How to check Smith County Board meeting dates, agendas and minutes
The official BOEconnect public page is the best source for Smith County Board of Education meetings. It lists meeting type, meeting date, meeting time, location, public notice, agenda, and minutes when available. Recent listings show regular meetings and special called meetings at the Board of Education Office in Carthage.
BOEconnect listings show many Smith County Board of Education regular meetings at 5:00 p.m. at the Board of Education Office, 126 Smith County Middle School Lane, Carthage, TN 37030. However, families and residents should not assume every meeting follows one repeating schedule. Special called meetings, interviews, planning meetings, and agenda changes can appear separately.
Use the meeting page before attending, speaking, sharing an agenda, or quoting board action. A meeting record may include a public notice, agenda, and minutes. If minutes are not posted yet, check again later or contact the Board office.
Open BOEconnect first
Use the official public meeting system rather than screenshots, social posts, or old agenda PDFs.
Choose the exact meeting date
Regular and special called meetings can appear separately. Open the exact meeting you need.
Review public notice, agenda and minutes
Meeting records can include different files. Check all available links before relying on a detail.
Confirm the location
Most listed meetings use the Board of Education Office in Carthage, but the current notice controls the final location.
Meeting caution: Board meeting details can change. Always open the current BOEconnect meeting notice before traveling to the office, preparing public remarks, or sharing meeting information with other families.
Where to find Smith County school calendar links and event updates
The official Smith County Schools homepage links directly to the 2025-2026 School Calendar and the 2026-2027 School Calendar. The district navigation also includes a School Board Meeting Schedule and prior calendar documents. Families should use the current district calendar link before planning around the first day of school, breaks, staff days, holidays, early dismissals, closures, and end-of-year dates.
The homepage also shows latest news and current district announcements. That matters because Smith County Schools may post closure notices, early dismissal announcements, family nights, athletic-related schedule changes, and current updates separately from the calendar PDF.
For school-level events, use the individual school page. A district calendar may not include every classroom event, sports activity, PTO event, concert, club meeting, or family night. The safest workflow is to check the district calendar for big dates and then check the child’s school page for local events.
📅 Current school year
Use the official district calendar link for the active school year before saving dates.
🗓️ Future calendar
The homepage also links future school-year calendars when posted by the district.
🏫 School events
Use individual school pages for local events, classroom updates, and campus-specific announcements.
⚠️ Recheck near the date
Closures, early dismissals, sports events, weather, and emergency changes can affect normal plans.
Smith County Board office address, phone, fax and visit planning
The official contact information lists Smith County Board of Education, 126 SCMS Lane, Carthage, TN 37030. The main phone number is 615-735-9625, and the fax number is 615-735-8271. BOEconnect also lists the meeting location as Board of Education Office, 126 Smith County Middle School Lane, Carthage, TN 37030.
For office visits, do not assume walk-in hours from a search result. Call the office first if you need a records question, board meeting question, employment direction, department contact, special education direction, transportation routing, or document drop-off. Some questions are faster through a department page or school office rather than the central board office.

Board policies, procedures, strategic plan and district governance resources
The Smith County Schools navigation includes Board Policies and Administrative Procedures, Board Minutes and Agendas, school board meeting schedules, the BOE five-year strategic plan, and History of Smith County Schools. These links are important because board decisions are not only found in meeting videos or social posts. Official board documents, minutes, policies, and procedures are the more reliable source.
Families, staff, and residents commonly use these pages when they need board policy language, meeting history, district goals, administrative procedures, and official governance records. If you need the status of a specific agenda item, open BOEconnect and the relevant meeting agenda or minutes.
📄 Policies
Use official board policy and administrative procedure links when you need district rules.
🗂️ Minutes and agendas
Use BOEconnect and district links for public notices, agendas, and minutes.
🎯 Strategic plan
Use the BOE five-year strategic plan link for district priorities and long-range planning.
🏫 School history
Use the district history link for background context on Smith County Schools.
How to use BOEconnect public notices, agendas and minutes correctly
BOEconnect is useful because each meeting can show its own public notice, agenda, and minutes links. A meeting agenda may show consent items, superintendent actions, new business, policy amendments, school requests, director of schools search items, or other board business. Minutes may be posted after the board approves them.
If you are writing about board action, do not use a draft agenda alone as the final record. Check whether minutes are available. If the meeting was special called, check that special meeting separately. If the issue is recent and minutes are not posted yet, use careful language and link to the official meeting page.
Board record warning: Agenda items show what was scheduled for board discussion or action. Minutes are the official record after approval. Use the correct document for the claim you are making.
Smith County transportation department, bus driver applications and route questions
The official Transportation Department page lists Mrs. Diane Gochcoff as Supervisor of Transportation and provides the email gochcoffd@smithcoedu.net. The phone number listed for the Transportation Department is 615-735-2893. The page also says bus driver applicants should contact the Transportation Department Supervisor at that number.
For transportation questions, use the official Transportation Department page rather than posting route questions publicly. Student transportation can involve safety, address, route, driver, and schedule details. If you need a bus-related answer, contact the department or the student’s school through official channels.

Parent resources, Skyward, Clever, district apps and school pages
The Smith County Schools website includes parent navigation and links for school pages, Skyward, Clever, district apps, and current announcements. The homepage also encourages families to stay updated through the ParentSquare app. These parent tools are important because board meeting pages are not the correct place for daily student needs like grades, assignments, attendance, school messages, classroom updates, or app login questions.
Families should use the district Parents page, the child’s school page, and the official app links before contacting the Board office. If the issue is a classroom question, teacher communication, attendance note, school-level event, or student-specific concern, the school office is usually the faster route.
