Dr. Langford said the legislature approved state-funded bonuses and that the district had previously passed a resolution in May and an amendment in June to prepare for local implementation. He told the board the district \"couldn't budget it because we don't have the revenue yet,\" and that the amendment before the board would add the revenue so the district could process payment. He said, if the budget amendment passed that night, the district planned to \"roll those out on Friday\" and communicate with teachers mid‑August; he referenced speaking with \"Miss Amanda Brown\" about payroll timing.

On federal funding, Dr. Langford said the district's position had changed quickly: \"We were in a very different place on Friday. All the federal money was released,\" he said, and additional federal disbursements were expected to arrive that week.

Dr. Langford also described a recent community distribution and volunteer efforts. He said a coalition including Live Love Nashville, United Way and local churches provided backpacks and school supplies; \"they gave us a 1,500 backpack school with school supplies. We passed out 564 backpacks on Thursday, to families that came in,\" he said (numbers reported by Dr. Langford in the meeting; not independently verified). He described planned service and in‑service activities for staff and a potential leadership/innovation program with student volunteers.

The board recorded an approval for the budget amendment item discussed in the director's report; specific motion text and the names of a mover and seconder were not included in the transcript excerpt, but the chair called the vote and members responded \"aye.\"

Ending: Dr. Langford said the district would notify teachers when payroll is scheduled to include the state bonuses and that the board will receive follow-up reports on implementation and federal program spending.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Education Committee (Cam2) 7/28/25","oneSentenceSummary","Director of Schools Dr. Langford told the board that the state legislature approved teacher bonuses in a January special session and the district will amend its budget to incorporate the revenue so payroll can distribute bonuses; he also reported that federal program funds were released and described recent backpack and community service efforts.","taxTitle","Sumner County, Tennessee","taxId",19115,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6152021,"Sumner County schools: bleachers, stadium work mostly on schedule; Station Camp track may lag",0,97000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5500647-29e1eacfd4ae37ed4f5b5c6d8a6ddc0d&start=97&end=97","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5500647-29e1eacfd4ae37ed4f5b5c6d8a6ddc0d/thumbnail_97000.jpg","/articles/6152021/Sumner-County/Tennessee/Sumner-County-schools-bleachers-stadium-work-mostly-on-schedule-Station-Camp-track-may-lag","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152021-5477ae0b8050ed39e2d0070be2b66831/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200947&Signature=TPmcT-gHh1mteb5fulFt69NJHrHhSbuJbwv0oIYDL4TsukXndv5eZYNLvN6YsX9dq7xl448HWS0OG-79h6Ib7ncy1kJF3Kojvz2HeruyZ1JjruuiJFN0ODQy-dvPHPjksYhdY6EPGKn64RwewXUa2A49vnWtQvD8Ft3YTmidZsyUBGe6k~N2aJw~6fMdp8kKVPWUG2mGEYxgHYT8ziuNlhx~aiZKBjfWkqcgrIiP-UziCIgXZoxkaQEPseUiflngxQ6Pl7ogcNvy6rHSUqAy6sn-l-HdY5sf9wKoHW~-bb4et~Vk1CrSlw7TmiyL3zjhZpE6B-rFgdB-BFuY5CqFqg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sumner County Director of Schools Dr. Langford said most athletic-facility projects across the district are progressing and are expected to be ready for the fall season, though work at Station Camp High School may run behind schedule because of recent heavy rain.

Dr. Langford, the district's director of schools, told the board that bleacher installation at Hendersonville and other sites was moving quickly and that a press box was being delivered. \"When I pulled in Friday at 05:30 in the morning, they were unloading the aluminum. The press box should be there today,\" he said. He added that Portland is \"done, for the most part,\" noting only cleanup and punch-list work remained.

The director said Station Camp was the project most at risk of delay. \"We really turned the corner of Station Camp last week,\" he said, but added that repeated rain days slowed dirt work and the timing for laying the track surface. He explained that the track surface must cure for about 30 days after installation, and that the project needed a stretch of dry days that the site did not always get.

Dr. Langford described contingency plans if Station Camp is not ready for a scheduled home game: the team could flip a home date to another Sumner County stadium, or play the game at an alternate county venue such as Rockvale, with compensation and logistics arranged for groups providing paint, concessions and other services. \"Worst case scenario, they would flip it and play it at Rockville this year, then they would come here next year,\" he said.

The director also discussed Gallatin High School and soccer-season preparations, saying the school must clear an area and complete dirt-and-track work before the season starts. He described infrastructure work at Gallatin that would allow adding a stadium on campus at a later date without redoing utilities and other systems.

Dr. Langford highlighted other site work: North Southern was \"coming along,\" Hendersonville would change the skyline when finished, and Indian Lake-area work had progressed after two years of little visible activity. He also told the board that recent projects included soil replacement under tracks that had been cracking and eroding.

On cost and upgrades, Dr. Langford noted the district is installing a new track and irrigation system, saying in the meeting that the district is \"also getting a $2,100,000 track and, you know, new irrigation.\" He cautioned that some ancillary items — concession and bathroom buildings and underground plumbing — could remain as punch-list work after the main structures are in place.

The board heard several logistical details and limitations: some turf, track and field work cannot proceed until proper dry weather windows occur; installing track surfaces requires a curing period that affects when games can be held; and moving a home game typically involves compensating outside groups that provide field painting and concessions.

No formal motion specific to construction sequencing was recorded; the discussion was part of the director's regular facilities update.

Ending: The district will monitor Station Camp progress closely over the coming weeks and use alternate venues if necessary. Dr. Langford said the district was hopeful most projects would be usable at kickoff but that Station Camp remained a watch item.","Sumner County Director of Schools Dr. Langford told the board that most stadium and bleacher projects across the district are progressing and should be ready for fall, but work at Station Camp High School may not meet its first home-game timeline because heavy rain delayed paving and track surfacing.","actionData","errors"]
