Clarksville board approves personnel moves, fundraisers and donations; rejects preschool retrofit bids
Summary
At a special session the board unanimously approved personnel recommendations (hires, resignations, retirements), a CHS girls basketball fundraiser, several donations, a one‑time stipend for an administrator, a supplemental summer pay resolution, a YouthLink agreement with a $500 fee increase, and extended the CHS yearbook ad deadline; it also approved rejecting all quotes for the Renaissance Academy preschool retrofit.
The Clarksville Community School Corporation board unanimously approved a package of consent items during a special session after Superintendent Dr. Bennett reviewed personnel recommendations, fundraisers and donations.
Dr. Bennett presented the personnel report, which included one administrative resignation (athletic director), an appointment of a Clarksville High School counselor, two impending retirements at Clarksville High School (a math teacher and a counselor), a resignation for a CHS science teacher and other certified staffing changes, classified appointments (subcustodian, sub‑cafeteria employee, summer school bus driver), separations for paraprofessionals, and appointments for extra‑duty coaches. "If you have no questions, I ask that you approve the personnel report as presented," he said; a board member moved to approve and the motion passed unanimously.
The board approved a fundraising request from Clarksville High School girls basketball for a "donate‑a‑day" campaign running May 13–June 1 to support camp, meals, uniforms and travel. The board also approved donations Dr. Bennett listed, including $2,000 from ARC for the corporation Teacher of the Year program, $1,000 from Ward Engineering for staff incentives, a $250 donation from the Clarksville Alumni Association and $500 from Doug Fisher for after‑prom, and $14.90 from Box Tops for Education for student incentives at CES.
Dr. Bennett recommended a one‑time $1,000 stipend for administrators who complete an Ed.S., Ed.D. or Ph.D. and asked for a retroactive $1,000 stipend for Lisa Hawkins; the board moved and approved the recommendation. The board also approved a supplemental pay resolution to compensate Erica Hubbard for summer work preparing On My Way Pre‑K application materials.
On facilities, Dr. Bennett recommended rejecting all quotes for the Renaissance Academy preschool retrofit so internal discussions can continue; the board approved that recommendation.
The board approved a YouthLink memorandum of agreement for 2026–27, noting the provider's fee increased by $500, and approved an extension of the CHS yearbook ad sale deadline to May 21 to allow more families to purchase senior ads.
All items described above were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote with members responding "Aye." The board adjourned the special session and opened the planning session. Documents were signed before adjournment.
