Summary

At its Feb. 9 meeting the Vermillion School Board approved the consent agenda (minutes, hires, resignations, bills) and approved facility-use arrangements including a fee waiver for Camp Invention and for youth wrestling tournaments (custodial fees to remain). The board also approved volunteers and a staff makeup day in May to address an inclement-weather closure.

The Vermillion School Board approved its consent agenda Feb. 9, which included minutes from Jan. 12, listed resignations and new hires, open enrollment items and bills. Trustees also approved multiple facilities and program items discussed under new business.

Facilities: The board approved a facilities agreement to host Camp Invention at the elementary school; Mindy Whistler requested a fee waiver for the program that had 27 campers last year and hopes to reach 40 this year. The board also discussed and approved facility-use requests from the youth wrestling program (tournaments Feb. 15 and a district-hosting event March 7); administration confirmed custodial staffing and said custodial fees would remain while other fees could be waived.

Personnel and programs: The board approved new hires listed in the packet (including lunch aides and a custodian) and accepted adult volunteer approvals for middle-school basketball and high-school track and a group of USD students assisting in PE and lunch duties. The driver’s education summer program was discussed: Mr. Settles proposes keeping the program with a $300-per-student fee and existing wage structure. The board approved an update to the 2025–26 calendar that adds a staff-only makeup day on May 22 to account for a recent inclement-weather closure.

The consent agenda and grouped motion to accept items A–F passed; trustees noted a clerical correction to a wage figure in the packet (should read $11.85, not $11.20). Custodial fee arrangements for facility waivers were confirmed by administration.
