Scott County Board approves budget amendments, $204,500 mental‑health grant and five‑year literacy support
Summary
The Scott County Board of Education approved budget amendments, authorized out‑of‑state/overnight trips, accepted a $204,500 non‑recurring infrastructure grant for K–12 school‑based mental health programming, and approved a five‑year Materials Implementation Support arrangement with Sterling Literacy Consulting (CLSD grant) on a 6–1 vote.
The Scott County Board of Education adopted the meeting agenda and passed a slate of routine items, including budget amendments and travel approvals, before voting to accept two grants and approve a five‑year literacy support arrangement.
Under item 9c the board approved acceptance of a $204,500 non‑recurring infrastructure grant from the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services to support enhancement of school‑based mental health programming for students in kindergarten through 12th grade and to help develop and sustain infrastructure for those services across Scott County Schools. "Board approval was requested to accept a $204,500 non recurring infrastructure grant," the chair said; the motion passed on roll call with aye votes recorded from multiple board members.
On item 9d the board said it had received a CLSD grant and requested approval for the district to receive direct support from Sterling Literacy Consulting over the next five years through a Materials Implementation Support Grant. The board approved that request by roll call with one No vote recorded from Miss King; the tally recorded in the transcript shows six ayes and one no.
Earlier routine business included approval of budget amendments under board policy 2.201 and adoption of the consent agenda under the board's consent policy (04/2003). The meeting concluded after a short period for member remarks and a roll‑call vote to adjourn.
Recorded roll‑call names and on‑the‑record responses appear in the meeting transcript; the board did not specify additional implementation timelines during this meeting for the approved grants beyond the five‑year support period noted for the CLSD/Materials Implementation Support arrangement.
