Cannon County Board of Education approves construction bids, tutoring grants and pest-control contract

The Cannon County Board of Education on Jan. 8 approved a series of routine contracts, grants and policy reviews, voting unanimously on construction bids for the high school and middle school, two tutoring grants, a pest-control services contract and several procedural items.

Board members moved quickly through the consent and routine-action items. A motion by Miss Trammell, seconded by Miss Odom, approved the revised agenda (which added the pest-control bid). The board then approved the consent agenda — including minutes of Dec. 11, 2025 and three out-of-state trip requests — by unanimous vocal roll call.

Votes at a glance

What this means

Most votes were routine, approved by unanimous voice or roll call. The approvals clear the way for several near-term capital projects at district schools and allow tutoring programs to proceed; the record does not list dollar amounts for the approved grants. The board noted the financial report discussed at the workshop will be supplied later in the week.

Next steps

Project managers and central office staff will proceed with vendor onboarding and grant implementation as appropriate. The board’s next regular meeting date was announced but not recorded in these segments; a CCMS study session is scheduled for Jan. 20 at 6:00 p.m. at the Adams Community Center meeting room.
