Board approves agenda, minutes, financial reports and routine business; discusses high‑school land contracts
Summary
During the regular meeting the board approved the superintendent's agenda, minutes from Feb. 25, financial reports and routine business items. The district attorney reported negotiated amendments to land contracts related to the new high‑school property acquisition; no formal land‑sale vote was recorded.
The DeSoto County School Board approved several procedural items by voice vote during its regular meeting, and board members discussed progress on the new high‑school property acquisition.
Motions recorded and approved by the board included adopting the superintendent's agenda; approving the board minutes for Feb. 25; accepting financial reports; and approving routine business items. Each motion was moved and seconded and recorded as passed with board members responding "Aye." Two board members, Miss Mercer and Miss Chancey, were absent for roll call.
District attorney Mr. Hodak reported that the attorneys and staff had worked on amendments to the land contracts tied to the new high‑school property to secure a closer closing date and to ensure title was delivered prior to closing. Board members later referenced agenda items 11‑16 and 11‑20 as related to the new high school and property acquisition; the meeting transcript records discussion and appreciation for staff work in Tallahassee but does not record a board vote on a land purchase during this session.
The meeting adjourned at 6:19 p.m.
Ending: The board signaled continued follow‑up on the high‑school property work; staff will return with any formal contract or purchase motions at a future meeting if required.
