The Madison County School Board approved several routine and substantive items at its meeting, including the district five-year facilities plan required by the state Department of Education, personnel recommendations, and a purchase of a district-wide ExactPath (Edmentum) site license.
A staff presenter summarized the five-year plan that the district must submit to the Department of Education and said the plan is an estimate of planned facility improvements. Trustees moved and approved the plan.
The board approved personnel recommendations that included hiring a substitute bus driver and bus monitor, acknowledged a resignation (Miss Barwick, leaving for a position in Thomas County) and accepted a retirement notice (Christine Androwski). Trustees also approved the summer-school food-service recommendations and continuing professional-contract teachers.
On curriculum and intervention software, the superintendent recommended buying ExactPath as a district site license for tier 2 and tier 3 interventions, describing it as a state-approved platform that supports intervention work. "It's our state approved, intervention program for tier 1 and tier 2," the superintendent said, recommending the purchase. Staff indicated the cost for the ExactPath site license as $61,004.09; the board approved the addendum to purchase the license.
The superintendent also updated trustees on a pending FEMA arbitration related to hurricane funding: FEMA's response was expected the next day, the district's reply is due May 28, FEMA's reply June 9, and a potential hearing could be scheduled in late June. The superintendent said the issue involves a significant sum and that the district is working with outside counsel on next steps.
Finally, the board approved appointing Miss Hayden as the non-voting school-board representative to the Town of Greenville Planning Committee and recessed to hold scheduled expulsion hearings.
