The policy text read into the record described allowed exceptions, including use in documented health-care plans, Individualized Education Programs or 504 plans, assistive-technology needs for students with disabilities, and emergency situations. The policy also states unauthorized use or improper storage may result in confiscation and disciplinary action.

Board members debated how emergency parent communications would be handled if student devices were restricted. One board member said the district's BroadArrow notification system would be the method to alert parents in the event of an emergency; other members noted BroadArrow not always reaching every household and said specific procedures would need to be developed so staff could permit device use in emergencies.

After discussion, the board approved a motion by Mr. McMackins, seconded by Miss Thomas, to adopt policy 6.312(b) \"with the standards and policies to be developed by administrators and supervisors.\" The roll call recorded Miss Curtis, Mr. McMackins and Miss Thomas as voting \"aye\" and Mr. Mayo as voting \"nay.\" The motion passed 3–1.

Speakers during debate raised classroom-management and student-safety concerns. One parent-board member said restricting phones could reduce chaotic parent calls and resulting misinformation during incidents. Another board member said staff policies regarding employee phone use should be revisited to ensure consistency with the new student rule.

The board did not adopt a detailed administrative procedure at the meeting; it specifically directed principals and safety supervisors to develop procedures for how emergency exceptions will be handled across buildings. Board members said the policy is grounded in state law but implementation details will be set locally by administrators.

The vote followed months of public questions and prior discussion at workshops and was recorded as motioned and carried in the meeting minutes.","The board adopted policy 6.312(b) limiting student possession/use of wireless communication devices during the school day and directed administrators to develop standards and procedures for exceptions and emergency communication; the vote was 3–1.",{"_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},6645288,"Cannon County board approves $2,000 bonuses for noneligible staff; budget amendment required",661,132130,793265,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3797134-4af594b0a53bccaddc62f99044301c96&start=132&end=793","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3797134-4af594b0a53bccaddc62f99044301c96/thumbnail_132130.jpg","/articles/6645288/Tennessee/Cannon-County-board-approves-2000-bonuses-for-noneligible-staff-budget-amendment-required","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6645288-3e9080618ae6093558d6e6f852c5b331/orig.mp4?Expires=1771162220&Signature=aSEa912nommAg5zwLl7wCW1CpAmpAR1nHfh181EgIYJ5HqKtLDWgNZG2eHmtF77WEUIF5XPzX4cNjMSkK4ACy5VIquy8-YgApcsbgjRA6BssabBui7EjucKBLpCkI6PH8lMmOujlQz3Xllbt-qZaPFStiScfc2t7c1TVjQAw9ggyDqUMyfqfAfK6REEprbhRMLCGnDVXT7FmbjFsI-jIC~X5rYTNU-kefAdqiWQWSm0K4o3wrJer6er52iiVQDAmRiMMSfSgaIXg9bdZ6ALBRSkmag0h6Cvw0Tnh8mEGu2NzBMn3fsSO38GJZ7qD76qdiOM0xgY3kUQH1bWw~yv5XA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cannon County Board of Education voted unanimously June 9 to provide a one-time $2,000 bonus to all staff classified as noneligible licensed personnel and noneligible unlicensed personnel, with payment contingent on a budget amendment to release the funds.

Board members debated scope and cost before the vote. The board’s discussion noted that the state’s 2024–25 one-time teacher bonus funds cover a subset of educators and leave other employees out of that distribution; expanding bonuses districtwide would therefore require asking the county commission to approve a budget amendment to free roughly $300,000 in additional funds. Board members repeatedly said they preferred to seek pay parity rather than leave groups out.

“...if we’re going to ask for a budget amendment, I wouldn’t leave anybody out,” a board member said during debate, arguing that all staff were deserving. Another member said it “pains me” to deny additional pay but warned that the commission might not approve a large amendment this summer; that member asked that raises or bonuses be made a top priority in January budget talks.

Board member Miss Thomas moved to approve $2,000 for all noneligible licensed and noneligible unlicensed personnel; Miss Curtis seconded. The motion passed 4–0. Meeting remarks indicated the payment will be made in July once the required budget amendment is approved by the commission.

Board discussion included clarifying figures. A staff member noted that if a $1,000 bonus were given to noncertified employees, the approximate cost for that group would be $152,235.60 including benefits; doubling that amount would roughly double the cost. Board members also discussed which employee categories were included in “noneligible” (for example, part-time certified staff, some central-office certified staff, principals and nurses who were not included in the state bonus distribution). Several speakers asked that payroll staff be given a clear, itemized amount for certified and noncertified groups to ensure correct checks.

The board did not specify the final total dollar amount the district will formally request in its budget amendment; meeting discussion placed that figure “close to $300,000” if all excluded groups were included. The board directed staff to prepare the necessary amendment for the commission.

The vote was conducted by roll call. The board’s recorded action listed Miss Curtis, Mr. McMackins, Miss Thomas and Miss Trammell as voting “aye.”

The decision follows earlier discussion at the meeting about state-provided one-time teacher bonus funds for 2024–25 and which employees those funds do and do not cover. Board members said they expect to return to compensation discussions during the next budget cycle in January to consider longer-term pay adjustments.

Payment timing and the final scope remain contingent on the commission’s approval of the budget amendment and on the district’s payroll processing details.","After extended discussion about scope and cost, the Cannon County Board of Education voted 4-0 to grant a $2,000 one-time bonus to all noneligible licensed and nonlicensed staff, with payment contingent on a commission-approved budget amendment and planned payout in July.","actionData","errors"]
