The superintendent said the request arose because a board member, Mr. Clements, has a personal conflict and would like to avoid participating in the interviews. The board voted to permit Mr. Woodfin to carry out the interviews and return any recommendation to the board as required by policy.

Board members approved the motion and the vote passed without recorded objection. The authorization is limited to interviewing candidates and making a recommendation; final hiring authority remains with the Chilton County Board of Education unless the board delegates hiring authority at a later date.","Chilton County Board of Education voted to allow Lyman Woodfin, superintendent of Watauga County School System, to interview candidates and, if necessary, recommend a hire for the principal position at Jemison Intermediate School due to a conflict by a local board member.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6235512,"Chilton County board to study salary-step changes for principals, bookkeepers and maintenance staff",159,1063000,1222000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3397250-87778f31445bd7843e8165c7ed217097&start=1063&end=1222","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3397250-87778f31445bd7843e8165c7ed217097/thumbnail_1063000.jpg","/articles/6235512/Alabama/Chilton-County-board-to-study-salary-step-changes-for-principals-bookkeepers-and-maintenance-staff","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6235512-2af49388037208216971b9a41b76c225/orig.mp4?Expires=1770941773&Signature=ebwdzhDV4Ygr8Fxwd-4RQfplb4oKrIjbTbNyxpXwz~cViFYjj5va37IvOrfr3y2qc6tTNrYtKu-2XVSqyxoPcrNgh~KIwPk4yu-VuJzkBGAMLbfSdiBu02gL5PTbIGdDTat0xS2UbCKHRrE9KFX~p0GgyucqJT4draEV~Kr2I8~86GRDhdcsLCsuVUebXV8Yaz8yKrOEHfpV2h4AcvIX5aCc5zX3eFuNRQCGAfMpO7NVFND8NkibwBDgnssRmxmJw7Se6ducEJkttkYfbwR6tsXZBz8rGbLVCVQNtViBbmobt-8HkN57988fTjtB3TeEFzv2iT5CaLy3RfgI-OolJg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members on May 19 asked the superintendent to prepare options to revise the district's salary-step schedules for administrators, bookkeepers and maintenance staff, citing inequities in current step caps.

A board member noted bookkeepers “top out” under the current matrix and asked how the district could increase pay beyond state allocations. The superintendent said administrators currently have no step raises in some positions and that teachers’ step progression extends to 35 years. “We know we're gonna have to address our administrators too. They have no stair premises,” a staff member said, describing the need to review steps comprehensively.

The superintendent offered to prepare proposals over the summer and present options at a work session, with implementation timing discussed around Oct. 1 to avoid mid-year changes to schedules. Board members cautioned that increasing step caps would raise the district’s out-year obligations and asked the superintendent and finance staff to examine long-term affordability before any final action.","Board members directed the superintendent to prepare options this summer to revise salary-step schedules across administrative and support positions; discussion noted principals currently have no step raises and teachers' steps extend to 35 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},6235517,"Board approves survey of 10.5 acres on Jeff State property for proposed CareerTech center",123,893000,1016000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3397250-87778f31445bd7843e8165c7ed217097&start=893&end=1016","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3397250-87778f31445bd7843e8165c7ed217097/thumbnail_893000.jpg","/articles/6235517/Alabama/Board-approves-survey-of-105-acres-on-Jeff-State-property-for-proposed-CareerTech-center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6235517-d2fe843e291776f0e88a7a7b65c5663a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770941773&Signature=SwLigalYTosIrjBsnJqyGWx5XYatYuA2hiee~jpmJ3~5gGPXCxM2f-Ev-v60JP-1bfaPJ0JUo2UdIn~Ws9DL-4gQiogXcuj3E-KjP-VYBdyS6goljPgr7zj9QGzDIYL1zB3AuFdrmgk8NKQlcGFtfgGr~AqADVmjKdL4phnf3InyflPN9NXj7ZQl3kJ1E8kTd32vmYNucw5pInnUU1VCQpQiddP6Uec53wZNS9~sQMXTQJlXe-VUUXHVvxd1BbnkYAvp0pVUGI3rdQbjGNgA9B6sFrehMdURAEkLvYNU8YgxW~godLYowyW0t19rs-FfwjpLubDe~Ghm38VAKjSFPg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Chilton County Board of Education voted May 19 to approve a survey of approximately 10.5 acres on property adjoining Jefferson State Community College to support a potential deed transfer for a new CareerTech center.

