Haywood County Schools board approves routine finance, facilities and personnel items

The Haywood County Schools Board of Education approved several routine business items during the meeting, including a Department of the Air Force addendum, a fence-replacement quote at Pisgah High School, monthly financial reports, a budget amendment and routine personnel recommendations.

Contract and facilities The board approved an addendum from the Department of the Air Force after staff review; the motion passed unanimously. The building-and-grounds committee brought a motion to award a $16,875 Fence Gates quote for Pisgah High School fence replacement; the board approved the quote and noted that the work will be paid by insurance proceeds.

Finance and budget The finance committee presented the regular monthly financial reports; the board approved the reports unanimously. The board also approved Budget Amendment No. 2 for fiscal year 2025 to adjust budget totals to reflect current allocations and expenditures.

Personnel The board approved personnel actions presented by the superintendent, including employments, separations, status changes, long-term substitutes and coaches. The superintendent described the personnel slate in the meeting as routine and said the district had 15 separations, multiple status changes and several new hires and coach assignments; the board approved the personnel report unanimously.

Why it matters These approvals allow the district to proceed with necessary maintenance and ensure that financial and personnel records are current and in compliance with state reporting requirements.

Ending: The board said work on additional facility fencing at other schools is ongoing and that staff will continue to report finance and personnel changes at future meetings.
