Board approves personnel hires, contracts and insurance renewals; behavioral services vote includes one abstention
Summary
The board approved a set of consent and action items including contracts for speech and occupational therapy services, insurance renewals and the district's ESC COG appointment; the contract for behavioral intervention services passed with one abstention.
The Delaware City Schools Board of Education approved several contract and personnel items at its July 14, 2025, meeting, taking roll-call votes on multiple agenda items contained in the consent and action sections.
Key votes recorded in the meeting transcript included: - McKibben and Monte contract for speech and occupational therapy services (agenda item 5.1): approved, roll call recorded as all yes. (Motion and roll call recorded in the meeting.) - Continued relationship with the Educational Service Center Council of Governments (ESC COG) and appointment of Elizabeth Coy as the district representative, effective Aug. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2027 (agenda item 5.2): approved, roll call recorded as all yes. - Property, fleet and liability insurance renewals with Hoskett Ueland Insurance Solutions, effective July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026 (agenda item 5.4): approved, roll call recorded as all yes. - Agreement with Behavioral Intervention Services (agenda item 5.6): approved; roll-call in the record shows board members voting yes except Missus Gassaway, who recorded an abstention.
In addition, the board approved the overall consent agenda later in the meeting by roll call.
Earlier in the meeting the board removed agenda item 5.3 (an OBJ project item) and tabled it to a later date; the motion to remove and table item 5.3 passed by roll call. The treasurer/CFO also removed the approval of the financial report (item 3.4a) from the consent agenda so it will be considered at a future meeting.
Motions for individual items were moved and seconded during the meeting; the transcript did not consistently record which board member moved or seconded each motion and in several cases the mover/second was not captured in the public record.
The behavioral intervention services motion included an abstention by Missus Gassaway; no other recorded votes showed opposition.
The votes taken align with the agenda items read into the record; specific contract dollar amounts and some contract details were not read aloud during the meeting and are recorded as not specified in the meeting transcript.
