All motions listed below carried with unanimous aye votes from trustees Cody Childress, Barbara Halliburton, Amanda Compton, Chris Denson, Theresa Cook, Debbie Clifton and Barbara Gray.

Votes at a glance

- Consent agenda (approval of May 5, 2025 board meeting minutes and designation of Board of Education policies in section 6): Motion moved by Cody Childress; second Amanda Compton; outcome: approved (roll call: all ayes).

- FY '25 budget amendment 8 — Federal fund increase of $11,645 and nutrition fund use of fund balance of $131,106 for year-end nutrition supplies: Motion moved by Barbara Halliburton; second Barbara Gray; outcome: approved (roll call: all ayes).

- Resolution and participating-employer agreement regarding employee retirement products and services (document number 2401ks): Motion moved by Cody Childress; second Barbara Halliburton; outcome: approved (roll call: all ayes). See separate article for presentation by Tennessee State Treasury.

- MMSD 2025 differentiated pay plan (targeted incentives for hard-to-staff new hires): Motion moved by Amanda Compton; second not specified on record; outcome: approved (roll call: all ayes).

- Purchase of K–3 reading materials and K–8 intervention from Ditto Literacy in the amount of $71,991.25: Motion moved and second on the record during the meeting; outcome: approved (roll call: all ayes).

- FY '26 consolidated application for IDEA and ESEA (title funding acknowledgement required by the state): Motion moved and second; outcome: approved (roll call: all ayes).

Why it matters: these approvals authorize immediate administrative actions (budget amendment, instructional materials purchase, policy updates) and a significant benefits-change resolution that affects employee retirement-product participation. Several items were discussed in work sessions beforehand and brought to the consent calendar for action.

Records and next steps: staff will complete necessary paperwork for the retirement resolution with State Treasury, proceed with procurement and receipt of reading materials for summer programs, and implement policy language changes as approved. Board minutes record the roll-call tallies for each item.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 2, 2025 Board of Education Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At its June meeting the Millington Municipal Schools Board approved a consent agenda, a FY25 federal/nutrition budget amendment, a retirement participation resolution, a differentiated pay plan, several purchases, the FY26 IDEA/ESEA consolidated application and modifications to personnel policies; all items passed on roll call.","taxTitle","Millington Municipal Schools, School Districts, Tennessee","taxId",67928,"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},6537187,"Local contractors donate concrete, labor for Millington Central outdoor classroom; board issues proclamations",153,1380000,1533000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3634438-3bf4c091e24b7d69aa65c6d00562b008&start=1380&end=1533","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3634438-3bf4c091e24b7d69aa65c6d00562b008/thumbnail_1380000.jpg","/articles/6537187/Tennessee/Local-contractors-donate-concrete-labor-for-Millington-Central-outdoor-classroom-board-issues-proclamations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537187-e664dcaa2843a9aa600e415274f0a8cc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770815477&Signature=T2DBHZSn~3jRO5OLndUF8B5TcFFMJJwA-fAZGQVp1Ib6NBMEt-1q1gPUHn8n5p7FaZcaq-hO7TBcJJTc5OwBGXZ18~r96-omTnTO6OKeo7bklc7tpucXbwGYF0nqg4zTuH668pTKcu5SnNjuHqVKd76dLBH1BMEyP8zSfkjISAw8mMHjyJvJl1R8xPf5fhCl-SG-BkRIgCJNAxMx2yDWrP5MscFl0-uAomNIyJo7nxqA4E6-XSAMNmB-k2PrmBJpFXX7m-7Gz91ADZFdQV9AtXr44FmxxO~W-4KDDfQb3KD809H7Uugx4gh9z6tIaY3IKZAjQZVw9rCpfHnBzZnnFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Millington Municipal Schools recognized Brooks Mazzola Construction and Delta Concrete for donating concrete and labor for an outdoor classroom at Millington Central Middle High School.

A district official read proclamations naming Brooks Mazzola Construction and Delta Concrete and thanking both firms for their contributions. The district’s presentation said the donation included more than 30 cubic yards of concrete, connection of outdoor gutters to the drain system, and other work beyond the original request. “They went out above what we really wanted and they added some more things all in their dollar,” the presenter said.

Why it matters: the outdoor classroom is intended to enhance instructional space at Millington Central Middle High School. The public recognition follows completion of concrete work and site connections that also improved stormwater routing for the parking lot.

Board members and staff thanked both donors and noted the contribution will have a “positive and lasting impact on the students, teachers, and staff” of the school. No formal vote was required for the proclamations, which the superintendent issued as recognition of the donations.","Brooks Mazzola Construction and Delta Concrete donated more than 30 cubic yards of concrete and labor for an outdoor classroom at Millington Central Middle High School; the board presented proclamations recognizing the donations.",{"_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},6537190,"Board adopts state retirement participation resolution to offer 403(b)/401(k)/457 options",938,1699000,2637000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3634438-3bf4c091e24b7d69aa65c6d00562b008&start=1699&end=2637","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3634438-3bf4c091e24b7d69aa65c6d00562b008/thumbnail_1699000.jpg","/articles/6537190/Tennessee/Board-adopts-state-retirement-participation-resolution-to-offer-403b401k457-options","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537190-769689f3520c6a2b5af9bbd43c079e66/orig.mp4?Expires=1770815477&Signature=B~WsfB4a1TjuSay8hTBMHnsC1DkjMJB4Sx-ukGixE0S4RB3vTFF~CVNRLbExL-KSnjRCJy8q6Oimem-CX5aoKo-WHpiJb1cDnd3My5Nl-OilqSRJ6T~vqu3uB1sDHhKX1i2mFSTeDmPSXzTuU6uk3TlMGaDTAK~SwUJHMeNrvdmG7Bkpg1Yjo4JE0Ysce9bgrkOUlzj~ablOdbqSmIDWFz2NAF-uqQsB7lCNrHDMqXT~3ETGsYR4QPd9eMO0C1vEKdRWF5cG~ZbKMP0w7d5vHFC2LhAxSa51wm3nk6DQYPOdeptOkJKSDSooEHzZeIvj~HaPS2oUbHDPr-O86P7UfA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Millington Municipal Schools Board of Education voted to adopt a resolution and participating-employer agreement to offer state retirement products including 401(k) and 457 deferred-compensation options and to allow participants to roll existing 403(b) accounts into the state platform.

