Wayne County board approves TISA accountability posting, clears student overnight trips

The Wayne County School Board voted during its October meeting to post the district’s TISA accountability report for public comment and approved two overnight student trips for Beta Club conventions in Nashville.

A board member described the annual TISA accountability report requirement and said the plan is posted on the district website with a public survey attached. A motion and second to post the plan for public comment were recorded; when the chair asked “All those in favor, say yes,” affirmative responses were recorded in the transcript. The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally showing how each board member voted.

The board also reviewed budget amendments; one added page concerned a safety grant and the presenter described the amendments as mostly shifting line items. The transcript does not record a separate roll-call vote for the general budget amendments during the excerpt provided.

Two overnight trip requests were presented for approval: Collinwood High School (Beta Club convention dates in November) and Collinwood Middle School (same destination, slightly different dates). A motion and second were recorded for those trips and the chair called for a vote; the transcript records the procedural motion and a second but does not provide a detailed roll-call tally in the recorded excerpt.

In other business, the board noted that the Wayne County High School golf team finished third at a state tournament and will compete again the following day. Board members also suggested procedural changes to future meetings — including rotating voting order and regular recognition of student achievements — and an idea to highlight graduates on the district Facebook page.

Where the transcript records a vote, the record indicates approval by voice vote but does not provide member-by-member vote tallies in the provided excerpt.
