Cullman County Schools board approves consent agenda, personnel moves and a sewer agreement addendum
Summary
At its meeting the board approved minutes, personnel actions, school requests, financial statements, new bank accounts for two schools, multiple surplus and transportation items, and an addendum to a sewer agreement with Living Waters Utilities; it also authorized notices of nonrenewal for probationary teachers and non-extension of supplements.
The Cullman County Schools Board of Education approved a broad consent agenda and several personnel items during its regular meeting.
Dr. Barnett recommended approval of the April minutes and multiple grouped consent items; the board voted to approve them without recorded roll-call tallies after motions and seconds on each item. The approvals covered personnel items (items 2 through 11), school requests (items 12 through 24), financial statements (items 25 through 27), bank accounts for the new Hanceville Primary and Holly Pond Middle schools (items 28 and 29), out-of-state field trips (item 30), and several surplus and maintenance items including a school bus auction (item 31) and surplus weight equipment at West Point (item 32).
The board also approved transportation and child nutrition department items (33–36) and a maintenance item (37). The board approved addendum number 2 to a sewer agreement with Living Waters Utilities (item 38). No motion timetables or roll-call vote tallies were provided in the public transcript; each motion passed after the board chair called for “all in favor.”
More consequential personnel actions near the meeting's end: the board authorized the superintendent to provide written notice to certain probationary certified personnel of nonrenewal of their contracts for the 2024–25 school year (item 42). The board also authorized written notice that certain supplemental assignments would not be extended into the 2025–26 school year (item 43). Both motions passed in the same manner as the consent items.
