Board reviews finances, approves summer projects and $50,000 student‑supply purchase
Summary
Trustees heard a financial update showing an operating balance of $7,128,580 and $13,000,513 on deposit, approved paying bills, authorized summer maintenance projects (locker removal, painting, entrance tile repairs) and committed $50,000 for student supplies for 2025–26.
The Nashville School District board received a financial briefing on June 16 that showed the district is roughly 81% through the budget year with an operating balance after 11 months of $7,128,580 and $13,000,513 held at Diamond Bank.
After the superintendent’s recommendation to pay outstanding bills, trustees voted 4–0 to authorize payments. The board also approved a board‑to‑board transfer for a third grader, Abel Warwick, to continue attending school in Murfreesboro; the superintendent noted new state rules that will remove much of the transfer paperwork after Aug. 3 unless a receiving district denies the request.
On facilities, the board approved three recommended summer projects: removal of junior‑high lockers and tile repair (Boom Boom Floor Shine, $4,500), junior‑high interior painting (Boomer Brown, $6,615), and repair/replacement of seven primary entrances (D and S Carpet, $5,775). The superintendent also described a larger, pending project to replace worn carpet in two early‑childhood classrooms that could cost about $78,000; he said he will solicit bids and return with a recommendation.
Finally, the board approved committing $50,000 to purchase school‑supply kits for primary and elementary students in 2025–26, a program intended to ease families’ back‑to‑school costs. All motions on finances and projects were approved unanimously.
What to watch: The superintendent said the larger primary carpet remediation will require separate bids and a future vote; the district also noted minors adjustments to summer‑project vendor pricing discovered after work began.
