Board approves routine agenda items, charter amendment and renewal, and health contract; roofing bid pulled
Summary
At its May 13 meeting the Leon County School Board approved several routine items, advertised a policy amendment for future adoption, approved a health services contract renewal, passed a charter amendment and charter renewal for Tallahassee Classical School and pulled a roofing award for later consideration.
The Leon County School Board took multiple formal actions on May 13. Key outcomes included unanimous approvals of routine changes and consent items, a unanimous approval to advertise amendments to Policy 75.10 for later adoption, passage of a charter amendment and charter renewal for Tallahassee Classical School by 3–1 votes, and unanimous approval of a 2025–26 annual renewal health contract with the Leon County Department of Health.
Changes and additions: The superintendent recommended and the board approved changes and additions to the May 13 agenda, including replaced documentation for item 17.01 (surplus property write-offs, reference no. 2453), updated personnel action documentation for item 7.03, and the late addition of item 19.08 — the 2025–26 renewal health contract between Leon County School Board and the Leon County Department of Health in an amount not to exceed $1,496,519.76. The motion passed unanimously.
Consent agenda and minutes: The board approved consent items including prior meeting minutes; that motion passed unanimously.
Policy 75.10: The superintendent recommended advertising amendments to Policy 75.10 with a public hearing and adoption scheduled for the June 17 board meeting; the board voted to approve advertisement unanimously.
Charter governance items (Tallahassee Classical School): The board approved Amendment 4 to the Dec. 11, 2018 charter between the School Board of Leon County and the Tallahassee Classical School; the motion passed 3–1. The board also approved the school’s charter renewal contract by a 3–1 vote.
Item 19.07 (Jenkins Roofing Inc., Godby High School building 400 reroof invitation to bid No. 2452-2026) was pulled from the agenda; no vote was recorded on that purchase order award.
Health contract: The board approved the 2025–26 annual renewal health contract with the Leon County Department of Health for an amount not to exceed $1,496,519.76 and authorized board officers and the superintendent to sign related documents; the motion passed unanimously. The superintendent noted the health contract represents about a $300,000 increase over the current year and said some of that increase may need to be covered from the district’s general fund because projected Medicaid reimbursement may not fully cover the rise.
