Scott County Board approves organizational appointments, nursing-services agreement and bonuses; identifies potential historical monument site

The Scott County Board of Education took several consent and organizational actions during its meeting, approving appointments, a nursing-services agreement and a bonus payment and identifying a potential historical monument site.

Under board policy 14200, the board completed organization and recorded a roll-call affirmation that resulted in Lou Stanley serving as board chair for the organizing meeting. The board also moved to appoint a board representative to serve as the district liaison for the Tennessee School Boards Association delegate assembly; the board is eligible to appoint up to three voting delegates to that assembly. The board approved appointments to a disciplinary hearing authority, noting the authority will consist of seven members with at least two licensed employees.

On procurement and contracts, the board approved a nursing-services agreement with Stellar Therapy Services LLC related to a Medicare reimbursement program for school nurses; the transcript excerpt referenced a cost of $500 for an item labeled 10(h), but details of the contract term and total cost beyond that item were not specified in the available record.

The board approved a bonus payment for certified personnel (referred to in the transcript as an "Ivan Tim in Bonus" item); the transcript records a motion and second and roll-call affirmation but does not provide the precise dollar amount or eligibility criteria.

Separately, the board discussed identification of historical railcars as a potential location for a monument. The board noted the site "has been identified as a potential location for a historical monument" and that finalization of the plan "will be subject to approval by the county commission." The transcript does not show final approval by the county commission within the excerpt.
