The Collierville School Board on Feb. 25 approved a set of routine and budgetary actions, including a $870,336 amendment to the district general fund (resolution 2025-04), a $243,274 contract to install safety film on first-floor windows and a new $400 fee for high-school girls flag football.
The actions were taken during the board’s regular business meeting and passed on roll-call votes after brief staff presentations. The board also approved a list of teachers granted tenure and adopted the consent agenda.
The budget amendment (Resolution 2025-04) moves $870,336 within the general fund and raises the amended general fund total to $121,778,515, according to Assistant Superintendent Miss Floyd. The amendment includes line-item adjustments described by Floyd as corrections to estimated bonuses and transfers to pay for printing of benchmark tests; it also includes $140,000 added for a playground at Bailey Station and a $25,000 payment to B&H Photo for a high-school project. The amendment contains the final scheduled payment under the district’s compromise and settlement agreement with Shelby County, listed in the amendment as $507,819.
Board members approved payment contracts and fee changes in separate votes. The board awarded National Blazing Solutions a contract for $243,274 to install phase-2 window safety film on first-floor classrooms, administrative offices and exterior windows. The board also updated high-school activity fees to add girls flag football, with a $400 fee to cover uniforms, equipment, entry fees and awards.
The board voted to approve the list of teachers recommended for tenure and recognized those educators during the meeting. The list called forward educators from multiple schools in the district; the board asked tenured teachers to come forward for certificates and a group photograph.
Other routine approvals during the meeting included the meeting agenda, the January 2025 monthly financials, the January 28 minutes and the consent agenda.
