The Cedar Rapids Community School District board took several formal actions during its Dec. 8 meeting.
Personnel amendment: The board approved a motion to remove the name of Jeff Frost from the personnel report after the resignation of Dr. Mara Hobson left the Area 1 chief of schools position in transition. The motion was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.
Consent agenda: With the personnel amendment included, the board approved the consent agenda by roll call. Directors recorded "Aye" during the roll call: Director Tubinski, Director Burns, Vice President Drzywinski, Director Zimmerman, Director Byers, Director Garlock, and President Uman.
FY25 audit: The board moved and approved the annual comprehensive financial report (FY25 audit) after RSM presented an unmodified opinion and noted GASB Statement No. 101 implementation and one immaterial timing item.
School Budget Review Committee request: The board approved a request for additional allowable growth/on-time funding to account for increased enrollment, unfunded English learner costs and open‑enrollment students not previously included; motion moved and passed by voice vote.
Conference delegates: The board approved attendance by named directors at the District Management Group Summit in February and the Consortium of State School Boards Associations conference in March; motion passed.
Item pulled for comment: Director Burns pulled agenda item 24 (an enrollment marketing agreement with Informatics, ~ $47,500) for comment and clarified the funding source is MSAP (Magnet School Assistance Program) set‑aside funds; the board proceeded to approve the consent agenda with the amendment.
No roll-call record for the FY25 audit vote and other motions beyond the consent agenda roll call was recorded in the transcript.
