The Fremont City Schools Board unanimously approved routine business and financial items during its late-January meeting, then moved into executive session.
The board voted to approve minutes from the organizational and regular meetings held Jan. 12 after a motion by Missus Bloom and second by Miss Lewis.

The treasurer briefed the board on administrative matters including W-2 distribution, an impending fiscal 2024 audit, seasonal cash-flow timing tied to real estate collections, a roughly 2% increase in salaries year-to-date, and a 12% rise in electricity costs.
