The South Pike County School Board discussed the possibility of constructing a band stand next to the Murfreesboro High School football field, at Tuesday’s monthly meeting. The board has authorized the band to collect donations and to seek additional bids for the project. So far, only one bid has been received…totaling $60,000. The project will still need final approval from the board and state.
In other business, the board approved a twenty five cent increase in breakfast and lunch prices and also authorized updates to the licensed salary schedule. Following an executive session, the board accepted the resignations of special education para professional Lillian Neal and high school secretary Karen Featherston. An additional $250 was added to Taryn Lowery’s contract, she is the junior class sponsor. The board approved the hires of Charlotte Tipton as English/Language Arts on the Murfreesboro Elementary campus and Emily Venable as English/Language ARts on the Delight campus.
