Staff said the committee reviewed samples supplied by the state department and hosted vendor presentations (a caravan) from four approved vendors. Committee recommendations were: one vendor for K–5 and another vendor for grades 6–12; staff asked board members to review the samples at the district office.

During discussion a board member asked whether a physical-science textbook was included, and staff acknowledged that the physical science title needed to be added to the draft recommendation. The presenter said she would revise the draft to include the physical science selection and provide the corrected materials to the board.

No formal adoption vote was recorded in the workshop excerpt. Staff encouraged board members to review the samples and said the committee’s short list and the vendor materials were available for inspection.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CCBOE Workshop April 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A committee recommended science textbook adoptions for K–5 and grades 6–12; staff said samples are available and will correct a missing physical science item before returning the recommendation for board action.","taxTitle","Cannon County, School Districts, Tennessee","taxId",38836,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6610256,"Board asked to delay action on teacher bonuses under Education Freedom Act until state provides data",42,383000,425000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2905006-b5da9be20a7d82340388dc70c2066c67&start=383&end=425","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2905006-b5da9be20a7d82340388dc70c2066c67/thumbnail_383000.jpg","/articles/6610256/Tennessee/Board-asked-to-delay-action-on-teacher-bonuses-under-Education-Freedom-Act-until-state-provides-data","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6610256-ba560a4a2bf215de36358c6ea48907fe/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136161&Signature=WIb7-~n5mVHjieqOZnlAlX5OC0ffJqwJaOf1dhIg6gG0ZV9YJb33QeozhMMi53NOjUOKCZAuhri8O6QrpNSkwFi7mDIK-i7QljR-Tn7YZtE8Od60mdyqQhnIFOT~w5KnzhZXB6B4pQUhArfKOY4tldSNNsrGs1VXd1nqHZ5VST848iUqMNOaJRGIerBpYiccKI3cgtNA7cJIf2haxYFsnKW1Lbnv8szUnUTLtqLrWP1cnqyGfKRU49kc-23uZxOTanLppePyzEjp28pPTOWeJbmu2XcvOOma9kGl3c0~9PPx25vKVh~jSSpauSnoAALG57t00THgg62ySQ7WsmXplA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Cannon County staff asked the board to table action on a resolution that would meet teacher bonus requirements under the Education Freedom Act, saying the state is expected to send data April 11 that the district needs to determine payments.

A staff member told the board the Department of Education would send the relevant list of teachers and that the district would receive funds for teachers included on that list. The presenter said the state’s data had not arrived and asked the board to postpone final action so the board could review the state-provided list before making payout decisions.

The presenter advised the board that once the district receives the state data it would have to take action in May, so that teachers on the list can receive payments. The transcript shows the staff member asking the board to table the item again and to wait until the April 11 delivery of state information.

The workshop record does not show a formal roll-call vote in the excerpt provided; the request to table and the timing expectation were recorded in the discussion.","Staff asked the board to table a resolution meeting requirements for teacher bonuses under the Education Freedom Act until the state supplies updated data; staff said the state will send data April 11 and the board will need to act in May.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6610261,"Board hears request to continue contracting out occupational, therapy and other special education services for 2025-26",18,498000,516000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2905006-b5da9be20a7d82340388dc70c2066c67&start=498&end=516","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2905006-b5da9be20a7d82340388dc70c2066c67/thumbnail_498000.jpg","/articles/6610261/Tennessee/Board-hears-request-to-continue-contracting-out-occupational-therapy-and-other-special-education-services-for-2025-26","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6610261-3a78d071f42e8a6f817cfa24ff9c4b33/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136161&Signature=nVNz4K7MBaHUQ~5A4r2gHN7fh8OAAffgL5bhegbxJMnPXfqxTjdKobC36t8r0Y-9lb1gTKshCt8Qw0RGux5CSashjjE9CURBm71RyYeD5F~y-Ieu5efYgWXFXG9HQG9fsEmvAqw2Opia3-rtrU2heeAdTEDD1Exfk62UX11yXjOhSM7pixAaQ8QoxNTAkNM2gJnV3MyJoa5yq755scwJC5O3WlTw60km~OII9Ww3ZJ2Imt~O4Hb1przQgfpj0U5quHE-TQ4CPPliEsZnG3KO5NspIHWHY8KzW33BUQERxcIPigZQ64JnjlNqp4kLAckcxexRYVChPOjBXet71808Bw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Cannon County staff told the board they plan to continue contracting with outside agencies for several special education services in the 2025–26 school year and asked for the board’s approval at the workshop Wednesday.

