Summary
The board approved a set of contracts and agreements including the 4 Brothers LLC sale of the former Daybrook School, a LexisNexis amendment, placement/affiliation agreements with Western Governors University and Grand Canyon University, and a Zonear routing/ZPass agreement; the chair recused himself for an accounts‑payable addendum vote.
At its Feb. 10 meeting, the Monongalia County Board of Education approved multiple contracts and routine business through motions and voice votes.
The superintendent recommended approval of a real‑estate contract with 4 Brothers LLC related to the auctioned former Daybrook School; a board member moved, another seconded and the motion carried by voice vote.
The board also approved an amendment renewing the district’s LexisNexis subscription with additional packages; a placement agreement with Western Governors University (observation placements only); an affiliation agreement with Grand Canyon University (student teaching, internships, practicums); and a Zonear routing agreement adding routing software and ZPass functionality for transportation. During discussion of university agreements, at least one board member expressed concern about the compensation student teachers receive and requested future discussion.
When the accounts‑payable addendum A was presented, the chair recused himself because of a business association with a vendor named in the addendum; the vice president presided for that item and the board approved the addendum by voice vote. The board then approved the consent agenda items (expenditures over $3,000, payroll and the Jan. 27 minutes) and a routine personnel list.
Outcomes were recorded as voice votes; the meeting did not include a roll‑call vote recorded in the public transcript.
