# Hardeman County Board of Education September 10, 2026

The Hardeman County Board of Education’s September 10, 2026 meeting included approval of several grant budgets and budget amendments. The board approved budgets for the Innovative Schools Model, literacy, Fresh Fruit and Vegetable, School Work Transition, a federally funded program, and Tennessee tutoring. The School Work Transition discussion noted a $140,000 grant allocation and approximately $12,000 remaining to complete its budget. Amendments included salary and instructional-supply changes, as well as a shift from general-fund committed education spending to furniture and fixtures. No contract awards or vendor selections were identified. An individual facilities-use request sought to reduce a fee from $750 to $500, but the transcript does not establish the board’s decision on that request. The director reported that restroom renovations at Middleton High School and Central High School were complete.

The board also approved resolutions for submission to the Tennessee School Boards Association, including requests for more state support for K–12 network infrastructure, cybersecurity, and student internet safety, as well as funding and flexibility for special-education preschool services and educator licensing. The board approved five TSBA model policies and approved school-based committee appointments. Other policy updates were discussed, including an annual operating-budget policy and education-related legislative requirements; one set of policy items was presented for first reading. The board elected its chair and vice chair. No procurement-specific policy change or spending-related action beyond the budget approvals was clearly identified.
