Board approves routine contracts, fee schedule, textbook recommendations and several operational items
Summary
The Wilson County Schools board unanimously approved the consent agenda, school contracts, a 2026–27 fee schedule (no fee increases), textbook committee recommendations, school-bus use for fairs, a cleaning-contract extension and an FR27 Title I MOU with private schools.
At its meeting the Wilson County Schools board approved multiple routine operational items during a largely unanimous series of votes.
The board approved the consent agenda and school contracts, accepted the student‑board member and county‑attorney reports, and approved the fee schedule for 2026–27 (with one new class added: environmental science) without fee increases. The textbook committee’s recommendations for CTE and lifetime wellness were approved after trustees confirmed that controversial sections had been removed from a human‑development text under consideration.
Operational approvals included authorization for Wilson County school buses and drivers to be used for the 2026 Wilson County Fair and the Tennessee State Fair (with reimbursement from those fairs); a one‑year extension of the ABM cleaning contract (fourth such extension, with a 1% increase and added cost for Central Pike Elementary); and approval of a Title I (FR27) MOU clarifying cost sharing with participating private schools. All of these items were approved by unanimous voice votes.
Board members asked clarifying procedural questions on some items (for example, where FEMA funds will be held and how federal and voucher funding interact with private‑school MOU arrangements). The board scheduled follow‑ups where staff will provide related documentation to ensure clarity and compliance.
