Board approves standard policies and agreements, amends interlocal recreation agreement
Summary
Trustees approved the Conflict of Interest Policy (BBD), a facility-usage agreement, an amended interlocal recreation agreement (with master-key provisions removed), the student checkout policy (FJ) and travel requests; the education-materials committee member-at-large seat was filled by coin flip (Tiara Occere).
The Morgan County School District Board approved several action items during the meeting, including policy adoptions, interlocal agreements and committee appointments.
Key votes and outcomes:
- Conflict of Interest Policy BBD: Superintendent recommended adoption; motion made and seconded; the board approved the policy by voice vote.
- Facility Usage Agreement: The board moved to approve the agreement as presented and approved it by voice vote after brief review.
- Interlocal Recreation Agreement with County: Business Administrator Scott reviewed edits (restroom access clarifications, aligning hourly rates to county-listed $10/hour for fields, delineation of billable fields and weekday custodial hours changed from 8 p.m. to 7 p.m.). A trustee moved to amend the agreement to strike Roman numeral 11 items c, d, e and f (removing provisions about issuing master keys to county personnel); the amendment passed and the board then approved the interlocal recreation agreement as amended.
- Education Materials Review Committee: Two applicants were considered for the member-at-large seat; the student board member flipped a coin and selected Tiara Occere as the member-at-large. The board approved the committee roster for 2024-25.
- Student Checkout During School Hours Policy (FJ): Trustees debated the merits and legal concerns of requiring photo ID for checkout; despite reservations from some members, the board approved policy FJ by voice vote with at least one recorded opposition.
- Travel Requests: The board approved travel requests for the girls’ basketball team and the drill team after confirming required parent questionnaires and forms.
Additional items: The business administrator presented the district’s annual fraud-risk assessment (no board action required), and the board accepted finance and capital updates.
What happens next: The interlocal agreement will be executed with the county reflecting the agreed edits; staff will implement the approved policies and return routine progress reports as needed.
