reviewed district achievements and initiatives including the district budget figure, the annual $1,000,000 legacy grant program, recent legacy grant awards, Arlington High School’s new searchable course catalog and a gold Safe Stars recognition for AHS athletics.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6364309,"Arlington board grants tenure to 28 teachers under Resolution 2025-3",96,2361000,2457000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2164964-e94f220d37089312a1c9ba0a7a45acf3&start=2361&end=2457","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2164964-e94f220d37089312a1c9ba0a7a45acf3/thumbnail_2361000.jpg","/articles/6364309/Arlington/School-Districts/Tennessee/Arlington-board-grants-tenure-to-28-teachers-under-Resolution-2025-3","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6364309-ab25731cde08dff63cb1bd1e022e812f/orig.mp4?Expires=1776614535&Signature=aBRaTRxtg0T0-J8tdk02pKhL1vzZ~hsvKj~hx7C5w~Dq6f6-xD3LVWIhNtb3Gj5CMCG~-rnbMjXeOpK--RVZu5~VfkgGTOy7V8q9ZYmyMeH-Taa0-5GrZNx9pIQ2hZvukWlbUIsmtm3xu6jzTp~Zq-fiy8H~Mu3vkGa1txLis--SWejox6YxBU6bp5-uCA-1pkBD~tIqMtqrkEIqxHEpsTR6laVZA8pHdLLS9725cGPxqeU-qMfMrBJYTEfGGFnD8YlcD-15gHr86mALZa2M2XvIz-njjFw27LwvuN891bgFmczpnWXYvMbU4o6~LSELbYdLjYBSLcyDq6dQmHDApA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Doctor Clark, superintendent of Arlington Community Schools, recommended that the board adopt Resolution 2025-3 to grant tenure to eligible teachers districtwide. The board approved the resolution by voice vote after a motion and second.

Clark read the names of teachers recommended for tenure by school: Arlington Elementary School (Lisonbee Brewington; Heather Cridget; Caroline Harrison; Brynn Pellegra; Colton Spicer); Arlington High School (Stephanie Altman; Blaine Brewer; Kelsey Fernley; Nicole Hensley; Jonathan Lloyd; Dorothy Mize); Arlington Middle School (Jennifer Harvey); Donaldson Elementary (Christy Corzan; Cecilia Dubuisson; Lindsey Fleager; Brooke McGee; Catherine Perry; Megan Richards; Christina Stout; Chelsea Tarpley). The superintendent said the board had received qualifying information from human resources supporting those recommendations.

A motion to approve the superintendent’s recommendation was made and seconded; the board then voted “aye,” and the chair announced that the motion passed. The minutes record no roll-call vote totals in the transcript; the chair declared the ayes had it and the motion passed.

The action completes the formal tenure process for the listed teachers as presented to the board at this meeting. The resolution text and the HR documentation supporting qualifications were provided to board members in advance and were included with the meeting materials.","The Arlington Community Schools Board of Education approved Resolution 2025-3 to grant tenure to eligible teachers across Arlington schools after the superintendent read the names and the board voted to approve the recommendation.","actionData","errors"]
