\"These 253 incidents, involved a total of 33 students,\" said Dr. Johnson, who presented the report and explained that incidents are reported to the state and federally. Dr. Johnson said a single behavioral episode can generate multiple reportable restraint events if a student de-escalates and then re-escalates within the same episode; each is counted separately for reporting.

Dr. Johnson described the circumstances in which restraints are used: when a student poses a risk of harm to themselves or others, or is attempting to elope to a dangerous location. He said staff receive regular training in crisis prevention and intervention; all special-education staff receive initial training and periodic refreshers. He also said that if an untrained staff member must intervene in an emergency, the district must provide training within 10 days of the incident.

When asked about types of restraints, Dr. Johnson said the district uses no mechanical or chemical restraints and that staff do not place students in prone positions: \"Mechanical, nothing, physical, nothing chemical. ... We do not have any students on the ground in prone positions by any means,\" he said.

The report includes demographic breakdowns by sex, disability category and grade level; the presenter said the district monitors those data to check for disproportionality and to identify schools that may need additional training or supports. If a student requires isolation or restraint and the intervention is not already documented in the student's individualized education program (IEP), staff convene an IEP meeting promptly to determine whether the IEP should be updated.

Board members had opportunity for questions; no policy or procedural changes were adopted at the meeting.","The district presented its annual isolation and restraint report to the Dickson County Board: 253 documented incidents involved 33 students; the presenter described definitions, training requirements, demographic tracking and follow-up procedures.",{"_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},6552890,"Board hears update on DCHS athletic complex; project about $20,000 over original estimate, special session scheduled",529,1806000,2335000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5088887-688921c2a8e72d26ae648c263277ed40&start=1806&end=2335","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5088887-688921c2a8e72d26ae648c263277ed40/thumbnail_1806000.jpg","/articles/6552890/Tennessee/Board-hears-update-on-DCHS-athletic-complex-project-about-20000-over-original-estimate-special-session-scheduled","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552890-82100eff86764a30fff25c778f892cd6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770936988&Signature=L3rVEHZ9B4fgTgbCsB30mOeuOtu-uiOQL0I3p7WBdxQf4PxyMYunsW7XSpq9CZsi4DW8GuoHuj8LHm~wa8ExfBuqROJiqE3wXNQK5LxOreBmL1ZedUy9zFhPBTw55~fuSk3FmkgFJiGqdXu8rizIzX9KWnnMPP5vMx7qXzPYgrisaFeV1ohzdS7uqYKBWzffVA36RTrzBOXdzsra~O8Tj6Pdwq4adejzE4mbpmMQxoWpZZ1fi73AA3V9fg8mrrNJanqX2X~K-7a~xjjEMXHjRnWDmHdzQMWsjKjy1KZN2xJvTtYoenvL0LQ5RK5mfXQ8oeTLHous4EeLDSJi2Lbcyw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dickson County Board of Education received an update on the Dixon County High School athletic complex and was told final construction numbers will be available at a special meeting in July.

Mister Corleau, who presented the maintenance update, said the district held a pre-construction meeting and that construction on the high school field will begin in the next few weeks. \"We had our first pre con meeting on the high wall at Dixon High School...we're, like, $20,000 over budget, our original estimate,\" he said, adding that some bleacher-repair items lacked final pricing.

Corleau said the scope includes field turf, a new track, tennis-court pricing and soccer-field work. He said vendor pricing includes two grooming machines for routine field maintenance and that some track infield and runway work is in the current estimates. Board members asked that soccer goals and track equipment be included in the final bid package or funded from the district's athletic fund if needed.

Board members discussed adding lacrosse lines and other future-use lines while installing the new turf. One board member said several neighboring districts already include lacrosse lines and recommended adding them now because it is cheaper than retrofitting the field later; another noted removable paint is an option but may be short-lived. Corleau and board members asked that athletic directors and coaches be added to the drawing and selection process.

The district reported a five-year warranty on the turf with potential renewal options if district maintenance requirements are met. The board directed staff to present final numbers at a special session tied to a July 8 meeting so members could review the full bid package, including bleacher repairs and equipment costs, before taking action.

No formal construction contract was awarded at the meeting; the board scheduled further review.","District staff reported progress on the Dixon County High School athletic complex — including field turf, track, tennis courts and bleacher repairs — and asked the board to review final bid numbers in a July special session after noting a roughly $20,000 variance from early estimates.",{"_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},6552893,"Board approves routine items, purchasing cooperatives and surplus vehicles; piggyback contract postponed",830,958000,1788000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5088887-688921c2a8e72d26ae648c263277ed40&start=958&end=1788","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5088887-688921c2a8e72d26ae648c263277ed40/thumbnail_958000.jpg","/articles/6552893/Tennessee/Board-approves-routine-items-purchasing-cooperatives-and-surplus-vehicles-piggyback-contract-postponed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552893-27b7f37f8736ec9bb35cb06a320e5bc7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770936988&Signature=W4bcO9XoTX4ewdcO1IFsZz7-Rrn~xW55S5ILAu3pYKKxX6O8vFZjt~L9gm~MDvoiuLYhWmLo~U1IP17vSVdl0k3KkmudCS-KqxlFaXrOHrgQQDPve0cjAp6E39-MOfHzOPeUZQCKGRsR8tdRfTOCM5ahb3zOJobCdWUfu8k5edTExUv7IQBkDYxphbdlns-cIw9V~sbku7Ooe~LCWseRIQ3Ehn-ZmaWIlMrKzF-Yb5iSDxzVVkwXOV52hFSzC1v0e-lXTXP-bPQD7QhQLNYzZCgfsMrTXw0YXr2hQWI9Qh7pnEej6GnDet~aJ9wYIRr5bUNZAGqAZtD8ozpOm~9wqA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Dickson County Board of Education approved a series of routine agenda items and purchasing agreements at its June meeting, and postponed consideration of a piggyback contract for internet services.

The board voted to approve the agenda as amended and to adopt minutes from the prior meeting. It then approved the monthly financial report and budget amendments for June 2025 after brief discussion about late additions to the amendments.

Board members voted to approve four purchasing-cooperative master agreements — BuyBoard, Sourcewell, TIPS and Omnia — as requested by auditors. The board also approved surplussing three buses (Bus 80, Bus 81, Bus 82) and Truck 511 from the transportation fleet and authorized the disposal process. Two field trips — the Dixon County High School track team trip to Montgomery Bell and the Dixon Middle School cheer camp at UT Martin — were also approved.

A proposed piggyback contract for internet services and related E-rate participation was discussed but the board postponed action until next month to allow IT staff and legal review; a motion to postpone passed.

Second-reading policy changes were approved on a group vote. The policies approved on second reading were 4.2011 (class size ratios), 4.603 (promotion and retention), 6.4001 (student surveys, analysis and evaluations), 6.503 (homeless students) and 6.505 (students in foster care).

Votes were recorded verbally as \"All ayes\" on multiple items; no roll-call vote tallies with named votes were provided in the public record.

The board also scheduled a special session and work session tied to the Dixon County High School athletic-complex discussion; times and a separate agenda will be posted.","At its June meeting the Dickson County Board approved the agenda, minutes, monthly financials, budget amendments, four purchasing-cooperative master agreements and the surplus of four vehicles; the board postponed action on an IT piggyback contract to next month.","actionData","errors"]
