Communications Director April Chamberlain described features intended to ease family access: an icon panel with quick links for athletics, calendars, lunch menus and PowerSchool; a students-and-families hub with attendance, registration and subscription options; and school pages that mirror the district site. Chamberlain highlighted a calendar filter that allows families to view events for selected schools side by side and a printable two-year district calendar.

Chamberlain also noted a \"Join the Team\" section consolidating employment opportunities, job descriptions and instructions for substitute teachers. The new site was presented as live and the district said it will publicly announce the URL and share videos and board summaries as they post.

Board members thanked communications staff for the work and said the site will be a primary hub for families and staff.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Trussville City Schools - June 9, 2025 - BOE Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","District officials unveiled a redesigned district website with a shorter URL (tcsk12.us), consolidated calendars, quick links for families, and a \"Join the Team\" portal for job seekers.","taxTitle","Trussville City Schools, School Districts, Alabama","taxId",72930,"location","Alabama","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},6209621,"Board approves personnel report and introduces new girls’ basketball coach",116,3788000,3904000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3734207-a21c5d723d5d669ea2e05a2884814de9&start=3788&end=3904","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3734207-a21c5d723d5d669ea2e05a2884814de9/thumbnail_3788000.jpg","/articles/6209621/Alabama/Board-approves-personnel-report-and-introduces-new-girls-basketball-coach","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6209621-97c7b86d8a4b0d2b0987493dbf9626d3/orig.mp4?Expires=1775015213&Signature=aPULwZLjU8fLjWRoazcRkum52GhQWvPHxDs~9zaymuD2Jf2B-uHStj~QBq4VKUZFLRpRMghfs3tR9pD7C16ZRZT66Uua18rjzSYuqJ5pmlIKk7lU0ojm5phrezskmh5zXM7DpxBDEieQfEw9EYnpyYtXAVHbz5x1~LCRPzt9RUN6T~9PTYe5eXIVG7XZ3P8CJaG5OMZBEJvtPuxrCdx6soSnMtT1Is5O6WqOsqIdNitg6~hORsKOYiGw4nlUMTLEX2p5xwaSuGZx9CFbOHWFxGlv9OsQ8aFJH7zion514fRMDoGmN7fKdJ12y6gV1DJ1T7BHiw3nMYZR4S-nY~eBcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Trussville City Schools Board of Education approved its personnel report, which included retirements, resignations, transfers and new hires, and formally introduced Kayla Alexander as the district’s new girls’ basketball coach.

Coach Tanya Hunter was recognized earlier at the meeting for moving into an administrative role as assistant athletic director.

Board members moved and seconded resolutions to update both leaders’ contracts, including merit-based raises to take effect Oct. 1; board members said Mr. Colvin drafted the contract language. Both resolutions were approved on voice votes with no recorded opposing votes.

Crane Moore reminded the board that, by law, evaluations for superintendent and CSFO are presented in public and that the process is intended to provide constructive feedback.

The salary schedule had been presented at the board’s May meeting and returned after the required 30-day period for final approval. The board discussed funding sources for the increase and were told that surplus funds carried forward from the prior fiscal year would be used to support the salary-step increases.

Superintendent Dr. Martin and Chief School Financial Officer Jim Kirkland participated in the discussion; Kirkland had described the year-end roll-forward and its specific components during the budget presentation earlier in the meeting.

The salary-schedule approval passed on a voice vote with no recorded opposition.

The amendment, presented by Chief School Financial Officer Jim Kirkland, shifts ending balances from the completed fiscal year into the 2025 budget and incorporates state grants and other funds that were not in the original budget. Kirkland described the change as routine but necessary for state reporting and year-end accounting.

Independent auditor Jason Hart of Carr, Riggs & Ingram told the board his firm was issuing an unmodified opinion, the cleanest standard. Hart said the district’s general-fund balance rose by about $11.5 million at year-end and that the general-fund balance is roughly six months of operating reserves, above the 30-day minimum the state requires.

Kirkland told the board the district’s general fund shows $64,000,000 in revenues and $69,000,000 in expenditures in the slide he presented, producing an $11,000,000 difference that largely reflects money rolling forward from the prior year. He identified roughly $5,000,000 tied to an A&T budget line and about $4,000,000 related to an Ainsworth grant for softball as the principal components of that $11,000,000.

Hart reviewed audit procedures and cautioned that financial reporting incorporates many estimates, including pension and other postemployment benefit assumptions; his required-communications letter to the board addressed those and other standard audit topics.

The budget amendment was included in the meeting’s consent agenda and was adopted by voice vote without recorded opposition.

The audit presentation fulfilled the district’s statutory audit requirement and set the financial context the board used in subsequent decisions on personnel and compensation.","The Trussville City Schools Board of Education approved a budget amendment to carry forward FY24 balances into FY25 and heard a final audit report that delivered an unmodified opinion and a stronger-than-required fund balance.","actionData","errors"]
