Monroe County Schools October 8th, 2026 Regular Called Board Meeting

Monroe County Schools’ Regular Called Board Meeting was held October 8, 2026. The board approved budget amendments, though the transcript does not specify the amounts or purposes. It also approved a facility remodel change request to add an athletic-support building at Tellico High School, providing storage and locker/changing facilities for multiple sports. Donations are expected to cover the building itself; the district’s costs are for security cameras and utility connections, including power, sewer, water, and internet. Those costs were described as minimal, with no definite estimate yet, and to be absorbed within existing budgets rather than requiring additional funds. The board approved the request by motion; no vendor, contract, or bid award was identified.

The board also approved the consent and regular agenda, prior meeting minutes, a textbook adoption committee item, and policies recommended by the policy committee. A student-achievement report using TISA funding and state report-card data was presented, and the board discussed scheduling a workshop before its next meeting to consider uses of fund-balance funds. No specific procurement action related to those discussions was recorded.
