Summary
The Cullman County Schools Board approved multiple consent agenda items — personnel, finances, transportation, out-of-state trips and maintenance — voted to elect nominated officers for the board, and authorized conference participation paid in part by local associations.
Cullman County Schools’ board voted to approve a slate of routine consent items and to elect board officers during its meeting (date not specified). The motions covered minutes, personnel and financial items, maintenance work at Fairview, transportation approvals and several conference and out-of-state travel requests; all motions were moved, seconded and approved.
The board approved the October 16 minutes and personnel items 2–8, which the superintendent described as primarily routine actions and returning retirees not present for recognition. Financial items 15 and 16 were approved as presented.
On facilities, the board approved maintenance item 17 concerning roof damage at Fairview. Superintendent (Speaker 2) said the insurance company is paying to reshingle the damaged backside of the Fairview roof and that the district elected to resurface the entire roof because it was needed; “we're paying being reimbursed for a big portion of this,” the superintendent said. The motion to proceed with repairs passed.
The board also approved transportation item 18 and the out-of-state field trips listed under item 19. The Cullman County Education Show Association’s conference request (item 20) was approved; the superintendent noted the association is paying for substitutes for attendees. Item 21, a similar request for Cullman County education support professionals (one certified, one uncertified), was approved with the organization covering substitute costs.
During the organizational portion of the meeting (item 22), the superintendent reported nominations made during the work session to elect Wayne as board president and Shane as vice president; the board voted to approve those nominations.
