Hawkins County school board approves 2026–27 salary scales and third-draft annual budget
Summary
The Hawkins County Board of Education voted to approve the 2026–27 salary scales and the third draft of the 2026–27 annual school budget after motions and seconds; the consent agenda and minutes also passed and the board scheduled a separate meeting to consider a local fire-department construction bid.
The Hawkins County Board of Education approved the district's 2026–27 salary scales and the third-draft 2026–27 annual school budget during its meeting.
Chairman Christian put the budget and salary scales before the board and a motion to approve the items was made and seconded; the motion carried with no opposition recorded in the transcript. A staff member noted the budget under consideration was the “third draft.”
The approvals followed a brief report from the district's executive committee that two overnight student trips had been preapproved — attendance at the Tennessee STEM Innovation Summit and travel for Culinary Arts students after a state competition — paid with Title I and professional-development funds.
The board also approved the April 9, 2026 minutes and the meeting agenda outline earlier in the session. The consent agenda (items 1–6 and d1–4) was approved as presented.
Next steps: board materials indicate the budget and salary scales will proceed under the board's usual implementation and monitoring processes; no further detail on spending line items or changes between drafts was provided in the transcript.
