Memphis, TN, September 28, 2026 —
Germantown, TN – The Germantown Board of Mayor and Aldermen has unanimously voted to reject a resident appeal challenging the expansion plans for Bodine School. The decision, made at a recent meeting, upholds a previous ruling by the Planning Commission, which had granted the school a conditional-use permit for its proposed development.
The expansion plan for Bodine School involves the addition of approximately 23,000 square feet. The Planning Commission’s initial decision to approve the conditional-use permit was the subject of an appeal filed by local residents. However, the Board of Mayor and Aldermen ultimately sided with the Planning Commission’s determination.
Details regarding the specific concerns raised by the residents in their appeal were not detailed in the Board’s proceedings that led to this decision. Similarly, the exact timeline for the proposed 23,000-square-foot expansion or any subsequent construction phases was not publicly specified following the vote.
The conditional-use permit allows Bodine School to proceed with its expansion, subject to the conditions set forth by the Planning Commission. The unanimous rejection of the resident appeal by the Board signifies the final administrative step in upholding the permit for the school’s development.
