Summary
The WARREN CO. R-III Board approved the consent agenda, raised and approved base substitute pay to $130/day effective 01/01/2026, adopted course guides for 2026–27, approved the annual audit, and approved a $4,000 change order for water‑tower access.
At the meeting the WARREN CO. R-III Board recorded and approved multiple formal actions by voice vote.
Key outcomes: - Consent agenda: Approved by motion and voice vote. - Substitute teacher pay: Motion to set base substitute pay at $130 per day, effective Jan. 1, 2026, was moved by Caroline, seconded by Brian and approved by voice vote. Finance estimated a modest budget impact (a ballpark of about $10,000). - Course guides for 2026–27: Board approved a package of course‑guide changes, including consolidating middle‑school ELA from two classes into one (returning to a seven‑period day with advisory) and adding a Wood Tech prerequisite (Wood Tech 1 must be passed before Wood Tech 2). - Annual audit: Approved after administration described two findings and corrective steps; staff said the reporting omission on the fund transfer has been corrected. - Change order: Approved a small change order (about $4,000) to widen district access for the city’s water‑tower during a road expansion project; work paid from local/project funds.
All listed motions were carried by voice vote; no recorded roll‑call tallies were entered in the transcript. The board also scheduled the next regular meeting for Jan. 8, 2026, and a closed session to immediately precede the regular meeting on Jan. 6.
