Board approves agenda, consent items and copier purchase; tables Massey Electric internet quote
Summary
At its April 15 meeting, the Johnson County Board of Education approved the agenda and consent items, approved membership dues and a copier purchase on state contract, and voted to table a quote from Massey Electric in favor of a competitive bid process. Roll-call tallies were recorded for votes.
The Johnson County Board of Education approved the meeting agenda and consent agenda, approved membership dues and a copier purchase on state contract, and voted to table a quote related to internet access and phone service in favor of seeking competitive bids.
During the meeting the board approved the agenda and then the consent agenda by roll call; votes recorded in the transcript show "yes" responses from Mister Graver, Mister Robinson and Mister Long. The board discussed an item identified as Massey Electric Company (attachment 10) related to internet access to the baseball and cell service and moved to table that item and instruct administration to publicly solicit competitive bids. A board member motioned to table and instructed administration to "publicly put this out for a competitive bid" and to bring a recommendation back once bids are received. The motion to table passed by roll call; yes votes recorded were Mister Graver, Mister Robinson and Mister Long.
The board also approved routine membership dues to GSBA, with supporting comments that the organization provides policy services and training for school board members; the motion passed by roll call with yes votes recorded from the same members in attendance. Another action approved a state-contract copier replacement; the administration said it was a standard upgrade on a state contract and the motion to approve passed by roll call with the same recorded yes votes.
The board received a financial summary showing local-option sales tax and property tax increases compared with the prior year, a general-purpose revenue figure of 77.4% and expenditures at 65.1% in the packet. Administrators presented a CTE Perkins grant item for acknowledgment (no approval required) that will fund equipment for a new Kubota shop and reimburse some staff development; the packet did not list dollar amounts.
The board did not take additional formal action on the 5-year plan at this meeting beyond noting that a strategic-plan update would be presented in the month’s meeting packet and discussed in the work session.
