Votes at a glance: milk bid, printer lease addendum, drivers education contract and consent agenda approved

The Nevada R-V School District Board of Education approved several routine contracting and procurement items at its Aug. 18 meeting. Actions taken included awarding the district’s milk contract to AE, approving a copier/printer lease addendum to maintain the district’s "follow‑me" printing system, accepting a three‑year drivers education contract with Toronto Driving Academy, and approving the consent agenda.

Milk bid The board accepted AE’s low bid for dairy for the 2025–26 school year. Board members noted prior experience with AE and recalled one past year when switching suppliers produced unfavorable feedback from students. A motion to accept AE’s bid was moved and seconded and then approved.

Printer/copy lease addendum Administration asked the board to approve a lease addendum to replace existing hallway and office printers with models compatible with the district’s follow‑me printing system. The change preserves the existing workflow in which users send a job to a single queue and release it at any district printer. Administration said the change will increase the lease by $275 per month overall (not per machine) and will cover roughly 31 printers beyond the copiers; follow‑me printing per‑copy charges will remain the same. The board approved the update.

Drivers education contract The board approved a three‑year contract with Toronto Driving Academy to provide the district’s drivers education classes. Administration said the district typically runs one section each spring and is responsible for the cost if a free/reduced student enrolls; under the recommended contract the fee for a free/reduced student would be $320 (compared with Street Smarts’ quoted $445). The contract was moved, seconded and approved.

Consent agenda The board approved the consent agenda, which included minutes from the Aug. 4 meeting and a resolution to continue participation in the instructional support levy. During discussion a board member asked whether the Aug. 4 resolution specified the split between income tax and property tax; administration said it would review the packet language and the attorney’s guidance. The meeting record does not provide a line‑by‑line breakdown of the levy split.

Procedural notes All four items were presented as action items and were approved by motion and vote. The meeting transcript records motions and seconds but does not list detailed vote tallies for each line‑item vote in names; each item was recorded as approved on Aug. 18.
