Board approves purchase orders for ACT, AP materials, casework and authorizes new school clubs

The Washington County Board of Education approved multiple purchase orders and authorized two new extracurricular clubs at Grandview Elementary during its regular meeting.

Board members approved an annual purchase tied to the ACT program for high schools (purchase amount recorded in the meeting as $12,784) and authorized related advanced-placement (AP) materials for David Crockett High School. The board also approved purchase order 4363 for Preston Woodworking to upgrade casework/cabinetry for a high school bookstore project funded through an innovation-school model grant.

Separately, the board approved a request from Grama (Grandview) Elementary to add two after-school clubs: a courts club and a bridge (card-game) club. The board’s policy requires formal approval of new clubs; the motion to approve both clubs carried.

These purchase orders and extracurricular approvals were presented as routine consent and business agenda items. Board members discussed whether materials purchases were one-time costs for curricular materials; staff confirmed several were single-year purchases tied to materials bundles and grant funds.

Motions for the purchase orders and the extracurricular approvals carried; transcripts record “motion carried” for each item. Several purchase order numbers and amounts were read into the record during the meeting for transparency.
