Board approves warrants and personnel actions; regional CISA organizing and schedule reported

At its July 20 meeting the Addison Central School District board approved several warrants and payroll warrants for the end of the fiscal year and early July, and accepted personnel appointments and resignations reported by the assistant superintendent. The board also heard an update about a regional CISA (Chittenden South/CSO) organizing effort and scheduled recurring meetings.

Treasurer/staff member Jess Venable read warrants and payroll warrants for the board’s approval. On the record, the board heard the following amounts as read: a June 29 general fund warrant for $532,927.66 and a June 29 payroll warrant for $111,639.80; a June 30 general fund warrant for $133,469.28 and a June 30 payroll warrant for $104,634.12; a July 10 general fund warrant read as $1,182,678.12 (as read in the transcript) and a July 8 payroll warrant for $196,625.97. The board moved to approve the warrants and did so by voice vote.

Assistant Superintendent Natalie Collazo reported personnel items: the district filled a full‑time nonunion athletic trainer position, Peggy will cover a classroom teacher role after a candidate withdrew because of moving, and there was a late resignation the board accepted. A motion to accept the listed appointments and resignations was made and approved by voice vote.

Wendy provided an update on the reorganizing CISA/CSO (Chittenden South), describing the meeting as an organizing session attended by staff and board members from participating districts. She said districts will meet monthly on the third Friday (about 09:30–noon), that Champlain Valley School District will host the website for now, and that the next meeting is scheduled for Sept. 18. Wendy noted discussion about the cost of standing up a CISA (including potential duplicate services and the time needed for an executive director to make progress) and said superintendents will be the voting designees for districts.
