Sullivan County board groups and approves budget amendments, corrects Gear Up grant figure and tables bus-routing tech
Summary
The board grouped several budget amendments and approved them; members corrected a Gear Up grant amount to $130,000, discussed multiple employment and program grants, and tabled a bus-routing technology item pending broader discussion with Washington County.
The Sullivan County School Board moved to group and approve several budget amendments and clarified grant funding details during new business.
Miss Stanley moved to group four budget amendments — a general purpose school fund amendment, two revisions to CT Perkins funding, and a Title McKinney-Vento revision — and Mr. Vickers seconded the motion. The board then approved the grouped motion by recorded affirmation of the members present.
Later in the new-business discussion, Mr. Carter corrected the Gear Up grant amount: "that's a $130,000, not $140,000 that we receive out of that grant," and explained the seven-year partnership with East Tennessee State University to support career-exploration positions and materials in district middle schools. Board members also discussed an Innovative Schools Model grant and employment grants designed to pay students working in district programs and to fund assistants in classrooms.
On a separate agenda item, a board member asked to table the bus-routing technology proposal and suggested involving Washington County in the conversation; the item was tabled without objection for further consideration.
Members completed the grouped motions and recorded affirmative votes; no formal roll-call with mixed tallies was reported in the transcript excerpt. The board moved on to public comment and other agenda items after these actions.
