Board approves minutes, insurance, personnel hires and a one‑year extension of the superintendent’s contract
Summary
At its Jan. 20 meeting the board approved routine minutes and payments, purchased liability and errors/omissions insurance, approved two paraprofessional hires retroactive to Jan. 6, and voted to extend the superintendent’s contract by one year through the 2028‑29 school year.
The Nashville School District board handled multiple formal actions on Jan. 20, approving minutes and payments, insurance policies, personnel hires and a one‑year contract extension for the superintendent.
Early on the agenda the board moved to approve the December minutes and to pay outstanding bills after the superintendent reported the district is about 52% through the fiscal year and has roughly $13.9 million on deposit (about $7.3 million in the building fund and approximately $6.6 million in operating). The board voted to approve payment of district bills.
The board approved liability coverage recommended by the superintendent: the district’s legal liability (errors and omissions) premium will begin Feb. 1 at $8,631.90 (about 5% lower than last year), and general liability coverage will cost $541.05 (a small increase). The superintendent recommended both policies and the board approved them.
On personnel the superintendent recommended two hires: Dontrell/Dontrail Robinson as a special education paraprofessional (part‑time in special education and part‑time assisting athletics) and Maddie Rogers as a half‑day para moved to full‑time in a self‑contained classroom. The superintendent requested those hires be retroactive to Jan. 6; the board approved the recommendations.
Following an executive session on personnel, the board voted to extend Superintendent Graham’s contract by one year, carrying his contract through the 2028‑29 school year. The board announced the contract extension in open session.
The minutes reflect routine board business and several unanimous or near‑unanimous approvals; no formal appeals or recorded roll‑call votes with named tallies were included in the public portion of the transcript.
