Board to consider $25,000 donation, playground redesign and a superintendent contract at next public meeting
Summary
The board said it will ask for Tuesday approval to accept a $25,000 donation tied to a playground redesign that expanded from an initial plan; it also announced a superintendent candidate who has accepted contract terms and is expected at Tuesday's meeting.
During the work session the board said it will ask members to accept a $25,000 donation from the Cheyenne R. Burkett Memorial Scholarship Fund and to approve a change to a previously approved playground project design.
Board materials described a playground project that began as a roughly $250,000–$300,000 plan but grew over design iterations; in the discussion the board cited an approved design and said the project had risen to around $6,690,000 (as described in board remarks). Board members said the $25,000 donation and other contributions helped with inclusive equipment items and noted the district’s capital budget limits would require rebalancing the project scope.
On personnel, the board announced the candidate it plans to recommend as superintendent. The board packet contains a contract and the candidate has accepted the terms, the administrators said. The candidate identified by the district is Dr. Charles Krainbacher, described in meeting materials as currently serving as assistant superintendent in Armstrong; the board said it will vote Tuesday on the contract and that Dr. Krainbacher and his wife plan to attend the meeting.
No votes were recorded during the work session. The board indicated it will take formal action on the donation, the playground project revision and the superintendent contract at its next public meeting.
