Muscle Shoals board unanimously approves agenda, minutes, consent items and personnel report
Summary
The Muscle Shoals Board of Education approved the January meeting agenda, December minutes, a consent package including financial reports and a band-uniform bid, and the personnel report; all motions carried unanimously.
The Muscle Shoals City Schools Board of Education voted unanimously to approve the meeting agenda, the Dec. 17 minutes, the consent agenda and the personnel report during its January meeting.
Superintendent Dr. Holden recommended approval of the agenda and the consent items. The consent agenda included December financial reports, a bid recommendation for new band uniforms, a vehicle purchase for the maintenance department, surplus-item declarations, the 25-26 code of conduct and school handbooks, and the customary relocation of the February meeting to the Muscle Shoals Career Academy in recognition of Career Tech Month.
The board approved the agenda on a motion by Dr. Stotter, seconded by Dr. Davis; the motion carried (5–0). The Dec. 17 minutes were approved on a motion by Dr. Davis, seconded by Mr. King (5–0). The consent agenda was approved on a motion by Mr. King, seconded by Dr. Stotter (5–0). The personnel report was approved on a motion by Dr. Stotter, seconded by Dr. Davis (5–0).
The personnel report recorded the resignation of Gabriel Goodlow from soccer assistant coaching duties only and the employment of Ruben Martinez as a maintenance skilled worker (regular 260-day assignment; effective dates flexible). The board approved changes to part-time and supplemental coaching assignments after the resignation, affecting Josh Bailey and Adam Beck. The report also assigned website and TV announcement manager duties at the high school to specific employees (detailed in board materials) and assigned Jeff Madden to assume the district safety coordinator duties for the remainder of the school year upon the retirement of John McClanahan. The district added three part-time, temporary extended-day program aides through Community Ed. The packet included, as information only, four leave requests for employees.
Board members asked no substantive questions during roll call votes; the meeting record shows the votes as "Aye" with no opposition. During discussion of the consent agenda, the superintendent noted the band director (Miss Hood) was not present to model the new uniform prior to the vote. The board indicated enthusiasm for the new uniforms and said they looked forward to seeing them on students.
The meeting concluded after the superintendent gave a brief report and invited attendees to a concurrent state-of-the-city address at Cypress; no further board action was taken at the meeting.
