Action(s):
No Action(s) have been added to this Agenda Item.
Discussion:
When schools give students access to devices and online accounts, an incredible world of learning opportunities opens up - as well as potential dangers. Digital safety is critically important to Bradley County School, Mr. Scott Webb told the Board. That is why we are using Bark for School + to help protect our students both online and in real life. With this product, the company offers parents access to their Bark Jr platform which allows parents the ability to filter, monitor, and manage student personal devices. Bradley County Schools, with your permission, would like to roll this offer out to our parents, Mr. Webb explained to the Board.

12. Tennis Courts Update - Kyle Page
Discussion:
We found an Issue at BCHS court. We had the GEO work done but outside the potholes found rough dirt. A plan was developed and taken to Mr. Weathers and Dr. Cash. The field was undercut, a layer of geo grid was put down, 8 inch stones, then filled in. There were also channels cut for drainage that you won't see but will help with the water. WVHS soil is good and all is well.
The cost was $61,386.00 that we did an executive approval on. It is below the amount the Board agreed on, Dr. Cash told the Board. |
