# School Board Meeting - 9-3-2026

Jefferson County Schools, Tennessee, held a school board meeting on September 3, 2026. The board reviewed multiple budget amendments, including general and federal grant adjustments and capital-project reserves. A $65,000 carryover for the final year of a state CTE-in-middle-schools grant was identified. Federal amendments aligned budgets with actual grant awards, including removing a competitive grant the district did not receive. The capital projects amendment included reserve adjustments and a baseball-field upgrade project that had recently been bid; no vendor or contract award was identified. The capital projects amendment (Fund 177) was approved unanimously. The transcript records motions and discussion on other amendments, including Fund 141 and Fund 142, but does not clearly capture their final votes. A newly added Fund 141 amendment was still being considered when the transcript ended. Staff explained that amendments proceed to the county budget committee for consideration, scheduled for September 14. The financial report cited an unassigned fund balance of about $10 million; the board also approved transportation and technology surplus resolutions, with no equipment values or buyers stated.

The board approved the director of schools evaluation format and several policy actions, including changes relating to state legislation, political affiliation, and mandatory parent/guardian notification at each level of student misbehavior. It also discussed upcoming tours of capital improvements, including an agricultural building and HVAC work at Jefferson Elementary, with county commissioners. Board officers were elected, and the November 5 business meeting was moved to November 2. No specific construction contract awards or vendor selections were reported.
