Summary
The Hoover City Schools Board approved routine business items including payroll and cash disbursements, the personnel report, disposal of obsolete noncapitalized technology items, and awarded a three‑year WAN services contract to Spectrum Enterprise. The board approved minutes and amended the agenda earlier in the meeting.
The Hoover City Schools Board of Education approved a set of routine business actions Tuesday, including payroll and cash disbursement summaries, the personnel report, disposal of obsolete noncapitalized technology items and a contract award for wide area network (WAN) services.
Michelle McCain presented the financial summary: cash disbursements of $5,179,954.20 for November and an operational summary for the month ended Nov. 30, 2024. McCain told the board that 12.9% of budgeted revenue for fiscal 2025 had been received as of Nov. 30, 2024, and that general fund expenditures were near the monthly benchmark. "Included in your packet this evening is the summary and general purpose financial statement for the month ended November 30, 2024," McCain said.
The board approved the personnel report and then approved business actions by voice vote. It also approved a recommendation to dispose of listed obsolete noncapitalized technology items that are out of service in accordance with district procedures.
On contracting, the board awarded the bid for wide area network service to Spectrum Enterprise, the sole bidder, under a three‑year agreement with two optional one‑year extensions as presented. The recommendation to award the WAN contract was approved by voice vote.
Earlier in the meeting the board established a quorum, adopted the agenda and approved minutes from the Dec. 10, 2024 meeting, the Dec. 26, 2024 special call meeting and the Jan. 8, 2025 special call meeting.
