Board approves routine items, outdoor field rental and telehealth pilot; budget revision adopted
Summary
At the May 6 meeting the Prescott Unified governing board approved a series of routine and operational items including a budget revision, an alcohol-waiver for a city event at Mile High field, an MOU to join an Arizona telehealth pilot for student mental-health visits, and terms to accept future building-renewal grants.
The Prescott Unified governing board approved several motions at its May 6 meeting, most by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Key actions recorded in the meeting minutes and approved by the board: - Agenda and minutes: The board approved the meeting agenda and minutes for prior sessions. - Consent agenda: The board approved routine consent items including donations (donors included Mountain Institute, Prescott Valley Ace Hardware and others) and personnel and finance items. - Budget revision: The board approved revisions to the 2024–25 budget limits for maintenance & operation and capital budgets as required by state rules and updated enrollment figures. - Alcohol restriction suspension: The board temporarily suspended the district prohibition on alcohol for a city-sponsored downtown event that would use the Mile High Middle School football field and track. The district noted the event is fenced, on a non-school day, and will have city security and cleanup provisions. - Cartwheel Health MOU (Arizona Telehealth Pilot): The board approved a memorandum of understanding with Cartwheel Health Services PC to participate in the state telehealth pilot, enabling tele-mental-health referrals for students; the program can provide a limited number of pro bono sessions when grant funds cover services. - Policy BEDB amendment: The board adopted a clarifying revision to policy BEDB (public comment procedure) and replaced a staff email address with the district information address to avoid name-specific contact language. - Building renewal grant (BRG) terms: The board approved acceptance of future Building Renewal Grant terms and conditions for Prescott Unified sites; staff are preparing design quotes for specific deficiencies (for example, a bridge at Granite Mountain Elementary and window work at other sites).
Where movers and seconders were not named in the minutes, the clerk recorded voice votes with “aye” and no members opposing. Several items were informational only (for example, a briefing on the Arizona Risk Retention Trust model-policy program and the district’s annual finance/audit overview).
