At its Dec. 15 meeting the Centerville Board of Education approved a set of routine business items, including financial and personnel recommendations, an appointment to a library board and a curriculum purchase.

On consent, the board approved November financial statements and related reports summing to $27,235.08. The superintendent’s recommended personnel actions (hires, leaves and supplemental contracts as listed on the board’s schedules) were moved, seconded and approved on roll call.

The board voted to appoint David Seer to the Washington Center for Public Library Board of Trustees for a four‑year term beginning Jan. 1, 1926 and ending Dec. 31, 2029 (term dates shown in the agenda). Members also approved a final resolution to purchase instructional resources from Vista Higher Learning for grades 6–12 French courses in the amount of $54,769.36.

Policy updates listed on the agenda were approved as presented. The presiding officer then moved the meeting into executive session "pursuant to a higher price code section 1 21.22 g 1" to consider the compensation and employment of a public employee; the board voted by roll call to enter executive session, and indicated no other business would be conducted besides adjournment after the executive session.

Roll-call recordings in the meeting show unanimous affirmative votes (all present members recorded as "Yes") on the recorded motions; the meeting minutes should be consulted for the official roll-call text and vote tallies.
