Raytown C-2 board approves multiple purchases, calendar revisions and staff-day forgiveness
Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting the Raytown C-2 Board of Education approved a NextGen firewall purchase ($215,682), new office cubicle furniture ($60,776), acceptance of donations, revisions to academic calendars, and forgiveness of four inclement-weather contract days for staff; several procedural minutes and the 2025–26 course guide were also approved.
The Raytown C-2 Board of Education approved several motions at its Jan. 13 meeting, including technology and furniture purchases, calendar adjustments and staff‑day forgiveness.
The board voted to approve a purchase of a NextGen firewall for the district (vendor and project described as "NextGen for a night firewall for the yellow dog" in the meeting record) in the amount of $215,682. A separate motion approved new cubicle furniture from SSI Furnishing for $60,776. Both motions were made, seconded and recorded as passed.
Trustees also approved routine procedural items: minutes of the Oct. 14, 2024 finance committee meeting and the Dec. 9, 2024 board policy review committee meeting, and a package of donations to district schools (gifts of supplies, winter clothing and several monetary donations listed in the district record). The transcript lists donations including $200 from a 1974 graduating class and other materials and apparel; the meeting thanked donors for supporting district programs.
On calendars and contract days: the board approved a motion to forgive four inclement-weather contract days for all Raytown C-2 employees rather than extending the school year to make up the time. Separately, the board approved a revision to the 2024–25 academic calendar and held a first reading of the 2025–26 academic calendar and the tentative 2026–27 calendar.
Other business included approval of the 2025–26 career and education planning guide (covered in a separate presentation) and a motion to adjourn at 7:43 p.m.
Meeting minutes record that motions were made, seconded and passed for each item; the transcript records individual board members saying "yes" during votes but does not provide a roll-call tally for every motion in the audio transcript excerpt.
