The board approved the consent agenda including personnel updates, multiple interagency agreements, technology disposals and a donation of teacher support boxes to Hoagland Elementary; the motion passed 7-0.
The Marshalltown Community School District board on Sept. 2 approved the consent agenda, which included personnel listings, several interagency agreements and a donation of teacher support boxes to an elementary school.
District personnel staff reported 23 hourly openings and seven teaching openings — 30 positions total — and said additional hires would be listed at the next board meeting. The consent agenda included a high school course proposal to retitle a yearlong class from “Military Leadership” to “History of Military Leadership,” a transitional interdistrict transportation agreement, field experience placement agreements, a prepaid technology services agreement with Centroverse Area Education Agency for a 20-hour bank of support, and food service agreements for child and adult care food program meals with the YMCA and First United Methodist Head Start. The board also approved three statewide voluntary preschool program agreements with Bobcat Academy, St. Francis and the YMCA.
The district accepted a gift from the Kids in Need Foundation in partnership with 3M to donate teacher support boxes to full-time teachers at Hoagland Elementary. Technology staff requested that certain equipment be declared obsolete. Open enrollment figures reported were four in and 12 out.
There were no questions or public comments opposing the consent items. The board moved and seconded approval and recorded a 7-0 vote to adopt the consent agenda.
