Dickson Co Board of Edu. Regular Session

The Dickson County Board of Education’s regular session on July 23, 2026, included several procurement and funding actions. The board approved a districtwide culture initiative, identified as “Leader in Me,” following review of three submitted bids; the transcript does not name the selected vendor or state the contract amount. It accepted the United Way Raise Your Hand tutoring grant, approved a one-year extension of the existing lawn-care contract, and authorized applying for a COPS grant to upgrade cameras at all schools. If awarded, the grant would require a match from current safety funds and cover initial camera and installation costs; recurring fees would follow, but no amounts were provided. The board also approved surplus items for sale or disposal, including transportation-related property and vehicles.

The director reported that the CTE building project is now expected to be completed in October, delayed in part because asphalt must be relaid. Financial updates noted that revenues and expenditures were higher than the prior year at the reporting point, while utilities and diesel and gasoline costs were up. No dollar amounts were given for the procurement actions. The board also approved a tutoring-related field trip and adopted or advanced several policies, but no additional purchasing decisions were identified.
