Board approves committee appointments, HVAC completion, iPad purchase and personnel actions
Summary
The Hermosa Valley School District board approved the consent agenda, appointed four Measure HV oversight committee members, accepted HVAC project completion, authorized iPad purchases for assessments, ratified a director of technology contract, and adopted UPK/TK professional experience criteria.
The Hermosa Valley School District board approved a series of routine and business items, including committee appointments, facilities closeout and technology purchases.
Board members approved the consent agenda and then voted to appoint four individuals—Peter Spragg, Thomas Dunbabin, Sasha Hex and Michael Mancuso—to the Measure HV citizens oversight committee to ensure representative membership required for bond oversight.
The board accepted the notice of completion for the Hermosa Valley HVAC replacement project, stating that district staff and the commissioning consultant (RHA) inspected the work and found it complete, enabling staff to begin issuing final payments.
On technology, the board approved the purchase of Apple iPads for K–2 teachers and special education staff to support upcoming DIBELS screening and the Woodcock‑Johnson assessment tool; district staff and technology personnel (Sandra) said iPads are more user‑friendly for young students and required for certain vendor applications and that the DIBELS administration is scheduled for early February.
The board ratified the contract for the district’s new director of technology to provide stable leadership in a critical department. Finally, the board adopted professional experience criteria for teaching UPK/TK (the item described local equivalent experience as two years in TK, kindergarten, licensed preschool lead teaching, or a combination totaling at least two years) and agreed to specify that preschool experience be in licensed programs.
All of the listed items were approved by motion and voice vote; where vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript, the board indicated unanimous consent by 'Aye' responses. No contested votes or formal roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
