Amy Hyman, principal at Eastwood, introduced current and former staff members who read letters and memories submitted by former students and teachers. Participants described school traditions such as the Eastwood song, field trips, and annual \"Eastwood on the Hill\" music programs. Several former teachers recalled long tenures and close-knit staff culture; one writer noted they had taught at Eastwood for 28 years.

Time capsule contents: District staff read an inventory attributed to a local archivist that lists items sealed in the 1922 cornerstone, including a 1921 copy of the Eastwood Enterprise, a history of the Parent Teacher Association, photos of old school buildings and the school board, a weekly local newspaper from August 1921, financial statements from the school district, plans and a notice of a special board election, a Masonic apron and a lodge roster. The presentation credited Travis Reed with compiling the inventory.

Why it matters: The presentation documented community memory and local school history as the district prepares to consolidate buildings. Staff encouraged residents to submit memories from Eastwood and other closing buildings for archiving and display. Several speakers asked for guidance on how to safely open the time capsule; staff said the cornerstone and capsule will be handled according to preservation best practices.

Board response: Board members thanked Eastwood staff and students for the presentation; the superintendent and board president both praised staff for the collection of memories and the farewell program.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Marshall Public Schools board meeting open session 3-11-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Eastwood Elementary staff and alumni presented memories, read submitted letters and listed contents of a 1922 time capsule discovered in the school's cornerstone.

Food service: The board approved a five‑year contract with Southwest Food Service Excellence (SFE). During the selection process, district staff said four competitive bids were received and that a committee — which included students, wellness‑committee members and district staff — reviewed presentations and provider references. District staff noted financial and qualitative benefits in the SFE proposal; representatives Fred Ellis and Anne Wansanger were present for questions.

Printing services: The board approved a five‑year lease for Toshiba copiers and related services. The district presented survey results showing roughly 60% of staff preferred more convenience copiers distributed throughout buildings rather than a single centralized print shop. Administrators said the Toshiba proposal would cost about $5,892 per month on lease payments and enable more on‑demand machines across buildings. The district estimated savings of roughly $70,000–$80,000 per year and projected $350,000–$400,000 in savings over five years compared with the current arrangement.

Technology services and E‑rate: The board approved a five‑year managed‑IT contract with Converge Technology Solutions (CTS). District staff presented two CTS proposals during procurement; one referenced a monthly cost of about $11,632 plus a monthly backup fee of $1,500 in evaluation materials. At the vote the board approved a CTS contract starting at an annual cost reported as $157,588.56 with a 3% escalation per year. The district also adopted its technology outlay plan, which administrators estimated at roughly $750,000 for device rotations, servers, software and E‑rate‑eligible purchases.

Capital outlay and surplus sales: The board approved a capital outlay plan covering summer and next‑year projects, which district staff estimated at about $250,500 and which includes previously approved playground work, additional parking at the high school, and tile replacements and abatement work at other buildings. The board also authorized preparing surplus furniture, scrap rights and vehicles for auction and sealed‑bid sale processes as appropriate.

Meals and pricing: The board approved meal pricing for 2025–26 with no increase to student meal prices. Administrators linked the decision to competitive vendor pricing and projected contract savings.

Staff perks and pilot programs: The board also approved a three‑month pilot to subsidize staff gym memberships in partnership with two local gyms (presented as YMCA and \"UVU\" in the record), with a district investment of $15,000 for the trial period. Superintendent Pettit described the pilot as a recruitment and retention initiative tied to health incentives and said participating employees would need to use the facility a minimum number of times (10 uses per month) for eligibility in the reimbursement structure.

Why it matters: The decisions lock in five‑year vendor relationships that will affect daily operations (meals, printing, tech support) and set capital and technology budgets that will determine summer work and device replacement cycles. Administrators emphasized student and staff input during procurement and said E‑rate funding will cover a portion of technology purchases.

Votes at a glance: The board approved all the vendor contracts, the capital and technology outlay plans, the Toshiba printing lease and the meal-pricing recommendation during the meeting; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the public minutes for most voice votes.","The Marshall Public Schools Board approved a suite of vendor contracts and outlay plans: a five-year food service contract with Southwest Food Service Excellence, a five-year printing lease with Toshiba, a five-year managed-IT contract with Converge Technology Solutions, and capital and technology spending plans.

\"We have interest in purchasing the property at 1304 County Road,\" Parisi said, listing housing for students, expansion of the college’s rodeo program and a planned agriculture systems management degree as drivers of the request. He said Missouri Valley is planning for roughly 60 new students and needs land for agronomy labs and student housing to support those programs.

The board moved the real-estate item into closed session so staff could finalize a bid and said it would return to open session afterward. The motion to table the item and enter closed session passed on a voice vote recorded as 6 in favor, 0 opposed, with 1 recusal.

Why it matters: The college’s request links land use and local economic development with district property decisions. Parisi said Missouri Valley College has an estimated $19 million annual economic impact on the community and described the proposed purchase as part of a five‑year growth plan. He emphasized community partnerships, including teacher-preparation efforts with the district.

What the board did and did not decide: Board members did not approve or reject a sale or purchase at the meeting. The board voted only to move the contract/bid discussion into closed session to allow completion of a bid and to reconvene in open session afterward. No purchase contract was finalized in open session that night.

Context from administrators: Superintendent Pettit and other staff referenced district policy on first-right-of-refusal for certain properties and said the district has exercised such rights previously for land adjacent to Butterfield; those sales were managed via sealed bid or realtor, and protections related to subsidized-housing options were discussed as part of prior transactions. Pettit said additional real-estate motions will appear on this and future agendas and that the district intends to include right-of-first-refusal language when it sells certain properties.

Next steps: The board will reconvene in open session after the closed-session bid work and may act on any negotiated terms at that time. The public record from this meeting does not include a final sale, price, or buyer.","Dr. Parisi, president of Missouri Valley College, told the Marshall School Board the college is interested in buying 1304 County Road to house students and expand agricultural and rodeo programs. The board voted to move discussion of the real-estate bid into closed session and return to open session afterward.","actionData","errors"]
