Summary
At its May 5 meeting the Mooresville Graded School District board voted to keep the supplemental tax rate at 15.5¢ per $100, approved the facility use fee schedule for 2026–27, authorized an overnight FCCLA field trip to Washington, D.C., and modified May 1 to an optional teacher work day; personnel actions were approved following closed session.
The Mooresville Graded School District Board of Education on Tuesday approved a series of routine but consequential items, including keeping the district supplemental tax rate unchanged and a set of operational recommendations.
The board voted to retain the supplemental tax rate at 15.5¢ per $100 valuation after a motion to keep the rate as recommended. Chair Turner Whitfield called for the voice vote; the motion carried by voice vote with no roll‑call tally provided.
The board also approved the district’s facility use fee schedule for the 2026–27 academic year and agreed to keep that fee structure unchanged. The facility‑use decision was presented under MGSD policy 5030.
Mooresville High School requested approval for an overnight, out‑of‑state field trip for three students and two chaperones to attend the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) national leadership conference in Washington, D.C. The board approved the trip; staff said the district will apply CTE funds to cover most costs while students are responsible for their meals.
The board approved a calendar change moving May 1 from a student day to an optional teacher work day in response to significant staff leave on that date. Administration said no makeup student day will be required.
Following a closed session to discuss personnel and to consult with the board attorney under North Carolina statute, the board approved the superintendent’s recommended personnel list. The meeting adjourned at about 8:30 p.m.
Vote format: Most actions were taken by voice vote; the transcript records the motions and approvals but does not provide roll‑call tallies in the meeting record.
