Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Bartlett. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8)
Board Moves to Hire Next Superintendent in Secret
📅 November 19, 2026
A proposed revision to Policy 1031 would make the superintendent hiring process confidential. The change would shield candidate resumes from public inspection and move interviews into closed-door ‘executive sessions,’ preventing parents and taxpayers from vetting the person who will lead the district.
Recommended Action Plan

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (verify contact info on the district website via the Official Agenda link): ‘Vote NO on the revisions to Policy 1031 under Item X.A.2. The public has a right to know who is being considered to lead our schools. Do not hide the hiring process behind closed doors.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Oversight
NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Who Will Choose Your Child’s Textbooks?
📅 November 19, 2026
The board is acting on the ‘Textbook Selection Committee’ but has provided no details on who is on it, how they are selected, or what their process is. This committee has significant power over what curriculum and materials enter the classroom, and parents must have a seat at the table.
Recommended Action Plan

ASK FIRST: Contact the Board (verify contact info on the district website via the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item X.A.1, what is the process for selecting members to the Textbook Selection Committee? How can parents apply to serve? We demand this process be transparent and include meaningful parental representation before any committee is approved.’

💰 Impact: Parental Exclusion
NEEDS REVIEW (LEVEL 6)
Undisclosed Contract for Superintendent Search
📅 November 19, 2026
The board is voting to approve a contract with the Tennessee School Boards Association (TSBA) to manage the superintendent search, but the contract itself has not been made public. This contract could spend significant taxpayer money and lock the district into the secretive hiring process proposed in Policy 1031.
Recommended Action Plan

INVESTIGATE: Open the file ‘TSBA Superintendent Search Service’ attached to Item X.A.3 in the Official Agenda (linked above). Demand the Board publish the full contract and its cost, and delay the vote until the public has had time to review it.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Cost
