Details and context
The LIU operating budget was presented as having a total line-item cost of $132,477 for the services listed; district representatives said the district share is substantially lower—$9,297—because most costs are shared among participating districts. During discussion one director said he supported the IU’s work but was voting no “so they see the no” and to signal he wanted tighter fiscal discipline going forward; the motion nevertheless passed.
The York County School of Technology budget and the district support-staff recommendations were approved by roll call votes. Board secretary Miss Little called the roll for the joint-operating authority budget and for subsequent items.
The tennis-court work will be paid from the Capital Reserve Fund. The motion included a single vendor for court resurfacing and a separate line for security fencing. The board approved both items on the same motion by roll call.
Ending: Minutes will record roll-call results and the district will proceed with procurement steps for the tennis work and update staff salary records after the support-staff recommendation approval.
