The Coffee County School Board voted Thursday to approve its consent agenda, which included financial reports through Sept. 30, 2025; surplus property listings; out-of-state student travel requests; and a furniture purchase for Westgreen Elementary.

During discussion, finance staff reviewed the district’s internal controls, procurement thresholds and audit schedule. The FY24 audit was completed in February 2025, a staff member said, and the FY25 audit is expected at the end of the current fiscal year after a three- to four-month field review. The district also said monthly financial reports are posted on the district website and staff attend Department of Education and Department of Audits workshops to stay current on deadlines and changes.

On surplus property, the board recorded items including tractors, mowing equipment, a holding tank and five buses. The board directed that four buses be offered for sale through GovDeals and that one inoperable bus be transferred to the Coffee County Fire Department for training purposes.

District staff provided an update on recovery from Storm Helene: a greenhouse at Coffee High School is waiting on anchors for delivery, playground repairs have been completed at some schools, and fencing work at Westgreen Elementary will be scheduled to tie into completion of new construction.

The board also approved a furniture purchase for Westgreen Elementary that the board described as funded by a state contract; the meeting transcript refers to the funding source as "East Bloss." Amy Bynum presented that furniture proposal.

Board members approved the personnel recommendation list, which included regular monthly hires and additional staff for the 21st Century after-school program. The personnel motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.

Motions recorded in the meeting included a motion to adopt the consent agenda (moved by Miss Wade and seconded by Mr. Jowers) and a motion to accept the personnel recommendations (moved by Miss Wade and seconded by Mr. Jowers). Both motions were approved by voice vote during the meeting.
