Coffee County board approves consent agenda including repaving bid and track resurfacing; Internet-use policy noted

The Coffee County Board of Education approved its consent agenda at the regular September meeting, clearing routine business and several facilities and transportation items.

District staff summarized the consent package, which included approval of minutes and financial reports for the end-of-month periods (corrected in board materials as June 30, July 31 and Aug. 31, 2025), authorization to purchase a school bus, and acceptance of a maintenance/transportation repaving bid described in meeting materials as approximately $750,000. The board also approved a resurfacing project for the Coffee High School track with Eco Premier Coatings.

During discussion, board members asked whether a completion date was included in the repaving contract; staff said no completion date had been finalized and that a timeline would be negotiated as part of contract approval. The district presented an Internet Acceptable Use policy (IFPG/Internet) intended to align district practices with new state rules; the board said descriptor code GARH would be removed from the agenda and tabled for later consideration.

A motion to accept the consent agenda was called and approved by voice vote. The board later moved to accept personnel recommendations; that motion was seconded by Miss Jowers and approved by voice vote.

No separate ordinances, resolutions or contested contracts were voted down at the meeting. Board members said staff would return with contract completion dates and further details as the administration finalizes agreements.

The meeting also recognized teacher and staff awards and included public comment on student safety.
