Madison County Schools board approves capital-plan amendment, renews principals and staff contracts

The Madison County Schools board unanimously approved a slate of routine administrative measures at its April 10 meeting, including a capital-plan amendment, multiple contract renewals and personnel items, and a resolution recognizing Hazel Green High School’s 2026 girls basketball state championship.

Board Chair (S1) presided over the meeting and opened the session after the agenda was amended to add the Hazel Green resolution and several capital updates. A motion to approve the amended agenda passed by voice vote.

Among the items approved by the board, the members voted to amend the district’s capital plan to incorporate five items discussed at the meeting (two maintenance items and three capital items). The board also approved social studies and arts education textbook committee selections, February financial statements and payment of bills, bid renewals, contracts for services (with contracted services item 126 pulled from consideration), and supplemental contracts.

The board approved personnel items listed in the meeting addendum and renewed principal contracts. Assistant principal contracts were also approved. The assistant superintendent contract was approved and later recorded on the meeting record as having passed 4–0 after members confirmed the tally.

S2, a staff member who presented many of the administrative items, also congratulated principals renewed for three-year terms and noted that Miss Bass’s three-year contract is for the assistant superintendent for academics, underscoring the district’s leadership-team continuity.

Before adjourning into executive session, S1 said the board would vote on an identified transfer and complete the required certification for a legal executive session; no substantive votes were recorded during the closed portion in the transcript.

What was pulled: contracted services item number 126 was explicitly removed from consideration and will be considered at a later time, per S2’s request.

The board handled the approved items primarily by motion, second and voice vote; the assistant superintendent contract was specifically recorded as passing 4–0. The meeting then recessed into an executive session to discuss a personnel/transfer matter.
