Summary
The board approved multiple routine items: a reallocation of $3,192.48, a $74,600 Tennessee tutoring grant, a two-year gym-floor contract for $42,600, food-service bid renewals and a CLSD literacy consulting arrangement reported as $90,000 over five years.
The Scott County Board of Education approved a bundle of routine but substantive items during its meeting, including budget amendments, grants and procurement awards.
Budget and amendments: Board members noted a reallocation from government funds of $3,192.48 related to a Burke Perkins amendment; a motion to update the amendment amount was discussed and confirmed as already on the agenda.
Grants: The board approved acceptance of the Tennessee All Core Tutoring Grant in the amount of $74,600 to expand tutoring services for targeted grade bands. Separately, the board approved acceptance of a CLSD literacy materials implementation support grant to secure services from Sterling Literacy Consulting over the next five years; one speaker stated the grant is “90,000 for the next 5 years,” and another referred to that number as $90,000 per year. The transcript records the figure but the board did not clarify in the meeting which of those two interpretations is the official annual vs. total amount; the transcript explicitly states "It's 90,000 for the next 5 years. So 90,000 per year."
Procurement: The board awarded a contract to refinish gym floors covering the 02/2627–02/2728 school years for a total of $42,600 for both years and authorized the food-service director to renew the chicken processing bid with Gold Creek Foods and request quotes for beef processing for the 02/2027 school year.
Each item was moved, seconded and approved by roll-call vote as recorded in the meeting transcript.
Financial details and next steps: staff will implement the awards and acceptances per board direction; where the transcript gives multiple statements about the literacy grant amount, the board record should be consulted for definitive award language.
