At the meeting the chair read the added language, which states that \"Virtual school students shall be permitted to participate in accordance with TSSAA or TMSAA guidelines. If a school is not a member of these organizations, virtual school students that are zoned for the school shall be permitted to participate in interscholastic athletics to the same extent as other students.\" The chair said the change reflects a recent codification by the General Assembly and aligns district policy with existing TSSAA and TMSAA practice.

A board member moved to adopt the revision on first and all readings, the motion was seconded by Mister Brown and approved by voice vote. The chair said the district already has been allowing virtual students to try out and participate under TSSAA policy for the past two years and that the board is codifying the change in district policy to reflect state-level action.

The policy amendment will be incorporated into the district policy manual as policy 4.301; board members did not raise amendments to the language during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Warren County School Board Meeting - August 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Warren County Schools Board adopted policy 4.301 to explicitly allow virtual-school students zoned to a school to participate in interscholastic athletics consistent with TSSAA and TMSAA rules; the change codifies recently amended state guidance and was approved on first and all readings.","taxTitle","Warren County, School Districts, Tennessee","taxId",72559,"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},6787890,"Warren County board authorizes research into 7.73-acre lot next to middle school",308,1760735,2069485,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5680783-b65c1e15f7467ea6cb9309d95878c487&start=1760&end=2069","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5680783-b65c1e15f7467ea6cb9309d95878c487/thumbnail_1760735.jpg","/articles/6787890/Tennessee/Warren-County-board-authorizes-research-into-773-acre-lot-next-to-middle-school","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6787890-8ffb41f2663c2af98f20c496ae29503d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770523675&Signature=gsQvp0lnSuHNDOKwW7wVTKz-0rK6shJ5SkhTRJOhSNNOGvrbSWuFyTn4ao4lfyZqRpH-T9~~g3mfPklLMoHMWKZWq5~JYbkNwBOMgy-nyintDxWz-LIwvw9RQEveRHEWu1I9hLOE7HzxgyZCahhf2z2ScqqrLSlm67RttZHzYk9~-72eXdlbNFFrtiub9wYKdteiO8xVhDmmftSm3c6-IEMxlM6ekwzL6WYDcYyGxuE6ghNmKozoF2J31Y9I81qcGdWeMc28gObKdEnGSiaCnvSOMefnwiox1h0m7K0PZ6Qcq8ue8pu6Q4BYaLagGt2j3FpayKkDTwRaAJgX5u9u8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Warren County Schools Board of Education on Tuesday voted to authorize staff to research a 7.73-acre parcel at 204 Bonner Street, a property across from Nunley Stadium that the district says could ease a chronic parking shortage at events.

Chair (unnamed) told the board the lot is listed with Kirby Realty and includes a house built in 1929 that appears to be unoccupied and in poor condition. He said the listing price appeared high and asked for authority to contact the realty firm to gather more information; the board approved the request to research the property by voice vote after a motion from Mister Caldwell and a second from Mister Judkins.

Board members discussed potential benefits and constraints. A board member said a rough calculation suggested an acre of parking laid out with aisles and landscaping would yield about 100–115 spaces per acre; the chair estimated that the district could expect roughly 75–85 additional spaces from the 3/4-acre equivalent area under typical layouts. Board members emphasized that the vote authorized only research and outreach to the listing agent, not a property purchase or budget commitment.

The packet that accompanied the agenda includes a photo and listing information for 204 Bonner Street; the chair noted the listing price in that packet as about $1.75 million and said he believed that price was likely negotiable. The board asked staff to determine ownership, confirm the asking price and parcel details with Kirby Realty, and explore demolition or relocation options for the existing house and the cost implications of converting the lot for parking.

No formal purchase decision was made. The board directed staff to return with findings and options at a future meeting before any acquisition or budgetary action would be considered.","The Warren County Schools Board voted to have staff contact the listing agent and gather details about a 7.73-acre parcel at 204 Bonner Street across from Nunley Stadium.

Operations staff reported the district has 141 active substitute teachers and 48 more in the onboarding process; the district’s target was about 150 active substitutes. The board noted improvements from the SubTracker tool that streamlines assigning substitute jobs and discussed the attractiveness of current pay rates: $95 per day for noncertified substitutes and $110 per day for certified teachers, figures approved earlier this year.

On enrollment, the chair said the district’s headcount is down compared with last year by roughly 50–100 students at this point (he estimated about 70 students) and reported district enrollment just under 6,000, approximately 5,975. Some schools were up (for example, Urban College and Warren Academy) while others were down (Centertown, Eastside, Hickory Creek). The chair attributed part of the decline to the Education Freedom Act and scholarship programs and noted a new local homeschool collective called Orchard may have affected numbers. The chair said the state established a funding floor under the Education Freedom Act that should preserve funding for disenrollments for nonvirtual students and that, as reported to him, the state would not track individual scholarship recipients leaving the district.

The board also approved general-purpose budget amendment number 2, a pass-through of a state-provided stipend for pre-K teachers who attended qualifying training; the district is covering the local portion so teachers receive a larger net payment. Motion to approve the amendment was made by Mister Johnson, seconded by Mister Jeffins, and carried on a voice vote.

Board members asked for a follow-up report when third-grade retention data is finalized and for any additional enrollment detail the district can provide next month.","Warren County Schools reported 141 active substitute teachers and about 48 in onboarding, a slight enrollment dip of roughly 50–100 students with district enrollment near 5,975, and approved a general-purpose budget amendment to pass through a state stipend to pre-K teachers.","actionData","errors"]
