Summary
At a regularly scheduled meeting, the Clinton City Schools Board of Education approved the consent agenda, the July financial report by roll call, adopted two board policies on first and second reading, and appointed delegates to the Tennessee School Boards Association assembly.
The Clinton City Schools Board of Education at a public meeting approved its consent agenda and the district—inancial report for July, adopted two school board policies on first and second reading, and appointed delegates to the Tennessee School Boards Association (TSBA) assembly.
Board members unanimously approved the consent agenda and then approved the July financial report. A roll-call vote on the financial report recorded six "yes" votes from board members: Curtis Isabel, Lori Wilson, Tim Bible, Merle Price, Joey Smith and Debbie Heaton.
The board also approved, on first and second reading, a revision to the district—mployment/separation practices policy for tenured teachers (a TSBA-recommended change clarifying the right to copies of the documentation used in unpaid suspensions) and a new policy labeled in the meeting as "Title 6 and racial offenses," described by staff as a standardizing measure for how the district responds to incidents and how it will track those incidents in Aspen.
On delegate appointments, the board moved and approved Joey Smith and Lori Wilson as delegates to the TSBA delegate assembly in Nashville and named Merle Price as the alternate.
Procedural motions to approve the meeting agenda and the consent agenda were made and carried by voice vote earlier in the meeting; a motion to approve the financial report was carried by roll call as noted above. The motions to adopt the two policies and the motion to appoint TSBA delegates carried by voice votes.

Notes and clarifications: the revised separation practices policy was described in the meeting as a minor TSBA-recommended tweak clarifying access to documentation when a teacher is suspended without pay. The new —Title 6 and racial offenses— policy was presented as a district-wide standardization with a tracking code to be added in Aspen. District staff referenced a court case outside the district as the precipitating reason for the tweak but did not cite a specific case by name during the meeting.
