The Lindbergh Board of Education approved several actions at its Nov. 20 meeting, including a construction manager‑at‑risk contract, a resolution recognizing American Education Week and standard consent items.
On a procedural motion early in the meeting the board approved the agenda; Rachel moved and Andy seconded and the motion passed 6‑0. Later, the board approved an American Education Week resolution; Rachel moved, Jen seconded and the board voted 6‑0 in favor. Board members noted they were wearing school T‑shirts in honor of the observance.
The consent agenda for the meeting was moved by Rachel and seconded by Christie; the motion passed with a 5‑0 vote and one board member indicated they would abstain from that consent block. The minutes packet included an acknowledgement of an anonymous monetary gift to the district.
An individual action item approved by the board was a construction manager‑at‑risk (CMAR) contract with BSI covering a package of smaller projects (work at Sappington and Concord and a set of miscellaneous finishing projects including some high school work). Joelle explained this step makes the contract official and that the district will return with bids and pricing; because the contract exceeds $50,000 it was brought as a separate item. Megan moved the CMAR motion, Rachel seconded, and the board voted 6‑0 to approve the contract.
The meeting included other routine items listed as informational, including K–12 curriculum first readings and a slate of policy first readings; those items will return for future approval. The meeting adjourned after a final motion by Rachel, seconded by Andy, that carried 6‑0.
