Board approves change orders, contracts and personnel actions; food-service prices to rise for adults
Summary
The Buchanan County Public Schools board approved a credit change order to the building package, a greenhouse contract, a three-year AEP lighting contract, multiple personnel hires and ratified phone votes for equipment purchases; the board also approved an adult food-service price increase (adult lunch to about $5; adult breakfast up to $3).
The Buchanan County Public Schools board voted on a series of routine and project-related measures, approving multiple contracts, change orders, personnel actions and a recommended adult food-service price increase.
After reconvening from closed session, the board approved change order number 7 to the building package, described in the meeting as a credit of less than $139,000. The board also approved a greenhouse construction quote under $133,000 and voted to install eight LED lights at Twin Valley Elementary through a three-year contract with AEP.
The board ratified earlier poll and phone votes appointing athletics staff, including Dan Perillo and Anna Compton as girls head/assistant basketball coaches and Ian Miller as boys varsity basketball coach. Members also ratified a phone vote to purchase maintenance equipment for the new school — the meeting referenced a lift at approximately $53,000 and an excavator at approximately $58,000 — and approved a motion to purchase those items.
Personnel committee recommendations to hire listed candidates were accepted. The board approved contracts for related services (speech, services for deaf and hard-of-hearing, occupational therapy, physical therapy and psychological services) and adopted a resolution to consolidate group health and dental insurance for the district.
On the district’s food-service schedule, the board approved recommended adult-price increases: adult lunch was discussed in the meeting as moving from about $4.85 toward $5, and adult breakfast would increase up to $3. One board member registered opposition to the adult-price change during the discussion, but the motion carried by roll call.
Most motions were moved, seconded and carried by board assent or roll call during the meeting; where specific mover/second names were not captured in the transcript, actions are recorded by motion text and outcome as approved.
