FC School Board Monthly Meeting, September 2026

At its September 15, 2026 monthly meeting, the Franklin County Schools Board of Education in Tennessee approved several spending- and procurement-related items. The board approved multi-year copier contracts for Cowan School and the district’s CTE department; the vendor name in the transcript is garbled. It also approved declaring two Huntland School tubas and surplus CTE equipment from Franklin County High School and Huntland surplus for disposition through GovDeals. The board approved Franklin County High School’s use of BookTix for online drama ticket sales, with no system cost reported, and approved three budget amendments, including a COPS grant item. Monthly financial reports were received and filed.

The board also approved moving forward with Cowan School’s application to the TVA School Uplift program. The proposal described $10,000–$25,000 for student learning-environment improvements and a potential building-energy grant of up to $200,000, with funding reimbursed after approved repairs; the board discussed confirming legal and funding requirements before committing district funds. A parent asked the board to revise policy on elementary students’ use of digital devices and strengthen parent communication, but no policy action on that request was recorded. Maintenance work and personnel were also discussed.
