The Greeneville City School Board met yesterday afternoon and had a reorganization of their board, approved purchases, as well as gave approval to participate in the Public Entity Partners Grant Program.
Cindy Luttrell was nominated and elected as the Chair of the board, Dr. Craig Shepard was elected as Vice-Chairman of the board, Josh Quillen was elected as Treasurer, and Pam Botta was elected as the Tennessee Legislative Network Representative.
The board approved the High School Landscaping Project which will consist of updating, replacing, and adding plantings and other components. Beverly Miller, Assistant Director of Schools, says landscaping at the High School was done about 20 years ago. The project could be completed by March of next year for about $47,000 and will be done by a local company, FOC Landscapes.
Also approved was furniture for the Greeneville Middle School for their Career Exploration Class and a Career Lab Class. Funds for the purchase are through the Innovative Schools Grant for $31,525.32. Furniture includes optimal desks, chairs, cabinets, and more, according to the quote provided.
Permission was also granted to participate in the PEP Property Conservation Grant Program. With this grant, funds will be applied toward the purchase of property fencing at the High School. As Greeneville City Schools continues to consider safety, the fencing and gates will make a difference for the school.
