SCOTT COUNTY — The Scott County Board of Education on Oct. 16 adopted its meeting agenda and approved a series of routine and consent items that included budget adjustments, a vendor maintenance agreement, a grant award and a contract to pursue TennCare reimbursements for students with chronic health conditions.

The board approved budget amendments “to balance the budget for the fiscal year 02/2526,” according to the meeting record. Board members also voted to enter a $3,500 annual online policy and maintenance agreement with TSB and to approve overnight and out-of-state student trips that required board permission.

Board members voted to donate $10,000 to the district's operational share program for school contributions and approved a contract with Stellar to file claims with TennCare for reimbursement on behalf of the district for students with daily chronic health conditions. The board also accepted a public safety grant totaling $47,269.27.

The board approved allowing Scott High School to use a digital-ticketing service called Huddle for sports events; the technology is described in the meeting as an additional service offered with no direct cost to the district, though officials discussed a small per-ticket processing amount (about 75 cents to $1) that may apply this year.

The technology department also recommended the district retain outside assistance for the Federal Communications Commission's E-rate program; the board approved an agreement with the recommended federal funding advisers to assist with E-rate forms, applications and related work.

A presenter identified in the record as a staff member reported that a school playground was finished and that students and teachers had used it for the first time that day. The meeting record also notes that trailers on campus had begun to be dismantled and readied for removal.
