What Simpson County's Board record shows

The Board has active CTE and athletics construction work, plans for a new central office and Franklin-Simpson High School Phase 1, FY2027 budget and tax business, and current student technology rules.

Approved minutes establish outcomes through August 2026. Current policy 09.4261 restricts personal-device use during instructional time, while policy 08.2323 requires district procedures for AI and other emerging technologies.

The FY2025 audit reports no significant deficiencies or federal-program findings

The audit reports $47.42 million in districtwide revenue, about $43.8 million in expenditures and a $3.7 million increase in net position.

The Board advanced a new central office and FSHS Phase 1

July approved minutes record owner-architect agreements; the later central-office BG-1 lists a $4.873 million project.

Current policies address phones and AI separately

The phone rule applies during instructional time; the electronic-media rule requires procedures for AI safety, privacy, ethics and academic integrity.
