Summary
The board reviewed routine consent items including minutes and two out-of-state student trips, received a financial update from district finance staff, and heard that the district will apply for a Perkins reserve grant of about $550,000 to support industry credentials and postsecondary programs.
At the Feb. 10 workshop the Cannon County Board of Education presented routine consent items and grant planning matters.
The board listed consent items including approval of the Jan. 8 minutes and two overnight, out-of-state student trips: Cannon County High School's trip to the Tennessee FFA convention in Gatlinburg (March 21–26, 2026) and North Elementary's leadership summit (March 11–13, 2026). Chair called for any objections; none were raised at the workshop.
District finance staff (referred to in the transcript as Miss Damon) said they were finalizing food-service reconciliations and expected full reports by the following evening. Staff also noted final allocations for the ISM grant should be added correctly to the existing budget.
On item 10, the district's career-education lead (Miss Kennedy) said the district plans to apply for approximately $550,000 in Perkins reserve funding to support industry credentials, early postsecondary opportunities, and related enrollments. "We use it historically for our industry credentials, our early post secondary opportunities, like dual..." she said.
No formal votes were recorded at the workshop on these items; the matters were presented for review and will return for action as required on future agendas.
Next steps: staff will finalize the financial reports, prepare grant application materials for the Perkins reserve fund, and place any required action items on a future agenda.
