Summary
The Trussville City Schools board approved the consent agenda (including surplusing buses and a janitorial contract), accepted the monthly financial report, and placed multiple school calendars, fee sheets and the high-school curriculum guide on the table for first reading.
The Trussville City Schools Board of Education approved its consent agenda and several first readings at its February meeting, taking routine operational steps that district staff said will affect transportation, facilities and the academic calendar.
Board members approved the consent agenda by voice vote; Superintendent Doctor Martin highlighted several consent items: surplusing several buses to be sold to generate a modest revenue stream, award of bid 205-2 for bus-shop cleaning and floor waxing to Pro Team Janitorial, roof repair bids for the Cahaba gym and portions of Hewitt Trussville Middle School that came in at budget, and multiple facility-use agreements and field trips (SEG 680–707).
Julian presented the monthly financial report for January and told the board, "Total expenditures for the month are at 34% of the budget compared to 38% of the budget this time last year," and that revenues have come in earlier than last year; he said all transactions appeared routine and within the board’s fiscal-management policy and that the monthly report will be posted online after board approval (SEG 631–646, SEG 661–664).
On calendar items the board placed a revision to the 2026–27 calendar on the table for a first reading; the main change shifts a Friday/Monday sequence around Columbus Day to Monday/Tuesday to reduce the number of impacted four-day weeks, and the board asked committee members to review the proposal before the next meeting (SEG 759–803). The 2027–28 draft calendar was likewise placed on the table for a first reading (SEG 959–978). Board members also placed fee sheets for three schools and the Hewitt Trussville High School curriculum guide on the table for first reading (SEG 979–1039).
All motions were approved by voice vote with no objections recorded in the meeting minutes. No final adoptions of the calendars or curriculum occurred; these were first readings and will return to the board for final action at a future meeting.
