Board approves consent items, minutes and budgets including $275,918.88 in bills; summer school budget and personnel slate cleared

The board handled routine business on April 27, approving minutes, bills, personnel and budgets.

The board approved the minutes of the April 13 and April 15 meetings (roll calls were recorded in the transcript). Business office staff presented general and other fund bills — US Bank checks, check ranges and wire activity — totaling $275,918.88. Staff explained several voided checks and bookkeeping notes that affected the presented totals.

The board moved and approved a lengthy personnel recommendation sheet that included internal transfers (for example, Alyssa Struck to reading specialist and Carrie Steinhower to middle school science) and contingent new hires (background checks and district screenings required). The personnel slate passed by motion and second.

Administrators also presented and the board approved the 2026 summer school budget, noting an added afternoon bus route increased costs and the program is projected to run roughly $37,000 in the red for the year. Board members discussed route costs and whether to pursue a busing fee or other options in future years.

The board accepted two gifts — $400 from the American Legion and $350 from Americ Logistics — for student programs and approved the 2026–27 CISA service contract; the CISA motion passed with one recorded opposition. Other routine items such as stipend adjustments and handbook edits were presented as first readings.

Votes on some items included abstentions on prior minutes and a small number of oppositions recorded for the consent votes; the transcript records the motions and outcomes but not complete roll‑call tallies for every item.
