The Millington Municipal Schools Board approved a fiscal-year 2026 budget amendment and authorized two vehicle purchases during the meeting.
Mr. Curry reviewed budget amendment 3 and told the board it included a general-fund increase of $218,121 tied to 2024–25 TISA outcomes and a $7,000 decrease to Title III related to the middle‑school project; the meeting record also references an increase to Title I funds but the spoken amount in the transcript was unclear. The board approved the amendment by roll-call vote.
On procurement, the board considered a recommended purchase of a 14-passenger activity van from Mid South Bus Center under a Sourcewell contract at a listed cost of $115,500 with funding identified in the FY '26 capital budget. A board member moved to table the van purchase pending receipt of a district capital-priority list; that motion did not receive a second and failed. Operations presenter Mr. LeBlanc described growing demand from athletics, ROTC and other programs, said the oldest activity bus has become increasingly unreliable, and argued the new van would keep larger trips covered and reduce reliance on charter buses. After questions about bench versus bucket seating, seat belts and wrap costs, the board approved the van purchase on roll call.
The board also approved purchase of a 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 under the Tennessee statewide contract for $49,991.40 to add capacity to the operations fleet; operations staff said the vehicle is budgeted in the transportation/operations budget and will be used by plant managers and operations staff to move equipment and support maintenance needs. A motion to table that truck purchase likewise failed for lack of a second; the purchase passed by roll-call vote (the transcript records at least one 'no' vote for that item).
Votes were recorded in the meeting transcript. The purchases were presented as budgeted items; board members seeking additional prioritization documentation moved to postpone but did not secure seconding motions. The meeting concluded shortly after adjournment was approved.
