Board schedules approvals for personnel appointments, fundraisers and donations
Summary
The board reviewed multiple personnel items, four fundraising requests and several donations; staff said formal approvals, a correction to a coach's approval date and a donation transfer to athletics will be brought back at the next meeting.
A board member identified in the transcript as "Dr. Already" summarized personnel items to return to the board for approval, including a long-term math substitute at Clarksville High School, a resignation for a special-education teacher, an appointment for a maintenance technician, para-professional appointments, a custodian leave of absence and extra-duty or volunteer coaching appointments.
Dr. Bennett uploaded four fundraising requests to the board portal for formal approval next week: Clarksville Elementary Student Council’s spring dance (date change to April 17), CHS baseball cookie-dough sales April 15–May 6 ($25 per box), CHS softball popcorn and coffee sales April 15–29 to fund batting-cage equipment, and CHS football’s annual golf scramble May 17 with $100 sponsor opportunities.
Donations reported included a Sherwin-Williams paint donation valued at $1,278 for the football pole barn, a $400 athletic donation from Southern India United Soccer, several classroom and STEM-material donations (values listed as unknown in the transcript), and $5,208 from Kroger Community Rewards credited to the district from 155 supporters. Dr. Bennett also reported a $1,829.32 donation to Clarksville Cares from American Online Giving tied to volunteer coach Nate Gibson (via Duke Energy) and said the board must approve transferring the funds to the CHS football ECA account.
Staff also said a prior approval for Jason Hawkins as a summer-weights coach contained an incorrect year on the paperwork; the district needs a board correction so payroll aligns with approved funding and will return that correction next week. "In order to pay him, we need to bring this to the board to be corrected," the staff member said.
All of these items — personnel approvals, fundraisers, donations and the paperwork correction — were presented for informational review and will be included on the agenda for formal action at the board’s next meeting.
