Board approves insurance increase, contracts and charter renewals; full list of votes
Summary
Monroe County School Board passed a package of action items including an insurance option increase, contract renewals, travel approval and marquee installations; several votes were unanimous or without roll call while insurance coverage passed 4-1.
The Monroe County School Board on Feb. 11 approved a series of action items including an insurance coverage change, several contract renewals, approval for a student travel trip and the purchase of replacement marquees. Most items passed by voice vote; the board recorded a roll call and a 4-1 vote on the property and casualty insurance decision.
Key outcomes at a glance:
- Property and casualty insurance: The board chose “Option 2” to increase coverage. The motion passed 4-1 after a roll call with Board Member (unnamed) recorded as the sole no vote.
- Superintendent summative evaluation: Approved by motion; no roll call tally recorded.
- Key West High School band trip: The board approved the trip to the New Year’s Day parade in Rome, Italy, but clarified the district is not a party to the private contract with the travel vendor.
- Gerald Adams restrictive covenant (environmental mitigation): Approved for submission to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
- Sigsbee Charter School contract renewal: Approved.
- 6B charter school (contract renewal): Approved.
- Ajax contract for replacement marquee installations at Key Largo School, Marathon High School and Poinciana (Point Sienna) School: Approved; the board also discussed unresolved work at Tommy Roberts and agreed to schedule a separate workshop on that field.
Several routine consent items were approved as amended after the board removed Consent Item 11 (roofing repairs at Poinciana Elementary) from the consent agenda because a new contractor had not completed required paperwork.
Ending: The board concluded business after approving the listed actions and set follow-up steps (workshop, site visits, independent evaluation) related to field conditions discussed during public comment.
