The Roane County Board of Education will hold its regular meeting this Thursday, April 23, at 7:00 PM at the central office located at the intersection of Bluff Road and Highway 70 in Kingston. Following the initial approval of minutes and financial reports, the session will feature public comments, recognitions, and a series of updates from the Director of Schools, the business manager, and various committees.

A primary highlight of the agenda involves old business, where the board is slated to consider a contract extension for Director of Schools Russell Jenkins. Additionally, the board will address several new business items, including the designation of May 5 as an in-service day for the primary election, tenure recommendations, the disposal of surplus equipment, and a proposed budget amendment before the meeting adjourns.
