Williamston board approves pool equipment contract, theater class, overnight trips and superintendent evaluation; consent items passed by voice
Summary
The board approved several consent and action items including a $305,379 equipment contract for the community pool, a high-school theater production class, middle- and high-school overnight/out-of-state trips, and the superintendent evaluation. Several personnel leaves and minutes were also approved.
At its meeting on an unspecified date, the Williamston Community Schools Board of Education approved a series of consent and action items, including a purchase of mechanical equipment for the community pool and curricular and extracurricular program approvals.
Key approvals included an awarded contract to a vendor for pool mechanical equipment with a cost not to exceed $305,379; the board took the action to secure long‑lead mechanical units needed for next summer’s pool work. The board also approved the addition of a high‑school theater production class, and approved requested middle‑school and high‑school overnight and out‑of‑state field trips.
The board approved minutes of a prior regular meeting and granted two staff leave requests (one FMLA extension for an employee expected to return by Feb. 17 contingent on medical clearance; and a separate short leave of up to six weeks for a new hire). The board also approved the superintendent’s evaluation using the evaluation model discussed earlier in the meeting.
Several items were passed by voice vote or roll call at the meeting; the transcript records motions, seconds and voice approvals but does not provide a full member-by-member roll call tally for every item. Where the transcript records a roll call request for a specific motion, the board completed the action and recorded approval.
