BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING AGENDA

The Executive Committee of the Board of Education is responsible for developing an agenda for each meeting. The Executive Committee is made up of the Superintendent and Board Chair. Any Board member may place items on an agenda for discussion. Staff members or citizens of the district may only suggest items for an agenda.

The Board of Education adopts an annual calendar which includes the deadline dates for submission of agenda items. The annual calendar can be found on the Board of Education page on the Knox County Schools website. The deadline normally occurs approximately two weeks prior to a meeting. 

KCS staff members should submit documentation to the appropriate Principal, Supervisor, Director, Chief, and/or Assistant Superintendent for approval using the Knox County Schools electronic routing system at https://apps.knoxschools.org/routing/. If approved, the item will be forwarded to the Board of Education Executive Assistant for processing.
