Summary
At its Jan. 27 meeting the Elkhorn Area School District board approved a series of routine items by voice vote, including an overnight travel request for HOSA students, payment of general and other fund bills, approval of previous meeting minutes, personnel recommendations and a revised inventory policy.
The Elkhorn Area School District Board of Education approved a series of routine motions by voice vote during its Jan. 27 meeting, including an overnight travel request for HOSA students, payment of bills, approval of minutes from Jan. 13, personnel recommendations and a revision to the district inventory policy.
The board first approved an overnight travel request for the HOSA (Future Health Professionals) students to attend a conference at the Kalahari and an international leadership conference in Nashville (details provided during the presentation). The motion was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote: “All in favor, say aye,” the chair said; members answered “Aye,” and the motion passed.
The board then approved the minutes of the Jan. 13, 2025 regular and closed-session meeting. That item was decided by roll call; the transcript records the roll call responses as: “Mister Roger? Yes. Mister Gerhardt is excused. Eric Gordon? Yes. Miss Zingersault? Yes. Missus Kostak? Yes. Missus Rekley? Yes. Mister Scarab? Yes. And mister Jaime Sarabia? [recorded as] State.” The chair announced the motion passed.
Finance items were next: the board approved general and other fund bills (checks 154135–154267; wire 771776; ACH 509–532) totaling $363,262.66 after a presentation and discussion about contract lengths for some advertising vendors. The motion carried on a voice vote.
Later in the meeting the personnel recommendation sheet (new employment contracts conditional on background checks and mandated screening) was moved, seconded and approved on a voice vote. The board also approved a revised policy 6.83 (inventory) by motion, second and voice vote.
Each approval was presented on the consent/regular agenda. Where the transcript records a roll-call vote (minutes approval), member responses are included above; other items passed on general voice votes with the chair announcing motions passed.
