The Hendry County School Board approved multiple routine and operational items, including the consent agenda, a contract for an electronic message center and an alternative board meeting calendar.
Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda on a motion by Mrs. Nelson, seconded by Mrs. Farmer. The motion carried with all members voting in favor.
Electronic message center (Action item 5a): The board approved a recommendation to purchase an electronic marquee from Lehi Designs for a site near the campus and other district locations. The superintendent said the sign will be an 8-by-8 screen to carry district messages and emergency information. The motion to approve the electronic message center was made by Reverend Brown, seconded by Mrs. Nelson, and carried unanimously; the superintendent described the sign’s purpose as a district-controlled communications medium and said sales-tax funds will pay for the purchase.
