Board approves consent agenda, donations, bids and two policy readings
Summary
The board approved routine business including the agenda and minutes, accepted quarterly donations totaling $50, (amounts listed), awarded food service bids, and approved two policy readings, plus voted to call the Nov. 5 school election and adjust write-in reporting rules.
The school board moved through routine business and approved several resolutions and personnel items in a series of voice votes.
The board approved the meeting agenda and later approved minutes for the July 22, 2024 meeting. A quarterly donations resolution (citing Minnesota statutes as read at the meeting) accepted donations of $8,114.03 for April 2024, $11,378.87 for May 2024, and $31,550 for June 2024.
The consent agenda — which the board moved to approve — included multiple personnel actions: coach replacements, teacher resignations and retirements (notably Debbie Fiala, 26 years of service, and Connie Sutherland, 30 years of service) and several replacement hires for Big Fork positions.
Pursuant to state procurement rules, the board approved food-service vendors recommended in bids: Sandstrom for dairy, Hanigold for bread, and Copper Lakes as the primary food provider (each was the only bidder in its category). The board also approved a resolution calling the district general election for Nov. 5 for three school board seats and adopted a resolution to limit reporting of trivial write-in votes unless a write-in total exceeds the lowest actual candidate.
On policy, the board approved the second reading of policy 302 (superintendent) with an updated organizational chart and approved policy 507.5 regarding school resource officers after committee review. These motions were passed by voice vote.
All votes reported in the meeting were voice votes; the meeting transcript records affirmative “aye” responses and no recorded dissent on these items.