Tim Joyce, a representative of the Tennessee State Treasury West Tennessee field team, briefed the board on the change and said the transition does not add costs to the district. “Nobody's losing anything. If they want to keep their 403(b), that's fine,” Joyce said, adding the state will assume fiduciary oversight for the deferred-compensation plans once the district adopts the agreement.

Why it matters: the change centralizes employee retirement options in state-managed vehicles the presenter said will simplify recordkeeping and participant education, and could make benefit packages consistent with neighboring districts. Joyce said the documentation and amendment process mirrors what other nearby districts have done.

Board members asked about contribution caps, portability and whether plan options would match those in nearby districts such as Germantown and Collierville. Joyce said caps exist for 401(k)/457 plans (he referenced an approximate $25,000 cap in the discussion) and confirmed plan options would be comparable once the resolution is adopted. He also noted part-time employees and board members may participate in deferred-comp plans under the state program.

A roll-call vote recorded all trustees voting in favor.

The board approved the resolution identified in the agenda as document number 2401ks and directed staff to complete the documentation with State Treasury.","Millington Municipal Schools approved a resolution to join state-participating retirement products so employees can access Tennessee Deferred Compensation and state 401(k) options; a State Treasury representative briefed the board beforehand.",{"_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},6537193,"Millington schools facilities team reports progress on outdoor classroom, stadium repairs and radio system",735,590000,1325000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3634438-3bf4c091e24b7d69aa65c6d00562b008&start=590&end=1325","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3634438-3bf4c091e24b7d69aa65c6d00562b008/thumbnail_590000.jpg","/articles/6537193/Tennessee/Millington-schools-facilities-team-reports-progress-on-outdoor-classroom-stadium-repairs-and-radio-system","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537193-b9cd3a9cc5908c22e95d82b157a72786/orig.mp4?Expires=1770815477&Signature=NeXM86Qvj8dl-Ax5G~f09cRn21iEoK2Axidwr4ZlKAVY9faYe0BS5qlJAh7xMpoEW8YL1hb4xOhMkRleQF8mDidapr36uKVSrC7VK2WgGsPbgr~~q~fCEIwpQJSc3gYyzaQq5ruhVVm0zFtijL6N6WP0~22seo0BeIemUlIUf-k4QP4COJS8oAJxFSVAyjcjnmlobx9pNxRIobqhsCfDJahenxGh2yMMdN2jgQRIuURIQN8P9Ixgg50Ygk6S2PVyVV9FA95LDAO1cZy1YUGeJn1JBYS0R-5gHo4KIZZAfIsvKJPz~MfaQMWG3QZ5HIb8RDq~QWuX5Wop-lkG8XTF5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Phil LeBlanc, who gave the board an operations update, told Millington Municipal Schools trustees the USDA preschool site has moved into finishing stages and staff have relocated pre-K classrooms and furniture into the new facility. “They’re getting after it pretty good ... we’re getting very close to completing it,” LeBlanc said.

The update outlined several ongoing projects: asphalt work and fencing at the stadium parking lot, replacement of old chain-link fencing with a six-foot black vinyl fence with privacy slats, repair of leaking expansion joints at the home stadium stands, locker-room storm-damage repairs at Myles Park, a new concession-stand roof, and installation of a district radio system. LeBlanc said the district has 80 radios to be programmed once antenna and infrastructure work is complete: “We have 80 radios. We’ll sit in with the admin and talk about how their channels for each school to go by.”

Why it matters: the projects affect building access, student and spectator safety, and day-to-day operations across Millington Central Middle High School and the primary school. Board members praised the operations staff and asked questions about maintenance, turnover and timeline for project completion.

LeBlanc also reviewed custodial staffing and maintenance metrics: five plant managers, two office staff, and 24 custodial workers; since July 1 the operations department has handled 1,930 work-ticket requests, he said. He described summer waxing and planned interior work and said he expects most high-school waxing to be finished by the end of the month, with primary-school work to follow.

Board members asked about turnover and the in-house custodial transition. LeBlanc said initial turnover occurred when the district shifted to in-house custodial staff but that the roster has been stable for the past four to five months. On the fence replacement, he described the chain-link removal and replacement runs “roughly about 600 linear feet” and will include slats to reduce visibility. He and board members discussed monitoring repaired expansion joints for leaks into the weight room and other interior spaces.

The superintendent and several board members thanked the operations team for completing work ahead of the school year and for on-site summer activity, including landscaping and groundskeeping. LeBlanc closed by inviting further questions and said staff would continue to monitor repaired areas and follow up as needed.","Facilities staff told the Millington Municipal Schools board that work on the new USDA-funded preschool site and several maintenance projects is near completion; the operations team also described staffing, summer work and radio upgrades.","actionData","errors"]