A staff presenter said the district does not have in-house personnel for all those roles and that contracting is a continuation of current practice.

The presenter told the board she needed approval to proceed with contracts so the district could secure services for students next year. The transcript records the request and explanation but does not show a formal vote or roll-call tally during the workshop.

Board members did not record substantive changes to the scope of services during the discussion.

A staff member said the Ford-related application focuses on STEM and education-to-workforce pathways and includes a partnership element with SCORE that would provide quarterly support to teachers. The presenter said the Ford application had already been written and was due Friday; staff requested the board’s permission to submit it.

On the literacy grant, a staff member described the opportunity as $90,000 per year for up to five years (a potential total of $450,000 if continued annually). The presenter said approximately $80,000 of each year would support English Language Arts (ELA) support systems at the middle school, and roughly $10,000 per year would cover materials, travel and school visits. Staff said they had spoken with principals in other counties about program implementation and planned to use the funds for professional learning communities and ELA interventions.

Board members asked procedural questions about budget impacts and whether grant-funded positions or activities would require district funding in later years. The presenter said the literacy grant is an option to continue each year and that the district could choose whether to accept subsequent years’ awards.

No formal votes were recorded on either application in the workshop minutes. Staff indicated they had prepared both applications and sought the board’s permission to submit them for consideration.","District staff requested board permission to apply for a $75,000 Ford innovation/STEM grant (with a SCORE partnership) and a $90,000-per-year Tennessee Department of Education literacy materials/support grant that could total $450,000 over five years.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6610266,"Cannon County board discusses possible $350,000 purchase of land next to elementary and middle schools",407,527000,934000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2905006-b5da9be20a7d82340388dc70c2066c67&start=527&end=934","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2905006-b5da9be20a7d82340388dc70c2066c67/thumbnail_527000.jpg","/articles/6610266/Tennessee/Cannon-County-board-discusses-possible-350000-purchase-of-land-next-to-elementary-and-middle-schools","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6610266-9d6a5b66692c0629e14c4fdf4b318850/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136161&Signature=Txclhn~V0DQt~in-orNLZY1ZqRcVXJUdCgYzPmqHWb4yD0Vf6mIVVBB9mkJAioXeKlVcj5zEx~AK0VGHc32Hdn~haO9i4Ns6W2w~qawVyNkBxEoBa~ftxpUDxxj4AmBHPfX8ySLxLfVMbieqF-0OTEFFUvkmo8kJAW-CBpuKj0rtzQhvxpSmw~3Tli7oDVSzAVmIGKFWsMqPwcLbm8AGqcQfwu7LbFPQTE9YeDjpOFeM8AieNLy2Al5W6rj9fCfidyG2juxk8K-xXelGIIeqIPmlIQ8TwpEsPN7l8rzcegFn68QahKqk0zDHFElRc5gLjYT9WYv18PnC4JTzwaFShg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Cannon County Board of Education members discussed whether to pursue buying the parcel known as the Hoover property — land adjacent to Cannon Elementary and Middle School — for $350,000 during a workshop Wednesday.

The board heard multiple members urge action while other members warned the district’s budget is tight and recommended caution. One board member called the opportunity “a chance I didn’t think we’d ever have again” and said the parcel would relieve ongoing site constraints around the schools. That speaker said a middle school could fit on the property and predicted the land would likely appreciate in value.

Other board members questioned whether the district should spend the money now while budgets remain constrained. One member said the purchase “is money towards these other… everything budgets is I know as tight as it is,” and noted federal and state funding changes that complicate budgeting.

Board members discussed financing options. One member said an administrator suggested using fund balance for the acquisition. A board member clarified that using fund balance would require a budget amendment approved by the County Commission before the district could spend the money.

Legal and site details remained incomplete in the workshop discussion. A staff member said the district’s attorney had contacted the property owner and that the seller had previously followed up in January; the board had not yet discussed a response. Questions raised by board members included whether utility lines or poles crossed the parcel; speakers said they did not have a definitive answer at the meeting.

No final decision was recorded in the workshop. Board members agreed to continue discussion and to seek additional information — including input from the district attorney and clarification about utilities, available fund balance, and any required County Commission actions — before taking formal action.

The land discussion took place as Agenda Item 10 in the April 10 workshop. The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 10, at Cannon County Elementary (per the workshop announcement).","Board members debated whether to pursue buying the Hoover property adjacent to Cannon Elementary and Middle School for $350,000, with supporters citing future space needs and opponents raising budget concerns and the need for a county budget amendment if fund balance is used.","actionData","errors"]
