Platte County School District #1 approves hires, donations, policy changes and facilities purchases
Summary
The board approved personnel hires (drama lead, basketball aide), a $28,000 Libby PTO playground donation, multiple smaller donations, second-and-final policy readings, several policy repeals and revisions, purchase of two RTU HVAC units for Glendale and a special education contract with the new BOCES.
At its December meeting Platte County School District #1's board approved a package of routine operational actions including personnel hires, donor-funded projects, policy actions and facilities purchases.
Personnel: Trustees approved the personnel report, which included the hiring of Tara Vertag as middle school drama lead and Gary Murphy as a boys basketball coaching aide. The motion to approve hires, resignations and terminations passed by voice vote.
Donations and programs: The board approved multiple donations: a $28,000 donation from the Libby PTO for playground equipment (part of a $48,000 total gift), a $2,500 donation from the Wheatland High School booster club to the football activity fund, and a $5,000 donation from Basin Electric Power Co-op, Laramie River, to the Wheatland High School Close-Up program. Representatives from the Libby PTO attended for that item.
Facilities and contracts: Trustees approved playground equipment purchases (parts a and b) and authorized the purchase of two rooftop RTU HVAC air handlers for the Glendale wing; board discussion indicated the units will serve the library/adjacent wing and work is expected to start in summer. The board also approved a special education contract with the district's new BOCES.
Policies: On second-and-final readings trustees approved multiple policies including IIBG (employee acceptable use of technology) and JP (student acceptable use/internet safety), and approved CH-series policies. The board also approved repeals of a list of legacy policies (first and final reading) and approved a package of policy revisions on the first of two readings (items to return next month).
Votes: Most actions passed by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn passed by voice vote.
The transcript records the motions, sponsors and that votes were taken by voice or hand-raise but does not provide individual roll-call vote records; procurement and contract items referenced vendors and timing but did not include contract documents in the spoken record.
