At the Shelby County Board of Education meeting, a board member moved and another seconded a motion to advance the purchase of scheduling software designed to support student interventions; board discussion described the software as a master‑scheduling tool to create intentional intervention times.

This matters because the software would be used to schedule targeted interventions for students below grade level and formalize intervention time across middle and high schools.

When asked about the schedule and purpose, an administrator explained the tool would allow principals to place students into intervention groups and set intentional times to deliver on‑grade and below‑grade interventions. The discussion referenced RTI work already underway and said principals are enthusiastic about the tool as a way to operationalize intervention scheduling.

Relatedly, staff explained the district is asking extracurricular groups to list every planned fundraiser so the board can provide oversight and maintain transparent records. Staff noted some activities (for example, teams or groups that may qualify for national competitions such as Odyssey of the Mind) may need to fundraise for travel and registration; the board said it wants to see and approve fundraisers in advance to ensure proper paperwork and oversight.

A motion to move the item was made and seconded and then discussed; no vote result was recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
