Board and staff reviewed a packet of policy updates noted as \"quarter 2\" changes, which staff said were required by new legislation. In particular, trustees discussed health and wellness instruction changes that convert a previous opt‑out approach to an opt‑in requirement under state law. A trustee asked how the district will notify parents; staff said the district will use ParentSquare and other usual communications.

Trustees also discussed policy language for Section 504 (accommodations) and how voucher programs could interact with identification and services. Staff noted 504 procedures remain separate from the policies being reviewed and that detailed procedural steps for 504 identification and testing are handled in other district processes.

Policy 912, covering flags and banners, prompted extended discussion. Several trustees said the state guidance and recent Attorney General opinion are somewhat vague and that a single consistent district procedure is needed so principals do not make disparate decisions across schools. Trustees directed staff to draft a procedures document after researching practices used by peer districts; policy 912 will appear on the August agenda as a non‑consent item with recommended procedures before the second reading.

The board approved first readings of the listed policies by voice vote and also approved the second reading of policy 402 (background checks and substitute procedures) with an edit to require criminal history checks prior to classroom assignment for substitutes rather than allowing a five‑day grace period.

Trustees asked staff to ensure substitutes and volunteers undergo required checks before meeting students and to return revised language that clarifies the timing and responsibility for those background checks.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Kuna School District Board of Trustees Regular Meeting - July 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved first readings of a slate of updated policies reflecting new state legislation, discussed guidance on health and wellness opt‑in procedures and 504 identification, and directed staff to return with a procedures document for the district's flag/banner policy.","taxTitle","KUNA JOINT DISTRICT, School Districts, Idaho","taxId",57648,"location","Idaho","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6176798,"Board approves amended MOU with donor and funds purchase of new scoreboard table for Kuna High",199,3441000,3640000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5343186-58a8722315564d201d519c2d7a4688a1&start=3441&end=3640","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5343186-58a8722315564d201d519c2d7a4688a1/thumbnail_3441000.jpg","/articles/6176798/Idaho/Board-approves-amended-MOU-with-donor-and-funds-purchase-of-new-scoreboard-table-for-Kuna-High","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6176798-28b29e1f4b7192c7a233ba16a5d0a1ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172130&Signature=Ct4J6Whb9CS~n0SWsPchaT2cVjcYIDADaLF41HCvLNjQt5P1wro~SIBg5JDSKn6-lF~te9RGpZP-b7D2jfuqU9Z4kidb62VSGFzr9BLD~3wgqMY9OXVebIT03z1T7i2fkDU4ttjCMn2AiqfUq~TzN01Mi0~7kgtVnBPyxcLAfVQF~PBkOgb2UP85ymRy1xACLaQ5ZZkhIUEXZaY2pHNWZaRQRGI9NrQtnwCHcId-TOPsTL09MXet9AgVVoaoV3ccdd~F1A0pUMfcM4RDaKVCCa~QDIg7PfpYj~Zr73o6QC4ccU0kDiTv6egiSyNCwNsLGq-NuD6agH6pFPtcYSZ0Kw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kuna Joint District Board of Trustees approved an amended memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a donor organization referred to in the meeting as \"Dialed,\" and separately approved purchasing a new score table for Kuna High School’s gym using funds from that agreement.

A trustee said the amended MOU will provide $2.3 million to the district to be paid over 10 years; during discussion the board heard a proposed payment schedule that begins with a $100,000 first payment, a $400,000 second payment, and then annual payments (reported in the meeting as $200,000 per year thereafter). The schedule and total were described by trustees during discussion; the board approved the amended MOU by voice vote.

Staff told the board that the first Dialed payment was intended for athletics and that Kuna High requested a new permanent score table because the current table must be wheeled in and out and its mobility hardware is failing. The board approved the NEVCO quote for a score table priced at $24,637.75; staff said the vendor had not yet been ordered and purchase would be made once funds were available under the MOU.

