Tullahoma Board adopts model policy 5.118 on background investigations
Summary
The Tullahoma Board of Education voted to adopt model policy 5.118, aligning local background-investigation rules with state law and State Board rules; the adoption was approved by voice vote after a first and final reading.
The Tullahoma Board of Education voted to adopt model policy 5.118 on background investigations during its Feb. 18 meeting.
Gigi Robinson, board member and chair of the policy committee, recommended the policy and said the change "will help us to better align with law and state board rules." The motion to adopt the policy was moved by Board Member Andy Witt and seconded by Board Member Rosie Graham; the chair put the measure to a voice vote and the motion was approved.
Board members said the policy team reviewed the district policy manual to ensure it is current with new state-level rules. Robinson told the board the proposal would be presented as a first and final reading during the meeting.
The board took the action after brief procedural remarks and no extended public discussion. The meeting transcript records the motion, second and a voice vote; a recorded roll-call tally was not provided in the transcript.
The adopted policy is intended to standardize the district's procedures for background checks for staff and other covered individuals so local practice matches state requirements. The board did not specify an implementation timetable during the discussion recorded in the transcript.
The board will publish the updated policy in the district policy manual and make any required notifications per state rules.
