The Lenoir City Schools Board of Education on Oct. 23 approved a package of routine items including minutes from prior meetings, the district’s annual local education agency (LEA) compliance certification, its FY26 TESA accountability report, a Nike/BSN sports rewards contract for athletics, the district’s 2026 board meeting pacing agenda and several appointments for association delegates.

Board staff presented each item briefly and answered questions. The LEA compliance certification was described as the required annual attestation that the district follows applicable state and federal laws and State Board of Education rules. The FY26 TESA accountability report was presented as the district’s required accountability summary showing progress on budget- and strategy-linked goals. The Nike BSN sports rewards program contract was discussed briefly with district athletic staff available to answer questions; the athletic director confirmed coaches had been consulted.

The board also appointed up to three delegates to the Tennessee School Boards Association (TSBA) leadership conference and convention and appointed a legislative liaison. Motions for these items were made and seconded; each vote passed by the members present.
