Summary
At a regular meeting, the Loudon County School Board approved a one-year extension to the director’s contract with a raise and one week of vacation and cleared a set of routine items including budget amendments, textbook adoption, custodial and coaching approvals, and two easements.
The Loudon County School Board approved a one-year extension to the director’s contract, budget amendments tied to insurance proceeds and other routine agenda items during its meeting.
The board voted to extend the director’s contract for one year with a salary increase “the same as the teacher raises” and one additional week of vacation. The motion to extend the contract was made by Miss Harvey and seconded by Miss Barber; the motion was approved by roll call and no opposing votes were recorded in the meeting transcript.
Board members approved three budget amendments that included an insurance check to replace a high jump apparatus damaged by wind at Loudon High School, internal adjustments to existing allocations for Loudon High School and Carl Bergens, and an increase in CTU expenditures to cover accreditation-related costs. A staff member stated the changes would have no effect on the fund balance. The transcript did not specify dollar amounts for the budget amendments.
Other routine approvals included the consent agenda, adoption of new textbooks, non‑faculty coach appointments, and acceptance of a custodial contract for HES. The board also approved a line described in the meeting as “$25.26 mill prices” (as stated in the transcript); the item was not further clarified in the recorded discussion.
The board approved two property easements related to school facilities. A motion by Miss Harvey, seconded by Mister Presley, approved an easement for a new school building. The board separately approved an easement at Greenback to install a line identified by the presenter; no dissent was recorded.
All actions on the agenda were approved by roll call during the meeting. The transcript does not record formal “no” votes, abstentions, or a numerical roll‑call summary for each item, and specific dollar amounts were generally not provided in the recorded discussion.
The meeting included no formal or prolonged debate on any of these approvals; most passed with brief motion, second and roll‑call votes.
