Summary
The Vermillion School District board approved consent agenda items (minutes, hires, volunteers, surplus), authorized facility use for a University of South Dakota Monster Bash, and approved a Johnson Controls HVAC service agreement that adds elementary coverage; approvals were by omnibus motion and voice vote.
The Vermillion School District 13-1 board approved a package of routine and contract items at its meeting, including personnel actions, facility use for a student event and a new service agreement for building systems.
The consent agenda — which included approval of Sept. 8 minutes, new hires (Nash Hayes; Abigail Schneider; Shelby Wolf; Stephanie Lind; and returning employee Chris White), resignations, open enrollments and bills — passed on a motion and voice vote. The board also approved three early-graduation petitions and a slate of adult volunteers and interns for classroom and special-program roles.
Under new business, the board approved a building-use agreement submitted by the USD Native American group for the Monster Bash on Oct. 28 and directed staff to complete facilities paperwork. Administrators indicated facilities would be provided at no charge if the paperwork is completed as described.
The board also approved a Johnson Controls service agreement that expands HVAC monitoring and service to include the elementary building this year. Staff said the district previously benefited from warranty coverage and that the one-year service agreement (with an approximate historical elementary cost referenced around $11,000 for management after warranty) will allow the district to evaluate performance and potentially pursue a broader bid in the future.
All motions reported in the meeting were carried by voice vote; the transcript records unanimous 'aye' responses and does not record a roll-call tally. The board adjourned at 7:49 p.m.
