The CMCSS School Board study session on November 3, 2026, included first readings on declaring a nurse’s-office ice machine surplus because it was unrepairable and out of warranty, and on December 2026 budget amendments. The amendments adjusted multiple fund accounts to reflect actual grant awards, costs, staffing realignments, and departmental transfers; examples included a $76,500 reduction to the public school security grant budget, a $667,492 property and liability insurance adjustment, and $12,252 in child-nutrition rebate revenue. Child nutrition also included a $19,417 increase in contracted services, primarily for a warehouse freezer repair. These items were presented for first reading; no approval vote was reported.

The board also received an operations update on energy management, school capacity, and facilities work. The presentation cited a reported $23 million in cost avoidance from energy-efficiency practices and described TVA energy-program grants of up to $200,000 for participating schools. Ongoing or completed facility work included HVAC and wastewater-treatment projects, program-space renovations, and continued property acquisition for a planned elementary school No. 27. The transcript reported no procurement award or vote on these projects; it noted county-commission funding support and that the property-acquisition work is ongoing.
