Board tables HES custodial contract pending fuller board participation

The Milan Special School District Board on May 19 voted to table consideration of a proposed custodial contract with HES until a meeting with fuller board participation.

Board members said the proposed contract represented a major decision that warranted input from all members. Mr. Crocker moved to table the item and Mr. Horton seconded. Members voted by voice to table the contract; the chair announced the item had been tabled.

No contract amounts, term lengths or specific performance terms were discussed on the record at the meeting. Several board members expressed concern that the item was "a big one" and that absent members should be present for the conversation; the transcript records repeated requests to defer the item until a meeting when more members could participate.

The board did not take any further action on the custodial contract at the May 19 meeting. The item will return at a future meeting when the board schedules further consideration.
