Board approves contracts, staffing and program changes in unanimous votes
Summary
At its June 9 meeting the Dallas School Board unanimously approved the consent agenda, an exterior painting contract ($197,518), a grade-configuration change, an SB 3 waiver, an assistant superintendent hire, two leaves of absence and a charter contract with Dallas Community Schools.
The Dallas School Board took multiple formal actions on June 9; most motions passed by unanimous voice vote. Key board actions included:
- Consent agenda (minutes of May 12 and staffing report): moved by Rom, seconded by Zach; approved unanimously.
- Exterior painting project (2025): staff recommended awarding the contract to Voll Brothers Inc. for $197,518 (includes a $20,000 contingency for potential dry rot). Motion to approve the award was moved and seconded and passed unanimously.
- Removal of two third-grade classes from Whitworth Elementary (reconfiguration to restore Oakdale and Lyle as K–3): motion moved and seconded; approved unanimously in public board action to remain compliant with state requirements.
- One-year waiver application under Senate Bill 3 to offer personal finance as a junior-level CTE course: board approved the application unanimously after clarifying that current seniors would still be offered an economics option.
- Employment agreement approval: the board approved an employment agreement with Sarah LeRoy to become assistant superintendent; motion moved by Rob, seconded by Ed; approved unanimously.
- Leaves of absence: the board approved a leave for Fernando Lemus Ramirez (wildland firefighting duties) and a one-year leave for Sarah DiMartino (2025–26 school year); motions passed unanimously.
- Contract approval: the board approved the contract with Dallas Community Schools (charter flow-through funding model and special-ed supports were explained by staff); motion passed unanimously.
Several proposals were informational (AI policy first reading, CTE report, financial highlights) and will return for follow-up or additional action as staff bring specifics forward.
