Loading...
Summary
The board approved payroll and expense vouchers, multiple certified and classified hires, resignations and donations, designated use of small gifts, continued Wells Fargo for auxiliary accounts, adopted a classified salary adjustment to meet minimum-wage changes, and approved hearing officers before adjourning.
At the meeting the Douglas Unified School District governing board approved a slate of routine motions in a consent agenda and individual action items.
Consent-agenda votes: The board approved payroll and expense vouchers, certified and classified hires, and classified resignations and retirements. The board also approved student observers, an athletic hire (Paul Huber Middle School girls’ soccer assistant coach), and ratified several volunteer approvals.
Personnel and gifts: The board accepted several resignations and one retirement effective at the end of the semester. It approved three cash and in-kind donations (approximately $1,885.78 to DHS boys basketball, a $725 CPR training kit for Ferris Elementary, and multiple DonorsChoose items for elementary classrooms) and authorized Superintendent Samaniego to determine the use of three small donated items (a utility wagon, a school-nurse supply kit and a Yeti tumbler).
Salary schedule and bank services: Trustees approved a revision to the classified salary schedule for fiscal 2025–26 to reflect a state minimum-wage increase (the district adjusted the first category to $15.15 for the remainder of the fiscal year). The board also approved continuing Wells Fargo for district auxiliary and revolving fund accounts; board members discussed that the district’s three credit cards share a combined limit of about $10,000, which staff said creates complications for larger travel bookings.
Hearing officers and adjournment: The board approved the district’s list of hearing officers per state requirements and adjourned the meeting. Most motions were moved and seconded and approved by roll call; no motions failed during the meeting.
