At the Aug. 11 meeting of the Athens City Board of Education, Director of Schools Joe Barnett provided updates on the district's June and July financial reports for General Purpose and Federal Projects and reviewed updates related to ESSER funding.

The minutes note that copies of the financial documents and ESSER updates were included in the district minutes book; the minutes do not provide detailed line-item figures or a roll-call vote. Quarterly financial reports for General Purpose, Federal Projects and Food Service for the period ending June 30, 2025, were also listed on the consent agenda and approved as part of that package.

Barnett presented the updates during the meeting but the minutes do not record extended discussion, questions from individual board members, or a vote on the report itself; the presentation was informational and placed in the record with accompanying documents.
