Board of Education
On May 22, 2017 at 1 p.m., I attended a board meeting at Fort Campbell Community
Schools at Fort Campbell Kentucky. The meeting took place in FCS central office. As I walked
into the building I was greeted by Sandra Murphy, a representative voted into the board by the
Fort Campbell family members. Sandra then handed me a paper with the business meeting
agenda of what is going to be discussed. There were three sections of tables with chairs and on
the right side of the room; there were enough chairs for all the principals in the district. At the
front of the room is where the board members sat. I got to the meeting 15 minutes early, so I got
to meet everyone and ask a few questions.
The meeting started right at one p.m., there were nine people on the board seated at the
front. Superintendent Gary Gerstner, President of the school board Tracey Boyle, command
representative CSM Foster and then the representatives for the community and families. After
call to order, we all stood and said the pledge of allegiance. Tracey Boyle did half of the talking,
and then the superintendent Gary did the other half. Tracey started with old business, which they
discussed the school board elections that will be help on August 1st 2017 during the open house.
At this point they brought up new business which included facility updates, the high school and
middle school is being updated this summer. They talked about cafeterias monthly report, which was a long topic. Every one of the board members got involved in this discussion, there is debt
right now of $20,352 from people not paying for their food. They are doing a DD139 check for
the ones that are in debt. Sgt. Major Foster stated that he sent out letters to all the soldiers in
regards to the debt. He said. “If they come to him needing help, he could possibly get them a
grant.” Afterwards they would have to take a solider and spouse budget class. The last new
business they talked about was financial statement, enrollment, and principal reports.
Tracey the president, asked if there was any member of the board with a new motion? No
one responded to her question so she moved on to asked the floor the same thing, again no one
responded. The principals all stood and explained what was going on in their schools. We had Dr.
Martin, Dr. Jones, Mrs. Butts, and some assistants. Ten teachers are currently retiring from the
Fort Campbell district. Which consist of 7 schools, four elementary schools, two middle schools,
and one high school.
I think that going to this board meeting was a very good experience for me to have. I
found the board meeting to be beneficial for everyone. It explained to the principals what was
going on around them in the other schools, and told parents what was happening in the
community. This was the first board meeting I have ever attended and I found it interesting. I
really had no idea what they were going to talk about when I sat in. I feel like attending the board
meeting was a step in the right direction for my teaching/ principal carrier.Board of Education
