The Coffee County Board of Education approved its consent agenda, including a repaving bid for the district's transportation and maintenance areas, a bus purchase and other routine business. The board also approved an updated Internet acceptable use policy to comply with new state rules; one descriptor code, GARH, was removed from consideration and tabled.
During the meeting staff read budget and purchasing items into the record. The repaving bid for parking and transportation maintenance was announced as Harper and Company at $767,400; the board approved proceeding with the contract pending final terms, including a completion date. A separate bid to resurface the Coffee High School track was read as awarded to Eco Premier Coatings for approximately $168,094.
Board members discussed scheduling and completion timing for the paving work and noted staff would negotiate a contract completion date that coordinates with school schedules. The board accepted personnel recommendations and the 21st Century after-school program arrangements; it also acknowledged substitute teacher listings.
The consent agenda was accepted by voice vote during the meeting; no roll-call vote or recorded tally was given in the transcript. The board did not move the descriptor code GARH forward; members confirmed they wanted that item removed from tonight's approvals.
The board chair noted that some contract completion dates were not yet set and that staff would include those dates in the final contract language before authorizing work to begin.
