The Arvon Township School Board on Nov. 12 approved routine business including the agenda and minutes, accepted the financial report and took action on several operational items.
A. Olsen, school personnel, presented the financial reports and reported total assets and liabilities of $488,205.77. On a motion by N. Wahmhoff, seconded by K. Laramore, the board voted unanimously to approve the financial report and to pay the bills.
The board reviewed facilities and transportation matters. Members said they are still seeking bids for floor work; Bianco Plumbing is inspecting a heating problem in the Andreas office. The board discussed a Lamers Bus invoice that reflected a 20% increase from last year. With no existing contract in place, the board approved paying at the prior-year rate and directed staff to send a letter expressing disappointment with the increase.
The annual financial report prepared by audit firm Hungerford Nichols was distributed; the auditors reported that financial statement disclosures were "neutral, consistent, and clear," and that no significant adjustments resulted from the audit process.
On personnel matters, the board established the rate of pay for substitute paraprofessionals at $13.00 per hour. The motion to set that rate was moved by L. Griffith and seconded by K. Laramore and passed unanimously.
The board set its next regular meeting for Dec. 10, 2021, at 4:30 p.m., and adjourned at 5:25 p.m.
