Board approves consent agenda, donation, summer wage adjustments and dissolution of girls gymnastics co-op

The Stewartville Public School District board voted unanimously on several routine items at its meeting.

Consent agenda and minutes: The board approved the prior meeting minutes and the consent agenda by roll call (motion by Miss Kiefer, second by Mr. Welch). The motion passed 5-0.

Donation acceptance: The board adopted a resolution accepting a $929.30 donation from "First Farmers Merchants at Bridal Bank" to purchase concession supplies; the administration said the donation reduces concession costs so more concession revenue can be forwarded to the groups that operate concessions. The motion (mover: Miss Kiefer; seconder: Mr. Lowman) was approved by roll call, 5-0.

Wage adjustments for returning summer workers: Trustees approved a proposal to provide small wage increases for returning seasonal staff (reported as increases generally between $0.10 and $0.25). The board adopted the increase by voice vote after a motion by Mr. Welch and second by Mr. Lowman; the motion passed 5-0.

Dissolution of MSHSL girls gymnastics co-op: The board adopted a resolution notifying the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) that the girls gymnastics cooperative is being dissolved; the district noted that both cooperative partners must adopt the resolution and that the MSHSL registration deadline is this month. The motion (mover: Mr. Welch; seconder: Miss Kiefer) passed by roll call, 5-0.

Adjournment: The board voted to adjourn; the motion passed 5-0 and the meeting ended at about 7:29 p.m.
