- The board set the public hearing date for the R&R and the budget hearing for 6 p.m. on Sept. 8 (the September board meeting date). A board member moved and the motion passed.

- The board approved the district cardiac emergency response plan required by the recent state law, with one wording change requested by a board member clarifying the language on commotio cordis and cardiac arrest. A motion to amend the plan's language passed and the plan was approved.

- The board approved multiple personnel items in omnibus motions: a list of new hires and approved job transfers were moved, seconded and approved. The transcript records a long roll call-style approval of hires and transfers and later a list of separations. Specific names were recorded in the minutes as presented.

- The board ratified a negotiated agreement (motion to ratify the negotiated agreement passed by voice/vote) and also voted to approve classified staff changes as presented.

- The board approved a pay increase: a motion to present a 3% raise for classified and administrative staff passed.

Several of these actions were taken after the board recessed into executive session for personnel and student confidentiality matters; the public record shows the motions, seconds and roll-call votes recorded on the meeting minutes for those administrative items.

The meeting concluded after a few future agenda requests and the board adjourned.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","July 14 2025 USD 469 Board of Education Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","On multiple motions the Lansing School Board set a Sept. 8 budget hearing date, approved a cardiac‑response plan with minor wording changes, ratified a negotiated agreement, and approved personnel changes and a 3% pay increase for classified and administrative staff.","taxTitle","Lansing, School Boards, Kansas","taxId",70182,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510307,"Board signs 2022 child nutrition agreement after debate over nondiscrimination language",926,3442000,4368000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5386798-8363b12b17b38252f34e9b37c474742a&start=3442&end=4368","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5386798-8363b12b17b38252f34e9b37c474742a/thumbnail_3442000.jpg","/articles/6510307/Lansing/School-Boards/Kansas/Board-signs-2022-child-nutrition-agreement-after-debate-over-nondiscrimination-language","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510307-ac33ee65659ff4dab9d62e813f48b7a9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771107792&Signature=S-ijb9mh2YGYZqywEORaF5zlLFXdRFzXuWWuqXQbD6KP69hQ4cBl1AbxhIum4G9G~jJpxlWltQ8l0HxH4fpntxRnEEuyUVYzo-bPbyOg8XL2nUQ~30H---8eykoDISoEgRzHx-ZTbNPB5XHAjgYTETAhvV1X~gcE5USZo3EXrWDLVQ54YjTU9ZfzlkAu-RZku-v1EA3TGzzoZtYr1s1Ue116d5-4nyScT1A1bn1mdMoRYiefWcTcImT2a5igOYxwnGJvH44Z8wOOoWSmuUxxwTylYBNQRpf4IE7F1xk59MABdA1TNTgIhP1XkBS6crSvjHPglQ~bk9mTJ91forU9tA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lansing School Board voted to adopt the 2022 Kansas Child Nutrition & Wellness agreement after a lengthy discussion about nondiscrimination wording tied to federal guidance and an attorney general's letter.

Board member Amy proposed submitting a line‑out version of the newer template to remove references to “gender identity” and “sexual orientation,” saying she had worked with the Kansas attorney general's office and the AG's deputies on how to proceed. Amy moved that the district approve the line‑out approach; the motion drew extended debate about whether removing or altering categories could jeopardize federal funding.

Supporters of adopting the 2022 template argued the district must avoid administrative burden and the risk of losing federal funds while state and federal guidance were in flux. One board member said, “I still just don't think it's worth the risk of losing that federal funding.” Opponents urged legal review before altering the language.

Ultimately the board approved the 2022 agreement as the recommended form to submit to Kansas Department of Education (KSDE). The superintendent's office said KSDE would provide updated forms if and when the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issues written direction; until then the 2022 contract is the district's working template. The board directed staff to proceed with the 2022 submission so district child‑nutrition operations remain eligible for state and federal reimbursements.

