Board approves routine consent items, calendar adjustment, emergency purchases and personnel actions

The Madison County School Board took several routine and time-sensitive votes at its Feb. 12 meeting. Key outcomes included approval of the consent agenda; acceptance of the district’s monthly financial reports; and approval of a revised BG-1 for renovation of the old Madison Middle track.

The board approved an emergency certification for a Madison Middle teacher to cover social studies for grades 6–8, and it created and ratified a 0.5 assistant band director position at Madison Southern, to be paid $3,320.50 plus fringe, funded by boosters.

To recover time lost to winter weather, the board amended the 2025–26 school calendar to make Feb. 16 and March 20 regular student attendance days rather than staff PD/flex days. The board also approved an emergency transformer equipment purchase through Cape Electric for $47,406 to replace a failed transformer at the Phillips Building; the district said procurement met emergency standards of the procurement code.

Motions were moved and seconded on each item and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the motions and voice approvals but does not include roll-call tallies. Staff will follow up as appropriate on implementation details for capital projects, personnel changes and emergency procurement.
