The superintendent (unnamed in the transcript) said the district’s benchmark results indicate progress and offered a numerical comparison: “we're trending to be a pretty solid… I think it's 44 points from an A,” and then summarized school-level gains reported to the board. Among examples in the transcript: one elementary move up “61 points,” Allen Middle School moved up “63 points,” another school “up 41 points,” and one school “jumped up 90 almost 91 points.” The superintendent presented these figures as district trends; the meeting record does not include detailed spreadsheets or baseline scores in the public transcript.

The board discussed conflicting graduation dates. A board member asked which schedule was correct after noting the calendar differed from the printed sheet; the board member said, “The sheet that was given to you tonight, not the… calendar.” The superintendent and school staff agreed the printed sheet provided at the meeting should be followed; administrators also said graduation times and dates will be confirmed and corrected as needed.

The superintendent announced end‑of‑year events, including athletic banquets and three graduation ceremonies. The transcript also includes an announcement of a retirement reception for Scott Hurd on May 15 at Allen Middle School; the superintendent said retirement notices (\"retirement t's\") will be passed along as they arrive.

Why this matters: Benchmark gains are a key measure of student progress and state accountability; accurate graduation schedules affect families and event planning. The transcript provides headline gains but not the underlying data or comparative baselines, so the board’s remarks signal improvement without supplying the full numeric context.

Details and limitations: The transcript attributes the testing summary and calendar clarification to the superintendent and to staff members identified as “Miss Ward” and others; it does not include detailed score tables, the exact names of all schools in each statistic, or state testing raw scores. The board recorded the items as informational; no policy changes were proposed or approved during this portion of the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","LMSD Board Meeting - April 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The superintendent told the board the district’s most recent benchmark testing shows gains across schools and raised an issue about inconsistent graduation dates between the board calendar and a handout; a retirement reception for Scott Hurd was also announced.","taxTitle","LOUISVILLE MUNICIPAL SCHOOL DIST, School Districts, Mississippi","taxId",49720,"location","Mississippi","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},6609852,"Louisville Municipal School District approves claims, bank balances, audit contract and 1.52-acre lease",164,1290000,1454000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2905236-8e9d1d4f8455b98e3767d83ebe731e65&start=1290&end=1454","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2905236-8e9d1d4f8455b98e3767d83ebe731e65/thumbnail_1290000.jpg","/articles/6609852/Mississippi/Louisville-Municipal-School-District-approves-claims-bank-balances-audit-contract-and-152-acre-lease","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6609852-b7d445e33ca2edece15baf773d7318f6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138742&Signature=lGBM9gaz1dp2mI9EemNn3Rjdhka4opJSoS5SKmPvtWDYaGAfp1XEw1ZZsNkIGwZbJvG3T8Z3J7E~Ur0du~RRs65pB9-AcNgPOjnsZfnz25zN2wj6a~ojsOKYmnMt-9Jp0XKHEKKIZrzwP-~HMgqi7kexFQTYQiZVtCmwt~ibiVqk~BPb87NRwsI-K26y7NYPSAb7y2MWkYO-bxO19jsRppqMS3MBOHTu2MRJ9zgkyOnF63fD5gNsChixZaBVhFyTzglbHojDmmeNqpEhyv1ZUg3wAckPXoqOHMwgsHRoj8VtgOMAHwHGCLhj-bHwqZj2mY8mYls3wFPe0wOFgbGOQA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Louisville Municipal School District board approved a series of routine financial and administrative items, including the March claim docket (numbers 340276–340473), March bank balances, the selection of an auditor for fiscal-year 2024–25, and a 1.52‑acre 16th‑section residential lease for Wayne and Jeanie Gloop at 161513 Brooksville Road.

Board members moved and seconded each item and carried the motions by voice vote. For the claim docket and bank-balance approvals the board chair called for the ayes and declared the motions carried. The meeting transcript records the audit contract recommendation as coming from a retiring staff member’s referral; the board approved the recommended auditor by motion and voice vote.

The board also approved a personnel/attendance item described in the minutes as related to a student who “has not attended the LMS School District schools.” The transcript records the motion, a second and a carried voice vote; no additional details about the student or the specific action taken were provided in the public record.

Why this matters: Claim-docket approvals release district funds; bank-balance approvals confirm financial position; the audit selection names the firm that will review fiscal records; and the 16th‑section lease affects the district’s land holdings and generates modest ongoing revenue.

Votes at a glance
- Approval of the agenda: motion approved by voice vote.
- Approval (with exception of an item referred to as “5 11”): motion approved by voice vote (recorded as “Aye, 7” for that item in the transcript).
- Approval of claim docket 340276–340473 (March 2025 agency activity fund): approved by voice vote.
- Approval of March 2025 bank balances and financial reports: approved by voice vote.
- Approval of best bid for fiscal year 2024–25 school audit (recommended auditor: “Mr. Myers,” recommended by Savannah Smith): approved by voice vote.
- Approval of an item described as a student who has not attended LMS schools: approved by voice vote (details not specified in the transcript).
- Approval of a new 1.52‑acre residential 16th‑section lease for Wayne and Jeanie Gloop at 161513 Brooksville Road: approved by voice vote.

What the record shows and what it does not: The transcript records motions, seconds and the board’s voice votes but does not record the names of the members who made or seconded most motions, nor detailed vote tallies beyond occasional “Aye” counts. The audit recommendation references a former staff member’s referral; the transcript does not include the auditor firm name beyond a spoken “Mr. Myers”/“Mister Myers.” The student‑attendance item was moved and carried but the public record does not include identifying details or the specific remedy in the transcript.

Details and next steps: The 16th‑section lease identifies Wayne and Jeanie Gloop and a street address in the motion; the lease was approved and will proceed under the district’s 16th‑section land authority. The approved audit engagement will proceed according to the district’s contracting timelines; the transcript does not state a contract value or start date.

","At its regular meeting, the Louisville Municipal School District board approved the March claim docket, bank balances, a bid for the 2024–25 audit, and a 1.52-acre 16th‑section residential lease for Wayne and Jeanie Gloop; motions were carried by voice vote.","actionData","errors"]
