Background Information:

State law requires the Boards of Education to secure an independent internal audit of funds and financial management practices. 

Summary of Major Elements:
The Greene Technology Center audit for the year ended June 30, 2022, was performed by Rodefer Moss & Co., PLLC. The audit reports being presented contain the financial statements and all other reportable conditions for the Greene Technology Center Board of Education and School Activity Fund. The District level reports offer unmodified opinions, which are the most favorable opinion that can be received, and there were no findings at the activity fund or District level.  A representative from Rodefer Moss will be unable to attend the Board meeting to answer any questions. Due to the complex nature of financial statement presentations, it is recommended that questions be sent to the Chief Financial Officer in advance of the BOE meeting. The Chief Financial Officer recommends acceptance of the 2022 Audited Financial Statements.

Background Information:
When an agreement could not be reached on a Memorandum of Understanding between Greeneville City Schools and Greene County Schools on the joint operation of the Greene Technology Center, Greene County Schools, with support from the Greene County Commission, voted to explore relocating vocational education classes for Greene County high school students from Greene Technology Center to one or more of the Greene County high schools. Subsequently, a fifteen million dollar bond was approved by the Greene County Commission to build CTE additions at Chucky Doak and West Greene High Schools. Discussions then began to dissolve the joint operation of Greene Technology Center.  

Summary of Major Elements:
Officials from Greeneville City Schools, Greene County Schools, the Town of Greeneville, and Greene County met and have identified areas of the jointly owned GTC property which they have interest in retaining. It was decided by the group that a survey was needed to identify the parcels individually before a potential value could be assigned through an appraisal. This item is seeking approval from the Greeneville City Schools Board of Education and the Greene County Schools Board of Education to allow the respective Directors of Schools to contract for a survey of the GTC Property.
 
Director of Schools' Recommendation:

Approval

Impact on Resources:

Not to exceed fifteen thousand dollars.

Background Information:
When an agreement could not be reached on a Memorandum of Understanding between Greeneville City Schools and Greene County Schools on the joint operation of the Greene Technology Center, Greene County Schools, with support from the Greene County Commission, voted to explore relocating vocational education classes for Greene County high school students from Greene Technology Center back to one or more of the Greene County high schools. Subsequently, a fifteen million dollar bond was approved by the Greene County Commission to build CTE additions at Chucky Doak and West Greene High Schools. Discussions then began to dissolve the joint operation of Greene Technology Center.  

Summary of Major Elements:
Officials from Greeneville City Schools, Greene County Schools, the Town of Greeneville, and Greene County met on April 6, 2023. It was recommended by the group that the Executive Committees from each Board review the inventory and devise two sperate lists; 1. An agreed upon list of equipment and its division among each school system. 2. A list of items that would need to be appraised. The two resulting lists would be brought back for approval at a future GTC Joint Board meeting. This item is seeking approval from the Greeneville City Schools Board of Education and the Greene County Schools Board of Education to allow the respective Executive Committees to work together to create the two identified lists.
