Board approves multi‑vendor propane contract and moves to executive session
Summary
The board approved a two‑year propane procurement arrangement with one primary vendor and two backups for 2025–26 and 2026–27 and then voted to enter executive session to discuss hires, contract providers and student matters; both motions passed by voice vote, 5–0.
At the Oct. 24 meeting the trustees considered one action item: approval of the propane bid(s) for the 2025–26 and 2026–27 seasons. Administration explained the district solicited bids and recommended awarding a two‑year procurement that names one primary provider with two backup vendors to ensure supply continuity.
A trustee moved to approve the propane bid(s) as presented; another trustee seconded. The board voted by voice and the motion passed 5–0.
Later in the meeting a trustee moved that the board enter executive session to discuss hires, contract providers and student matters. The motion was seconded and carried on a 5–0 voice vote. Trustees stated there would be action following executive session. The transcript does not record the names of each trustee on the prevailing side of the votes; no roll‑call vote names were recorded.
Other procedural motions earlier in the meeting—approval of the agenda and approval of the consent agenda (minutes, vouchers and the 2025–26 child development services agreement)—were also approved by voice vote with the chair stating the motions passed (recorded as unanimous votes in the transcript). No board votes failed.
