Votes at a glance: consent agenda, staffing additions and lighting upgrade approved
Summary
The board approved routine consent items, added a third‑grade teacher, created a psychological examiner/504 case manager position, approved the athletic lighting upgrade and moved into closed session under Revised Missouri Statute Section 610.021.
At the meeting the Ste. Genevieve Co. R‑II Board of Education approved several motions by voice vote: the consent agenda; the addition of a third‑grade teacher at Saint Genevieve Elementary; creation of a full‑time psychological examiner/504 case manager position for 2025–26; and the previously described athletic lighting upgrade. The board then recessed to closed session under Revised Missouri Statute Section 610.021.
Consent agenda: A motion to approve the consent agenda items as presented passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Third‑grade teacher: Staff recommended adding a third‑grade teacher to prevent projected class sizes of 27–28 students in third grade after a second‑to‑third grade transition; the board approved the position on a motion and second, passed by voice vote.
Psychological examiner / 504 case manager: The board approved creating a full‑time psychological examiner position and a 504 case manager role after staff described counselor certification changes, vacancies and an increasing 504 caseload. The presenter said several districts use centralized psych examiners and that the district’s caseload growth now supports a full‑time position. The motion passed on a voice vote.
Athletic lighting upgrade: The board approved the LED field lighting upgrade (see separate article for details); the motion carried on a voice vote.
Closed session: The board later resumed a closed meeting citing Revised Missouri Statute Section 610.021; the meeting minutes will report any personnel changes approved in closed session within 72 hours of adjournment.
No roll‑call tallies with member names were recorded in the transcript; all votes were announced by voice as "Aye" and announced as carried when no opposition was voiced.
