Kirkland’s Pest Control and McMinnville Fire Control will continue to service Cannon County Schools after gaining approval through the bid process in the School’s Pest Control Bids and Fire Extinguisher bids. Both companies have served Cannon County Schools for several years and both companies submitted the lowest bids in their category. Two other companies submitted bids for the pest control contract while 3 other companies did the same for the Fire Extinguisher bids. Both bids were unanimously approved during Thursday night’s monthly meeting of the Cannon County Board Of Education. The Board also approved using $1500 out of an $1800 assistant football coach stipend to pay Cannon County Cross Country Coach Marc Larson. The money was not used this season on a 2nd assistant football coach. They will revisit the matter before next fiscal year so that the budget can be made with a stipend for the Cross Country Coach without having to interfere with any other stipends. The board also backed the National School Board Resolution that will help show that school systems nationwide do not want to see their schools federal funding cut. It has been proposed that federal funding would be cut 8.2 percent which would cut $48,000 of Federal Money awarded to Cannon County for their Title programs as well as $38,000 which is awarded to the special education programs here in Cannon County. The next Board Meeting Workshop will be at the Central Office December 11th with the next School Board meeting Thursday night at 6:00 at the Woodbury Grammar School
