LYNCHBURG — The Metro Moore County School Board will meet on Monday night (November 10) at 6 p.m. at the Moore County High School Library for their regular monthly meetings.
One of the items on the agenda will be a potential new Raiderettes Softball Field backstop on the Moore County High School campus. The varsity and middle school coaches are spearheading the project and it will be funded by donations and the Raiderettes Softball Boosters.
According to MCMS Coach Tyler Hatfield, the new backstop is necessary for both infrastructure and safety reasons. They’ll remove old fencing that is failing and add padding for player safety.
Once completed, the softball backstop will look very similar to baseball backstop, according to Coach Hatfield.
In other new business, the Board will review school board policies 4.100-4.408. Those policies revolve around instructional service at Moore County Schools. They cover items like class size ratios, special education, virtual education, and use of the library and Internet.
As part of unfinished business, they will vote on any recommended changes that were brought up during the October policy review. However, there were no recommended changes.
Director of School Chad Moorehead will also give a report to the board about the school system’s quarterly reports, the new textbooks, and false claims litigation on behalf of Tennessee Public Schools. He will also give an enrollment update.
