Board approves long consent agenda including weapon-detection purchase and 4% pay increase
Summary
The Hardin County Board of Education approved a lengthy consent agenda by voice vote, which included approval to purchase and install weapon-detection systems for high schools, a Raptor visitor-management system, a 4% cost-of-living raise for certified and classified staff, roofing and tennis-court construction BG1s, and an interim construction manager contract for North Park Elementary.
The Hardin County Board of Education approved a comprehensive consent agenda that bundled personnel, procurement and construction approvals for the upcoming school year.
During the consent-agenda review the presiding member summarized highlights: changes to start and end times for all schools next year; approval to purchase and install weapon-detection systems to be housed in high schools; purchase of a Raptor visitor-management system for all campuses; a 4 percent cost-of-living adjustment for certified degreed employees and classified staff (including administrative and extracurricular positions); approval of BG1 forms for roofing projects at John Hardin and Lakewood elementary schools and for North Hardin Tennis Court project; and preliminary approval of an early site package for the EC3 expansion and an interim construction manager contract with Weir for the new North Park Elementary project (SEG 1666–1699).
A motion to approve the consent agenda was moved (SEG 1702) and seconded (SEG 1703); the board approved the package by voice vote and the chair announced the motion carried (SEG 1706–1710). The transcript does not provide a roll-call tally or individual board member votes for these items.
Other items included approval of summer meals and designated feeding sites, several BG1 submissions, and human-resources actions such as approval of two additional classified social worker positions and assistant-coach appointments for middle-school sports with large participation (SEG 1684–1697). The board’s action clears the way for these projects and personnel changes to proceed under administrative oversight and existing procurement processes.
The meeting recorded no separate roll-call votes for individual consent items; the board treated the collection as a single motion and approved it on a voice vote.
