Summary
The Loudon County School Board approved the consent agenda, non-faculty coach appointments, the district budget and policy updates (first and final reading). Director Garrett reported district performance and set a Feb. 5 workshop date.
The Loudon County School Board voted on several routine but consequential items and heard a directors report during the meeting.
The board approved the consent agenda after a motion by Mister Cusick and a second by Miss Harvey. A roll call shows Miss Hatcher, Miss Barber, Mister Disney, Mister Bridges, Miss Broder, Miss Harvey, Mister Cusick, Mister Presley and Sister Newman all answered "Yes," carrying the measure.
The board then approved non-faculty coach appointments on a motion by Mister Cusick with a second from Mister Disney; the roll call returned affirmative votes from the members present. Later, the board accepted the proposed budget following a motion by Mister Presley and a second by Miss Harvey; roll-call votes recorded affirmative responses from board members including Mister Disney, Miss Bridges, Miss Broward, Miss Harvey, Mister Cusick, Mister Kresley, Mister Newman, Patrick and Miss Parker.
Policy updates presented as a first-and-final reading were moved by Miss Parker and seconded by Miss Browder; the board approved those updates by roll call.
During the directors report, Mister Garrett told the board the district issued two parent notifications this quarter under new state credit-assessment rules and highlighted academic gains: the district has six reward schools this year (the most it has had); several grade-area gains were described as a record for the district; and the district continues to support career-technical programs such as aviation, which the director said the system largely funds so finances are not a barrier to participation. Garrett invited board members to a workshop on Feb. 5; after the workshop the culinary arts program will prepare a meal at a Loudon High School home basketball game against Oliver Springs to recognize the board.
After concluding business, Mister Disney moved to adjourn, seconded by Mister Presley, and the meeting ended.
The votes and approvals reported here are taken from the meeting roll calls; specific personnel names for coach appointments were approved but not itemized in the transcript.
