Summary
At its meeting, the Jennings County School Corporation board approved the consent agenda, several staff hires, multiple donations, the annual appropriation-transfer resolution and a memorandum of understanding with the county health department. Votes on the listed items were recorded by motion, second and roll call tallies.
The Jennings County School Corporation Board of School Trustees voted on several routine and fiscal items at its meeting, approving the consent agenda, staff hires, donations, an annual appropriation-transfer resolution and an emergency memorandum of understanding with the Jennings County Health Department.
The board accepted the consent agenda on a motion by Earl, seconded by Pat; the board recorded the vote as 7-0 in favor. Later, the board approved a group of recommended support-staff hires — including Sonia Jackson (special-education paraprofessional, Sand Creek Elementary), Brandon Malloy (custodian, Jennings County High School), Austin Martin (volunteer baseball coach, Jennings County High School), Charlene Sproles (part-time custodian, Sand Creek Elementary) and Christina Waitress (custodian, Jennings County High School) — on a motion by Mary Lynn, second by Travis; vote 7-0.
The board accepted a package of donations that included monetary gifts and in-kind items (example: a forklift donated by Toyota Material Handling in Columbus) on a motion that passed 7-0. A separate $1,000 donation from Mary Lynn Wickham to provide commemorative plaques for the Jennings County High School volleyball season was approved in a second, recorded vote that the board clerk summarized as "6 and 1," which the board treated as a 6-1 vote in favor.
Other formal actions included approval of the annual resolution authorizing the treasurer or deputy treasurer to make transfers of appropriations within major funds (motion by Pat, second by Mary Lynn; vote 7-0) and approval of an annual memorandum of understanding with the Jennings County Health Department for emergency purposes (motion by Travis, second by Cheryl; vote 7-0). The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn (motion by Pat, second by Earl), which passed unanimously.
Several items on the agenda were presented for information or first reading only, including a set of new NEOLA policies on first reading and a school-improvement presentation from Jennings County High School staff; no board action was taken on those items during the meeting.
