Coffee County School Board Meeting

The Coffee County School Board held a meeting on May 16, 2026, primarily focused on officer elections and financial disbursement approvals following the resignation of the previous chairman. The board elected Frieda Jones as chair and discussed the election of a vice chair, which was deferred to the next meeting due to a tie vote and absent members. The board also reviewed and approved disbursements made since the chairman's resignation, including essential payments necessary to maintain operations. Discussions highlighted procedural challenges related to signature authority on bank accounts and the need to update policies to prevent future confusion. A request was made to distribute the meeting video to all board members to ensure transparency and compliance with Sunshine Law requirements.
