Scott County School District 2 board approves calendar, appropriations and routine policy updates; recognizes undefeated youth football team
Summary
Trustees approved the 2026–27 school calendar, recommended additional appropriations to the education operations fund, approved routine Neola policy updates, gave permission to post for the school board attorney and recognized the undefeated fifth/sixth-grade Warriors football team.
The Scott County School District 2 Board of Trustees approved several routine items on the agenda and recognized community visitors during the meeting.
Early in the meeting the board held an additional appropriations hearing; Superintendent Dr. Nycomb explained the need to align spending authority with the 2025 budget and Department of Local Government Finance requirements. A visitor, Woody Morgan, asked whether materials from prior hearings and the appropriations packet were available on the district website; board members said material had been displayed at the prior hearing though the visitor said he could not find it online.
The board approved the consent agenda and then voted to accept five Neola policy updates (first/second readings) as a group; the transcript records that vote as 5–0. Trustees then approved a resolution recommending additional appropriations to the education operations fund; the motion passed with an on-record affirmative count of 7 as stated during the meeting.
The board discussed and approved the 2026–27 school calendar. Members noted the calendar keeps similar structure to prior years, retains synchronous e-learning and snow-day approaches, and schedules graduation to avoid the non-Memorial weekend in 2027; the calendar will be posted to the district website.
The board also granted permission to post the request for proposals/position for the 2026 school board attorney and thanked Coach Brent Paris and the undefeated fifth- and sixth-grade Warriors football team for their season. Coach Paris praised the players, coaches and parents and encouraged community support at upcoming games.
On procedural items where the transcript did not name the mover, the minutes show the motion was made and seconded and approved by voice vote. Where the transcript recorded a numeric roll-call result, that number is reported above; when the record shows only "all in favor," the board's approval is described as a voice vote in this report.
