School board adopts superintendent's agenda, approves routine reports and announces community events
Summary
On Veterans Day the board adopted the superintendent's agenda, approved minutes and financial reports, added a late payroll-related cafeteria item to ensure holiday pay, recognized staff and retirees, and announced a FAFSA night and community events.
The school board convened on Veterans Day and completed routine business, approving the superintendent's agenda and minutes for prior meetings. The board also approved financial reports, routine business and new business by voice votes recorded as 'Aye.' Specific item movers and seconders announced in the meeting included Miss Mercer and Dr. Goodman (agenda adoption), Mrs. Mott and Dr. Goodman (new business), and Miss Mercer and Mrs. Mott (financial reports). The meeting record shows voice approval but does not list individual roll-call tallies.
Superintendent Dr. Bennett and board members recognized staff accomplishments and long service. Dr. Bennett recognized Dr. Stafford as 'president-elect' of "FAFSA, which is a former association of school personnel administrators," congratulating her; board members also noted the upcoming retirement of Miss Ernestine in December. The board praised staff who prepare lengthy award applications that brought funds to the district.
Dr. Bennett notified the board of a late addition (item 12:15) to process cafeteria stipends so cafeteria employees could be paid prior to holiday leave. Board members expressed support for paying stipends rather than relying on unpaid duties.
On community programming, the board noted a Veterans Day parade earlier in the day and announced a FAFSA night at the high school on Nov. 20 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The board also reminded members of the FSBA/FADS joint conference in December.
The board adjourned after receiving no public presentations on non-agenda items.
