School Board Business Session 10-1-2026

Jefferson County Schools, Tennessee, held a School Board Business Session on October 1, 2026. The board considered authorization to seek bids to provide and install eight outdoor digital message boards at designated schools; the motion was seconded, but the transcript does not capture its final disposition. The policy committee also presented numerous policy revisions, including language confirming that the executive committee may advertise for bids and let contracts authorized by the board. The board approved two Fund 141 general education budget amendments unanimously; no dollar amounts or vendors are provided in the transcript.

Other business included unanimous approval of the consent agenda and several policy changes, approval of the 2027 meeting schedule and a student-achievement state plan, and a vote to replace “moment of silence” with “invocation” in the board’s meeting rules. On library materials, the board approved a motion directing the administration to review a list of 32 books and report its findings at the October 26 work session; the transcript does not record a final decision to remove the books. No contract award or vendor selection is identified.
