Board approves consent agenda, contracts and community partnerships
Summary
Trustees approved consent items, policy 5.11 on compensation, a $5,000 FY26 internal-audit quote, an MOU with Second Harvest Food Bank, and a grant-funded professional-development partnership with MTSU; the Buchanan North PTO request was tabled.
At its Aug. 14 meeting, the Cannon County Board of Education approved a slate of routine items and several specific agreements and contracts.
The board approved the consent agenda, which included July meeting minutes, a transfer of funds between federal and general accounts, and contingent approvals for sports coaches and assistants pending clear background checks and drug testing. Trustees also approved board policy 5.11 on compensation guides and contracts, including language to compensate the estate of a deceased teacher for accrued leave.
The board approved a memorandum of understanding with Second Harvest Food Bank to support school food-related services and a grant-funded partnership allowing Canon North to work with an MTSU professor to provide teacher professional development at no cost to the district. Trustees also authorized a $5,000 internal school funds audit proposal with Matlock Clements for FY26, the same fee as the prior year.
One item was tabled: the Buchanan North PTO’s request to register as a 501(c)(3) and open a separate bank account was deferred to the September meeting for further consideration.
Board members said the MTSU partnership is funded through a grant to the university and will not cost the district. Specific contract language and any required follow-up were referred to staff as appropriate.
