Waynesville R‑VI board adopts personnel handbooks, approves lease financing and funds project graduation
Summary
At its March meeting the Waynesville R‑VI Board of Education approved updated personnel handbooks, adopted a lease‑purchase financing resolution with a 4.65% interest rate, and authorized a $4,000 contribution to a project graduation program; other routine consent items passed by show of hands.
The Waynesville R‑VI Board of Education approved multiple administrative and finance items at its March meeting, voting to adopt updated personnel handbooks, approve a lease‑purchase financing resolution, and authorize a $4,000 contribution to the high school project graduation program.
Board President called for motions on each item and board members voted by show of hands. Becky Esrock, a representative from Stifel Public Finance, told the board the district's certificates of participation were met with strong demand in the market and that the financing closed with an interest rate of 4.65%.
The personnel handbooks were presented for adoption as a second reading; administration had attached versions of the certificated and classified handbooks for board consideration. The board approved the motion to adopt the personnel handbooks as presented.
The lease purchase resolution was presented with underwriting remarks from Stifel and bond counsel in attendance. Esrock said market conditions allowed the district to secure a lower borrowing cost and thanked the board and administration for their work on the financing. Counsel Sean Flynn was present to answer legal questions. The board approved the lease purchase resolution.
The board also approved a $4,000 contribution to Project Graduation, the district's alcohol- and drug-free post‑graduation celebration for seniors. Administration said the contribution will support the planned event.
Several routine items were approved earlier under the consent agenda by show of hands. The meeting closed the open session by voting to enter closed session under RSMo 610.021, sections 2, 3 and 13 (real estate; hiring/firing/discipline/promotion of employees; and individual personnel records), as announced by the Board President.
