Summary
The board set aside up to $220,000 for a third bay at the county garage, approved three surplus resolutions (2026-146, -147, -148), authorized a one-time TSBA policy manual review at up to $8,250, and passed multiple budget amendments across general, federal and capital project funds.
In a series of largely procedural votes, the Jefferson County school board approved funding set-asides, surplus declarations, a one-time policy review and multiple budget amendments.
The board voted to set aside up to $220,000 from the general fund balance for a proposed third bay addition to the county garage to support fleet and bus maintenance. Proponents described the action as strengthening interagency cooperation and ensuring adequate space for vehicle maintenance; a long-time mechanic on the board stressed the operational benefits of additional bays.
The board approved three surplus resolutions: Resolution 2026-146 (Jefferson Middle School surplus), 2026-147 (transportation surplus) and 2026-148 (technology surplus). Each resolution was moved, seconded and carried in the roll call noted in the record.
On policy safeguards, the board approved a one-time policy manual review by the TSBA to occur after July 1, 2026, at a cost not to exceed $8,250, with that amount to be included in the 2026–27 district budget.
The board also approved three budget amendments: General Fund (1-41 #13, items 1–6), Federal Fund (1-42 #6, item 1) and Capital Project Fund (1-77 #4, item 11). Each amendment was moved and approved by roll call in the meeting record.
All listed motions were recorded in the minutes as passing in the meeting's roll calls (many recorded as 7–4–0); the meeting record does not show substantive amendments to these measures during debate.
