Board approves nutrition program, college agreement and special-education contract

During the director's report the board approved several action items. The nutrition program packet (item 15a) was presented and approved by roll call after a motion and second. The director described the South College agreement as an opportunity for district students; trustees approved the South College partnership (item 15b) by roll call.

The director also presented an informational memorandum of understanding with East Tennessee Children's Hospital for telehealth services and brought forward a SPED speech-assistant agreement (item 15d) for approval. Board members supported the motion to approve the SPED agreement. One board member described the South College agreement as a "great opportunity," urging the district to take part.

These items were approved during the director's report and recorded in the roll-call votes.