Hillary (board member) explicitly summarized the MOU terms during discussion: \"I just think it's now it's for 2,300,000.0 to be paid Over 10 years,\" and described the payment sequence discussed at the meeting. Board members expressed appreciation that the amended agreement includes fewer restrictions on the use of funds than a prior agreement.

Actions taken: the board approved the amended MOU and separately approved the NEVCO score‑table quote. Staff said they would proceed with ordering once the first MOU payment is received and the vendor timeline permits delivery.","Trustees approved an amended MOU with a donor (referred to in the meeting as “Dialed”) and authorized the purchase of a NEVCO score table for Kuna High using the donor funds; the MOU sets a multiyear payment schedule discussed in the meeting.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6176802,"Kuna district approves change orders for multiple school parking lots after contractor flags severe damage",720,2318000,3038000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5343186-58a8722315564d201d519c2d7a4688a1&start=2318&end=3038","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5343186-58a8722315564d201d519c2d7a4688a1/thumbnail_2318000.jpg","/articles/6176802/Idaho/Kuna-district-approves-change-orders-for-multiple-school-parking-lots-after-contractor-flags-severe-damage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6176802-c1a6365bd1593df154954268b20bd438/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172130&Signature=eksMUoRx~bJdxwizNqNmCjYzbgJEReYBnKkMKj0KJN-R5WhWMOTkUbDEpW6ubt7R7H9YH9FNYFJn9k32DPHiKixmHILMIpVnuHU6AIQp5J1vD9mvjQDAP9GqMxAwREyH2KwB9GKRMQ~2pQxbyynVxK8swaiDzoJt6lR9ow~3-usrmdwQJBmkXu38gKB0bdembxR8P1eH90m0AUaPUp60uLE5~9cFrhJKRx9Y43NfzL~-kMJPMDZpZMSQU-11BaSlvcMA1AIpAmyk6lYvYid3khbdJJUg~ixrydinqejtFFRpaF3M7uT0tnNpV0xYtxM9GWK4LuMSUEaBtL9VlD~krQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kuna Joint District Board of Trustees voted to approve change orders for asphalt repairs at several schools after the contractor told staff parts of those lots must be removed and replaced rather than simply seal‑coated.

Safe Schools manager Foley Fuller told trustees that contractor representatives identified multiple areas—most notably at Indian Creek and Ross—where sealcoating would be ineffective. “If we’re not gonna do the repairs, don’t seal coat it. It’d be a total waste of money,” Fuller said, summarizing the contractor’s recommendation that crews fully remove and replace the worst sections.

The district had set aside $1,250,000 for parking lot resurfacing. Staff reported that four change orders submitted by the contractor add roughly $290,000 in costs. Board members were told the additional expense would be paid from the district’s allocated “house bill” funds.

Trustees debated whether to rebid the repair work to seek other contractors. Staff and at least one trustee said a rebid would delay the repairs until next summer and could worsen conditions at Ross and Indian Creek; staff warned waiting would likely increase damage and cost at those sites. Trustees also noted that several firms that bid on the original seal‑coating job do not perform full asphalt replacement, which limited options for immediate competitive rebidding.

After discussion the board moved to approve the requested asphalt repairs for the schools listed on the agenda (identified in the meeting as KMS/KHS, FMS, Ross and Indian Creek). The motion passed with all trustees voting aye.

Board members asked staff to share prior bid documents and the bid score sheets so trustees could see what companies had proposed and which contractors perform full asphalt repairs versus sealcoat/crackfill work.

Background: Staff said the original project solicitation focused on sealcoating and crack fill; subsequent on‑site inspections prompted contractors to recommend full replacement in some locations. Trustees were warned that delaying repairs could lead to greater foundation and grading damage at some schools.","The Kuna Joint District board approved change orders to fully replace sections of parking lots at several schools after the contractor said sealcoating would be ineffective; the board agreed to use state \"house bill\" funds for the extra work and rejected a rebid that would delay repairs.","actionData","errors"]
