# October 20, 2026 Regular Schedule Meeting

At the October 20, 2026 regular meeting of the Sumner County Schools Board, members approved a drainage easement for the City and approved the Social Studies Textbook Adoption Selection Committee, a step toward a future textbook selection; no textbook vendor, purchase amount, or contract was identified. The board also approved a one-month medical premium holiday for the 2026 insurance year and an item concerning student information choice and implementation, though the transcript provides no details or dollar amounts. Members noted the Gallatin track was complete and discussed the prior investment in window film for school safety, without identifying costs or vendors.

The board considered the proposed 2027–28 school calendar: an amendment making May 24 a student half-day passed, while an amendment to make January 5 a student instructional day failed. The transcript then indicates the board returned to Calendar One with the May 24 change, but does not capture a final vote on the calendar. A revision to Policy 4.303 on school activities passed first reading; staff will bring policy-placement and implementation recommendations to a future study session, including proposed administrator access to school-sponsored electronic communication platforms. The board also approved a resolution honoring Dolly Parton and establishing an annual countywide Day of Reading and Kindness.
