Votes at a glance: Ozark R‑VI board approves budget revision, turf and facility change orders and other routine actions
Summary
The board approved a set of consent and action items including the second budget revision, change orders for chiller remanufacture, resurfacing of tennis courts, a new communication tool for grades 5–12 and amendments to meeting minutes; one board member abstained on the consent agenda minutes.
The Ozark R‑VI Board of Education approved several consent and action items during the meeting. Most motions passed unanimously; a single abstention was recorded on the consent agenda minutes.
Key actions and outcomes
• Consent agenda: Motion to approve by Amber; second by James. The board approved the consent agenda; one member (Matt) abstained from approving minutes he had not attended.
• Chiller remanufacture change orders (East and Middle schools): Motion to approve by James; second by Dustin. The board approved change orders for in‑place remanufacturing of chillers at East (contract $144,918) and the middle school ($131,250). Administrators said the work will be paid from bond proceeds and expected to occur during July.
• Tennis courts resurfacing: Motion to approve by James; second by Amber. The board approved Gerald Perry’s proposal at $74,100, with a $2,100 add‑on for pickleball lines. Administrators said the vendor will correct low spots and improve drainage; the courts are the district’s main community tennis facility.
• Communication tool for grades 5–12: Motion to approve (mover and seconder recorded in meeting). The board approved a consolidated communication platform for grades 5–12 intended to streamline parent‑school and teacher communication (Seesaw will remain for elementary grades).
• Second budget revision: Motion to approve (mover and seconder recorded in meeting). The board unanimously approved the second budget revision, which reorganized account codes to reflect state preschool funding (Missouri Quality Prekindergarten grant) and a revised equipment threshold ($5,000), and aligned reporting to ASBR/AASBO criteria.
• Amendment to October minutes: Motion to amend minutes to reflect that a public‑comment item (by District 2 patron) was moved during that meeting; motion passed.
Votes and procedures: Many motions were moved and seconded on the record; where the meeting transcript records unanimous approval the article lists the result as approved. Where a specific member abstained (consent agenda minutes), the meeting minutes show the abstention and the motion passed.
Why it matters: the approvals advance planned facility maintenance paid from bond proceeds, streamline district communications for secondary grades and formalize updated budget coding that affects reporting and transparency.