Board discussion also noted the administrative work required if the district adopted the 2025 nondiscrimination statement now: the district would need to change numerous materials (online forms, handbooks, vendor templates) and then potentially change them again if USDA issues alternate guidance. The superintendent said KSDE had said once USDA provided written directives CNW (Child Nutrition & Wellness) would update forms and supply the district with a timeline for adoption.","After several board members expressed concern about federal guidance and legal risk, the Lansing School Board voted to submit the 2022 Kansas Child Nutrition & Wellness agreement rather than immediately adopt the 2025 nondiscrimination language.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6510308,"Raymond James presents mixed financial picture for proposed Riverbend Heights RHID; board asks for more analysis",1903,1452000,3355000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5386798-8363b12b17b38252f34e9b37c474742a&start=1452&end=3355","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5386798-8363b12b17b38252f34e9b37c474742a/thumbnail_1452000.jpg","/articles/6510308/Lansing/School-Boards/Kansas/Raymond-James-presents-mixed-financial-picture-for-proposed-Riverbend-Heights-RHID-board-asks-for-more-analysis","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6510308-2617fa4d585a9eed154a42a4578c2549/orig.mp4?Expires=1771107792&Signature=igLbq5B61~0ZmOfYj1Ri9nMP1qcaCJVRbXFtLcg-1qMWK7-f~sWWMOgBaF5o6UzpjIshZYNsWzRHPw4aZ20d6dN5nOM3B0b0Xcrd20aFOswr5NYe56qMW19ZFjIhOQE08P4pNX7rOYJ4nDJcgu~Z4WHsxEWM25vg-jjzxecJxpvt6mUmxSHueOfCE-SiT8WvxhS8SEF9~qURzw~Nvv7mMqr2uEIdK3LQDS20cgb7ApzactrqC8MKRQl43KEJNn0bM4WdZKVK5CfPb5RqYg4IOq-Dn1OlDuWeWH8BucIwJrnhNykbR1dW7hI0WBihP5pkpMPgE7-pRb4RQTMnd7i1UA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Greg Varenberg of Raymond James told the Lansing School Board that an RHID could produce both revenue the district might capture and costs the district would need to plan for.

Varenberg said the RHID could “capture revenue from inside the RHID that would impact money that would be used for the district for operating cost,” and that the district could also see increased state aid for certain existing bond repayment formulas if additional students enroll while the RHID’s assessed valuation is excluded from the tax rolls.

That potential gain is limited, Varenberg emphasized, to how the state calculates aid for pre-2015 bond issues and capital outlay; he told the board that “increased state aid in the bond and interest fund cannot be used for anything other than repayment of bonds.” He also warned that added students could increase classroom and operating costs and could, in an extreme case, force the district to consider a bond election for more space.

Public commenters gave sharply different views. John Redden, a public commenter, disputed the developer’s contention that the project would solve the district’s revenue gap and said the per‑pupil state subsidy “is significantly less than the actual cost to educate each additional student.” Harlan Russell, a Lansing resident with site‑development experience, supported the RHID as a time‑limited tool to spur housing growth and said more homes could broaden the tax base.

Board members asked detailed questions about the Raymond James calculations and the timetable. Varenberg described his firm’s numbers as illustrative, using assumptions such as $300,000 average home value, 417 homes built at 52 homes per year, and an example 80% capture of allowable revenues over a 20‑year period. Using those assumptions he showed an example in which roughly $10.2 million could be captured inside the RHID and about $2.0 million would flow to the district over the 20 years; he stressed those figures were illustrations, not firm projections.

After the presentation the board agreed to a next step: provide Raymond James with the district’s demographer/market study (RSP Associates) so Raymond James can produce a more complete analysis that incorporates enrollment projections and facility capacity. Board member Amy asked that the district provide RSP’s information “as soon as we possibly get it so that that way we can have up to date information and analysis from them,” and Greg answered, “We can run those calculations, fairly quickly if we have the data.”

The board and presenters repeatedly framed the numbers as dependent on several variables outside the district’s control, including statewide assessed valuation per pupil and enrollment timing. Varenberg recommended the board evaluate impacts within the 30‑day window that follows city action on the development plan; he noted the city’s development plan was scheduled for public presentation on July 17 (city process), which would start the clock for county and school protest rights.

The board did not take a formal vote on RHID approval at the meeting; instead it sought further analysis and directed staff to share RSP demographic materials with Raymond James.","A Raymond James presentation to the Lansing School Board outlined potential gains in state aid and possible operating and facility pressures if the proposed Riverbend Heights Residential Housing Incentive District (RHID) is approved.

A board member pulled 2.5 from the consent agenda so the board could discuss two elements listed under the appointments: a routine annual rescission of any orphaned handbook policies and a review of the district's immunization policy communications. District staff told the board the annual rescission is a routine legal housekeeping item that does not change board policy.

On immunizations the board asked that every publication the district distributes about required immunizations include both the relevant state statute reference and a statement that parents have the right to pursue a medical or religious exemption. A board member said the information already appears on the district website but asked that it also be included on printed handouts; district staff replied there is a health‑department form that includes that information and staff would add it to publications.

After that clarification a board member moved to approve 2.5 as adjusted. The motion passed; one board member recorded a no vote and asked the minutes to reflect the reason: a book purchase (Incarceron) listed on an item and concern about matters that must be discussed in executive session. The board then proceeded to the next agenda items.","The board pulled agenda item 2.5 for discussion, asked staff to add information about medical and religious exemptions to immunization materials that go to families, and approved the organizational appointments after that adjustment.
