Summary
At its December meeting the Cleveland City Schools Board of Education approved the consent agenda, made a minor correction to the 2026–27 academic calendar, adopted the 2027–28 calendar and approved two groundskeeper job descriptions; all votes were unanimous.
The Cleveland City Schools Board of Education approved a package of routine and calendar items during its evening meeting. The board unanimously accepted the consent agenda and then approved two calendar-related actions: a correction to the 2026–27 calendar and adoption of the 2027–28 calendar.
Director of Schools Dr. Elliott recommended a minor revision to the 2026–27 calendar to designate July 31 as a teacher work day. The board adopted that change by voice vote after a motion and second; the roll-call recorded Peggy Pesterfield, Jody Riggins, Nate Tucker, Renee Diamond, Matt Coleman, Carolyn Ingram and Andy Lay voting yes.
The draft 2027–28 calendar was presented by Mr. Kaiser, who said the draft meets policy constraints including a minimum of 180 student attendance days, in-service days and alignment with Bradley County fall and spring breaks. After board discussion the district recommended adoption; the board voted unanimously to approve the 2027–28 calendar.
In facilities business the board approved two job descriptions — lead groundskeeper and groundskeeper — forwarded from the facilities committee. Those items passed unanimously as presented.
No public comments were offered during the meeting. The board adjourned at 06:38.
