Board extends superintendent contract, approves appointments and two mental-health contracts
Summary
The board approved a one-year superintendent contract extension through June 30, 2027, reappointed two members to the PCPR board, and approved contracts with two mental-health providers funded through a Department of Education grant; district-level allocations remain pending.
The Platte County School District #1 board took several personnel and contract actions during the meeting.
Superintendent contract extension: Trustees approved a one-year extension of the superintendent’s contract, extending the term through June 30, 2027. The superintendent was not named in the transcript; trustees recorded support for the extension by voice vote.
Appointments: The board voted to reappoint Josh Sandlin and Terry Evans to expiring positions on the PCPR board; appointees were present and trustees noted the time commitment (monthly meetings) and financial oversight responsibilities associated with the role.
Mental-health services contracts: The board approved two 18-month contracts for school-based mental-health services—one with Specialty Counseling and one with YOMH Counseling. Administrators said those contracts are funded in part by a Department of Education grant; staff described the grant timeline and said district reimbursement amounts are pending. In discussion staff estimated the district’s share of services could be roughly $40,000 (district estimate) while also stating a statewide allocation figure described in the meeting as "about $5,000,000 for 1 year and $5,000,000 for the next year"; staff emphasized final dollar amounts at the district level remain to be confirmed when the Department of Education supplies final allocations.
Votes and next steps: All motions on these items passed by voice vote with no roll-call tallies provided in the transcript. Staff will move forward to implement the contracts and notify principals about local allocation decisions.
