Summary
The Millington Municipal Schools Board of Education approved fiscal year 2025 budget amendment No. 6, a $103,370 kitchen‑equipment contract for Millington Early Learning Academy, adoption of a budget calendar, and a revision to student transfer policy 6.204. All motions passed on roll call votes recorded in the meeting.
The Millington Municipal Schools Board of Education approved multiple budget and operational items during its meeting, including a fiscal‑year 2025 budget amendment, a $103,370 kitchen‑equipment purchase for the Millington Early Learning Academy, adoption of the FY26 budget calendar, and a revision to student transfer policy 6.204. All listed motions passed on roll call votes.
Board members voted unanimously to approve Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Amendment No. 6, which the district described as including a $63,800 increase in the general fund (attributed to tuition collected), federal grant adjustments totaling a net change of $51,474 spread among Title I, Title II, Title III, IDEA Part B and preschool IDEA, and other small decreases. The district also reported that nutrition fund bids came in lower than earlier estimates, leaving $103,370 available in the nutrition fund balance for preschool purchases.
The board then approved a contract with Singer Equipment H and R for kitchen equipment for the Millington Early Learning Academy at a cost of $103,370. The district said the contract amount was lower than an earlier estimate of approximately $150,000 and that some small wares would still be purchased separately.
Separately, the board adopted a proposed budget calendar that schedules committee and work sessions leading to presentation of a balanced FY26 budget to the board on April 7, presentation to the City of Millington on April 14, and final submission to the state before June 30. The board also approved in one reading a modification to Board Policy 6.204 (student transfers). During discussion, district staff advised the board that state law (referred to in the meeting as the Tennessee Annotated Code) constrains how tuition for out‑of‑district students may be handled and that the revised policy does not impose tuition for the upcoming school year.
The meeting included a routine consent agenda approving previous minutes and designating policies in section 5 as correct; that consent motion also passed on roll call. The meeting adjourned by unanimous vote.
Below are the motions and roll‑call outcomes as recorded in the meeting transcript.
