Board hears safety and facilities updates, reviews November finances and approves consent agenda
Summary
Catoosa County school officials briefed the board on safety planning and SchoolDOG data, CTAE expansion plans and facility projects, while the finance director presented November 2025 financials; the board approved a consent agenda that included the November financial report.
The board received a multi-part update including safety planning, facility projects and financial reports. The district's safety lead described monthly safety topics and said the district is using SchoolDOG software to collect safety data; he noted the safety team includes principals, SROs, the sheriff's office and 911.
On facilities and career-technical education, staff reported industry feedback for the planned LFO career-technical expansion to add firefighting and emergency-services offerings; architects are incorporating comments and staff said the project is on track for the next school year. Staff also said they are in the contractor-selection phase for roofing projects at Ringgold Elementary, Ringgold Primary and other sites, and described an early-stage privately funded Ringgold High School baseball facility upgrade that will proceed through permits with the county.
Finance director provided November 2025 figures, reporting general-fund revenues of $33,078,004.61 and expenses of $42,000,001.28, and explained the district is using a line of credit pending the seasonal influx of funds in December and January. He outlined capital-project and debt-service fund balances and previewed the tentative January budget calendar and allotment schedule changes driven by state budget law updates.
The superintendent recommended multiple consent items including human-resources recommendations, minutes and the November financial report. The board moved, seconded and approved the consent agenda unanimously; no executive session was requested and the meeting adjourned.
