Votes at a glance: Show Low Unified School District board approves routine financial, personnel and contract items
Summary
At its September meeting the Show Low Unified School District board approved the agenda, minutes, payroll and payables, multiple personnel actions, contracts and purchases including a special education bus and an intergovernmental agreement with the city of Show Low.
At the district’s September meeting, the Show Low Unified School District board approved a series of routine business items including the meeting agenda, prior minutes, payroll and student activity vouchers, personnel hires and transfers, several contracts and purchases, and donations from local organizations.
Key approvals included the district’s agenda and the minutes of the Aug. 14, 2025 regular meeting; acceptance of payroll and student activity vouchers as the last fiscal-year expenditures; classified and certified personnel employment actions; an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Show Low for donated audiovisual equipment for a CTE class; and several purchasing and disposal items.
The board also approved a broadcasting agreement with Simmons Media for the 2025–26 school year activities (administrators characterized the revised contract as increasing the district’s revenue share), a sole-source purchase for a theatrical performance rights provider (Music Theatre International), and the purchase of one new special education bus from Canyon State Bus through a cooperative procurement for $183,000. Donations from community organizations — including cooking equipment donated to the culinary program ($4,000) and school supplies from the White Mountain Women’s Club — were accepted and approved.
Motions to approve fundraising activities, school property disposals (including a Dodge Ram pickup described as worn out), and the creation or approval of specific staff positions were also adopted. The transcript records board approval on these matters by voice vote with multiple “Aye” responses; exact roll-call tallies and the names of individual movers and seconders are not consistently recorded in the transcript and therefore are not detailed here.
