# Williamson County Board of Education Meeting - October 19, 2026

The Williamson County Board of Education meeting was held October 19, 2026. The board approved a $100,000 budget allocation for the superintendent search, transferring funds from payroll to contracted services. The search consultant, Zeal Education Group, was still finalizing its contract; staff said travel expenses would be handled through separate orders with board involvement. The board also voted 12–0 to authorize confidential executive sessions for interviewing superintendent applicants, under recently amended Tennessee law and board policy. The transcript does not include a recorded vote result for the proposed $87 million intent to fund Split Log Middle School, so its approval cannot be confirmed from the available text.

The proposed Split Log project would address projected middle-school capacity needs in the Nolensville area; the district owns the site and reported about $95 million in education impact-fee funds that can be used for new construction. Other budget items included approval of a $194,127 federal transition grant and an E-rate rebate of approximately $1.58 million. The board also approved the Stevens Valley subdivision’s rezoning for the 2027–28 school year (12–0), and approved education accountability and compliance reports. No additional vendor awards or purchasing decisions were identified.
