February 25, 2020 at 5:30 PM - Jackson-Madison County School Board Special Called Meeting

Discussion:  James Johnson, Board Chairman welcomed everyone to the February 25, 2020 Special Called meeting 

Discussion:  Before the approval of the Special Called agenda, the Board discussed adding a third candidate to the list. There were several Board Members that had more questions for candidates and feel that it would only be fair to add a third candidate name to the second round of interviews.  

Discussion:  The Board decided to add the third candidate name but if there was a tie for the third name, the following would happen; there would be a runoff vote, if still a tie - James Johnson Board Chairman will ask the Board Members, "does anyone want to change their vote", if a Board Member does not want to change their vote, the Board will stay with the top two candidates.  Each Board member will send in two questions to the Board Secretary and the Board Members may use the second round of interviews as follow up to any of their questions for the candidate.  The second round of interviews will be held on March 12, 2020 at 9:00 am, 11:30 am and 2:00 pm at the Board of Education in the Board room.  TSBA will contact the three candidates and set the interview times. 

Discussion:  The JMCSS Board Members were in a consensus with having district visits for each candidate.  March 24, 2020 the Board Members will visit Rodrick Richmond in Shelby Co and Marlon King in Fayette Co.  On March 26, 2020 the Board Members will visit Ron Wooodard in Maury Co.  James Johnson asked for a roll call.  Shannon Stewart = Yes, AJ Massey = Yes, Janice Hampton = Yes, Doris Black = Yes, Kevin Alexander = Yes, Wayne Arnold = Yes, Jim Campbell = Yes and James Johnson = Yes.
