At a Sept. 12 special-called meeting, the Colbert County Schools board held its first FY26 budget hearing and unanimously approved an athletics supplement change naming Chase Gilmer JV volleyball coach, a $47,637 Title I, Part D purchase order to distribute consortium funds to Limestone County Schools, and a CSFO contract; the board entered and exited an executive session on legal matters before adjourning.
The Colbert County Schools board convened a special-called meeting Sept. 12 and opened with roll call and the Pledge of Allegiance before Superintendent Nathan Fuller introduced the agenda and the board moved through a series of routine and action items.
During the meeting the board held the First Budget Hearing for fiscal year 2026; Mrs. Shauna James conducted the hearing as listed in the minutes. The record of the meeting does not include budget figures, proposed changes, or public questions from the hearing.
On action items, the board unanimously approved a change to the athletics supplement list that assigns Chase Gilmer at Cherokee High School to coach junior varsity volleyball and removes Hannah Fletcher from the original list. The motion to approve that personnel change was made by David Yarber and seconded by Steve Stayton.
The board also approved a purchase order authorizing the distribution of consortium Title I, Part D funds to Limestone County Schools, with Colbert County Schools acting as the lead Local Education Agency. The minutes record the amount as $47,637.00 and note the funding source as Title I, Part D; David Yarber moved the motion and Steve Stayton seconded it. The motion was recorded as unanimously approved.
In "Other Business," the board approved a CSFO contract; the minutes list the item as "Approval of CSFO contract" but do not define the CSFO title or provide contract terms in the record. The motion was made by David Yarber, seconded by Steve Stayton, and recorded as unanimously approved.
At 8:42 a.m. the board moved into an executive session to discuss legal matters on a motion by Jarrod Johnson that was seconded by David Yarber; the motion passed unanimously. The board recorded exiting executive session at 9:14 a.m. on a motion by Jarrod Johnson, seconded by David Yarber. The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 a.m. after a motion by David Yarber and a second from Steve Stayton.
The minutes do not record individual roll-call votes, deliberations during the budget hearing, or details of the CSFO contract; the record shows each motion was approved unanimously but provides no vote-by-name tallies. Anyone seeking the full budget proposal, contract terms or additional background on the Title I, Part D consortium arrangement should contact the superintendent's office for the supporting documents.
