Committee names Chris chair, agrees to hold facilities meetings at 1:00 p.m.
Summary
The Keystone Central SD Facilities Committee nominated and accepted Chris as chair and agreed the committee chair will set future meeting times at 1:00 p.m. to reduce staff overtime and improve participation.
The Keystone Central School District Facilities Committee opened its Jan. 27 meeting by nominating and accepting Chris as committee chair, a change the committee recorded after confirming board policy prevents the board president from chairing committees. "So you accept the chair," the committee member asked; Chris replied, "Yep," and took the role.
The committee then discussed whether to keep evening start times. Staff described overtime and operational challenges for maintenance personnel who work daytime schedules; Sam, the district facilities lead, said earlier start times reduce overtime for maintenance and administrative staff. Dr. Redmond and Chair Chris agreed the committee chair can set meeting times and directed calendar staff to list future facilities meetings at 1:00 p.m. to align with staff schedules. "Any earlier in the day that we can make it is beneficial to me and Brandy," Sam said, describing the crew's hours and overtime concerns.
Members framed the change as a staff‑centric decision intended to allow more efficient use of staff time while preserving public access via recorded meetings. The committee did not record a formal board vote on the chair nomination or the time change in the transcript; both were accepted on the record during the meeting. The committee adjourned at about 7:25 p.m.
