Summary
At its Sept. 24 meeting the Clear Creek Amana Community School District board approved a slate of committee appointments and contracts, a $6,738.57 construction change order and an SBRC request for $1,853,775.18 to cover a special‑education deficit; most actions passed by voice vote with no recorded tallies.
The Clear Creek Amana Community School District board on Sept. 24 approved a series of committee appointments, contracts and budget filings, including a request to the School Budget Review Committee (SBRC) for $1,853,775.18 to address the district's special‑education deficit.
The board accepted a consulting agreement with John Spear to facilitate the facilities master‑planning committee and approved the Facilities Master Planning Committee roster as submitted. It re‑approved the Reconsideration Committee, approved the Teacher Quality Committee and approved the School Improvement Advisory Committee (SIAC) as submitted.
Board members also approved out‑of‑state travel for the FFA to attend the FFA National Convention and approved change order No. 1 for the baseball/softball phase‑2 work in the amount of $6,738.57. The board authorized engagement of the France Law Group related to a vendor data breach affecting district systems and approved naming a district access road “West 3rd Street” per the city’s recommendation. The board accepted the 2024–25 Certified Annual Report and related transportation and special‑education supplements as filed with the Department of Education.
Votes and procedure All action items were moved, seconded and decided by voice vote. The meeting transcript records board members answering “Aye” with no roll‑call tallies or recorded individual votes; where numeric vote counts or named vote records are not specified in the transcript, this article notes outcomes as approved without inventing individual tallies.
Why it matters Approvals on committees and the consultant agreement move forward the district’s facilities master plan work and related construction projects. The SBRC request for $1,853,775.18 addresses a current special‑education deficit and, if approved by SBRC, will provide modified allowable growth and supplemental aid to cover prior‑year special‑education costs. Engagement of outside counsel reflects the district’s response to a recently publicized vendor data breach and potential related legal claims.
What’s next Several items will see follow‑up reporting: the consultant will facilitate master‑planning meetings; the finance director will present solvency and forecasting details at an upcoming work session; and the district will pursue SBRC processes for the special‑education funding request.
