Summary
The Cullman County Board of Education approved a series of routine items by voice vote, including December minutes, personnel items, school requests, financial items, two out-of-state trips, surplus equipment at Hanceville Middle, an updated 2024-25 salary schedule creating a separate career-coach line, and the 2025-26 school-year calendar.
The Cullman County Board of Education approved a series of routine agenda items by voice vote during its meeting. The board passed motions approving the December minutes; personnel recommendations; school requests; financial items; two out-of-state field trips; surplus of old lockers and desks at Hanceville Middle School; an updated 2024-25 salary schedule that establishes a separate line for career coaches; and the 2025-26 school-year calendar.
Votes and motions were recorded as voice votes with no numerical tallies provided in the meeting transcript; each motion was followed by the chair’s call for “All in favor, say yes,” and the meeting record shows “Motion passes.”
Votes at a glance - Approval of the December minutes — Passed (voice vote). Motion: “I recommend the approval of the December minutes.” - Personnel items (Items 3–10) — Passed (voice vote). Motion: “I recommend the approval of personnel items 3 through 10.” - School requests (Items 11–23) — Passed (voice vote). Motion: “I recommend the approval of all the school requests listed in items 11 through 23.” - Financial items (Items 24–25) — Passed (voice vote).

Motion: “I recommend the approval of the 2 out of state field trips that are listed in item number 26.” The superintendent noted one trip involves multiple high-school cheerleading squads competing at the national level and encouraged community or corporate financial support due to travel costs. - Surplus (Item 27) — Passed (voice vote). Motion: “I recommend the approval of the Hanceville Middle School to surplus or veil old lockers and desks.” - Updated salary schedule 2024–25 (Item 28) — Passed (voice vote). Motion: “I recommend the approval of the 24/25 updated salary schedule.” The board said the only change was to create a separate salary line for career coaches rather than leaving them aligned with teacher pay. - 2025–26 school-year calendar (Item 29) — Passed (voice vote). Motion: “I recommend the approval of the 25 26 school year calendar.”
Other business: The superintendent reported that nine-week progress reports go home Feb. 7 and encouraged the public to attend or watch the Cullman County basketball tournament via ccboe.tv; the superintendent said viewers have come from about 24 states and three countries. The board set its next regular meeting for Thursday, Feb. 13, 2025, with a work session at 3:30 p.m.
Why it matters: The salary-schedule change creates a distinct career-coach pay line, which affects compensation structure for newly hired career coaches. Approval of out-of-state trips and the calendar affects planning and travel budgets for participating schools.
What the record shows: Each motion passed by voice vote; the transcript does not list numeric vote tallies or named movers for these motions.
