Scott County School District 2 board approves surplus disposal, athletic pay rates and part‑time social worker

At its meeting, the Scott County School District 2 board approved several routine administrative items, including surplus property disposal, posted athletic pay rates, and the appointment of a part‑time social worker for District 2.

The board approved a motion to allow district staff to dispose of items marked "dispose" on the surplus property list so Dr. Nykham and staff could proceed. The transcript records a motion and a second and indicates the board approved the action by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded.

Other business included posting and approving athletic event pay rates for supervisors, ticket takers, clock workers and officials. The superintendent said the posted rates included $100 for varsity basketball officials and $70 for JV officials. "We just figured it was time that the public knew what those things were," he said, adding that Mister Lowry provided the rates and Miss Tanya compiled the list. The board moved and approved the posted rates by voice vote.

The board also approved adding William Snowden as a part‑time social worker for District 2 from January through May. The presiding officer noted that a social worker on staff is required by IEP requirements "by law." A motion to approve the appointment was seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll call or tally of votes.

The board discussed but did not clearly record an on‑the‑record approval for an HR services proposal from JA Benefits (item C6). The superintendent described it as a one‑year contract to support the business office and said the district could reevaluate the service after the calendar year (January–December 2026). "This is pennies compared to what it could have cost," he said, urging the board that the training would be an asset. The meeting record does not explicitly show final board approval of that specific contract item within the portions of the transcript provided.

All formal actions in the transcript appear to have been taken by voice vote; the meeting record in the transcript shows motions were made and seconded and the presiding officer asked "all in favor?" without providing a roll‑call tally.
