Safety projects in local schools moved forward at this month’s meeting of the Cannon County Board ofEducation. The board approved a bid of $38,375.00 for locks in schools, the work will begin at the high
school and will cover every classroom in the building. McMinnville Fire Extinguishers was awarded the
system’s 2018-2019 contract.
The board voted to begin the process on addressing issues with the roofs on some of the schools in the
system. The board will advertise for bids to replace the roofs on the high school.
In other business on the meeting agenda, Pam Forrest and Emily Hancock addressed the board on
applying for a $4,000.00 grant from Lowe’s to continue work on the playground at Woodbury Grammar
School.