The superintendent said the district will pay for the survey and intends to hand completed survey documents to Jefferson State for their review as part of the college's process for deeding property. The superintendent said one firm’s estimate appeared high and staff are seeking additional quotes. “We will go with the cheapest one that he finds,” a speaker said, referring to Mr. Ellison obtaining estimates.

Board members also discussed why the cost estimate was high: Jefferson State’s property would require surveying about 63 acres to carve out the 10.5-acre parcel, which raises the price. Board members said the district may need to bring the survey cost back for another board vote if it exceeds what staff can approve. The board approved the motion to proceed with obtaining the survey estimates and to pay for the work if within authorized limits.","Chilton County schools will pay for a survey of roughly 10.5 acres on Jefferson State Community College property as part of efforts to acquire the land for a new CareerTech center; board approved seeking additional estimates and could need a future vote depending on cost.",{"_33":125,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":126,"_41":127,"_43":128,"_45":129,"_47":130,"_49":131,"_51":132,"_53":133,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":134,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":135,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6235522,"State auditors give Chilton County schools clean audit for 2023-24",119,279000,398000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3397250-87778f31445bd7843e8165c7ed217097&start=279&end=398","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3397250-87778f31445bd7843e8165c7ed217097/thumbnail_279000.jpg","/articles/6235522/Alabama/State-auditors-give-Chilton-County-schools-clean-audit-for-2023-24","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6235522-8f760f762a393659ef7e7b624e966acf/orig.mp4?Expires=1770941773&Signature=f0TLyPIwZj-vBBwzKQ3QBnJux7Gdt55T3uc8nBHhHyY7ZtpR17h3NZQ4tb~I-Ha~DLFujvu5O~ajVO2z-mhYmKqR8NfmrhMum5C7SLrMtPpLnuqw1nUAxobLZTid7teadMUbCtrdwuQS1Ri4Fz-sQIHB1IBUfP0nEu3TBw5WlpzCMKTys-A3hqZdprLLAkF1FS1FzFXG7DXeT4iqSDvMjYnQXhPAUByn1GzgDQdjQyldPXdhP-vtDdT4EHA1rZgKv95iF4LvTJdwee~9W1o47dhSLjWR2B1Hf9RGH34oT4oWqj1~hQxnx1s5AlEebgmA5zN4fFQy5KTBCl6wIIR2OQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Matthew Robinson of the Alabama State Department of Examiners of Public Accounts told the Chilton County Board of Education on May 19 that auditors issued unmodified opinions on the district's financial statements and on its major federal programs for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2024.

Robinson said the audit covered the period Oct. 1, 2023, through Sept. 30, 2024, was performed under generally accepted auditing standards and government auditing standards, and included testing of federal assistance in accordance with Title 2 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, commonly called the Uniform Guidance. “We issued an unmodified opinion on the board's financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended 09/30/2024,” Robinson said. “We reported no audit findings in the report this year.”

Board members moved from the audit presentation directly to routine business, including approval of the monthly financial report and budget amendments. The audit report, Robinson said, and supporting information are available on the examiners' office website.

The audit team said Isabella High School and Jemison Middle School were selected for comprehensive testing; other schools were subject to limited testing. Robinson also thanked board and central office staff for their cooperation during the audit process.","The Alabama State Department of Examiners of Public Accounts issued unmodified opinions on Chilton County Schools' 2023-24 financial statements and major federal programs and reported no audit findings.","actionData","errors"]
