Votes at a glance: agenda, minutes and Schedule F rubric approved Jan. 7, 2026
Summary
At the Jan. 7 special meeting the commission adopted the meeting agenda, approved minutes from Sept. 12, 2025, and approved the Schedule F advisory-panelist application questions and scoring rubric; all motions passed on recorded 'Aye' votes.
The Tennessee Textbook and Instructional Materials Quality Commission recorded three formal actions during its Jan. 7 special meeting:
• Adoption of the meeting agenda — Motion by Mike Bell; second by John Weston. The commission adopted the agenda by voice/affirmation and roll-call 'Aye' responses from present members.
• Approval of minutes (Sept. 12, 2025) — Motion to adopt moved by Mike Bell. Roll-call votes recorded 'Aye' responses from present members and the motion passed.
• Approval of Schedule F advisory-panel application questions and scoring rubric — Motion by Mike Bell; second by Hayden Shannon. A roll-call vote recorded unanimous 'Aye' votes and the motion passed. The rubric includes a 0–4 scoring approach and sets a passing threshold of 80 percent.
Recorded vote tallies for the roll-call votes show affirmative votes from Dr. Linda Cash; Becky Atkinson; Mike Bell; Billy Bryan; Katie Capshaw; Laurie Cardoza Moore; Rebecca Farley; Kathy Hickey; Cherry Robertson; and John Weston. Staff recorded the motions as passing.
Why it matters: recording motions and roll-call votes documents the commission’s procedural approvals and sets the administrative baseline for implementation of the adoption cycle and reviewer selection process.
Next steps: staff will implement the rubric and training plan and circulate bid and applicant lists as described in meeting materials.
