Cullman County Schools board approves routine agenda items, adopts 2026–27 calendar

The Cullman County Schools board approved a series of routine agenda items during the meeting, including minutes, personnel actions, school requests, out-of-state field trips, financial and maintenance items, the school registration book and the 2026–27 school calendar.

Dr. Barnett recommended approval for each item and the board approved them by voice vote as recorded in the transcript (the record shows 'All in favor say yes' followed by 'The motion passes' for each motion). Specific approvals recorded in the transcript include the Dec. 18 minutes; personnel items listed as items 2–8; school requests 9–15; out-of-state field trips in item 16 (with a comment that a couple had been added in the last days); financial items 17–18; maintenance items in 19; the school registration book in 20; and the 2026–27 school calendar in item 21.

Dr. Barnett also delivered the superintendent’s report, noting operational dates: "January 19 the schools and the central office will be closed," progress reports will go home Feb. 6, and Feb. 16 will be a remote learning day. He also noted the county basketball tournament schedule. The board announced its next regular meeting for Thursday, Feb. 12, with a work session starting at 3:30 p.m.

Transcript text shows motions were made and seconded for each item; specific mover/second names were not consistently recorded in the excerpt (one entry reads, in the transcript, 'Shane Barnett or Shane Russ second'). The transcript records voice votes and does not record numerical tallies or named roll-call votes for these items.
