Board approves donations, personnel actions, monthly financials and a late invoice for a nonpublic‑school vendor
Summary
The Fremont City Schools board approved donations, multiple personnel items (resignations, hires, supplemental contracts), first-month financials noting ESSER funds are spent down, and a then‑and‑now invoice for Edmentum tied to Bishop Huffman nonpublic funds; motions passed by roll‑call votes.
The Fremont City Schools Board of Education approved routine consent items and financial matters, including donations, personnel actions, monthly financials and a walk‑on invoice for a nonpublic‑school vendor.
Donations from Casa Fiesta, El Aguela Bakery and Skorda were presented and approved unanimously after a motion by Missus Bloom and a second by Miss Lehman.
The board accepted resignations (Suzanne Behr, Carolyn Rellinger and CJ Swain), approved returning certified substitutes and hired new staff including Michelle Atullo (secretarial split position) and Autumn Balmer (custodial at Ross High). Supplemental contracts and status changes were also approved as presented.
The treasurer reported first‑month financials and highlighted that ESSER funds have been fully spent down; the district expects an increase in salary/benefit costs as grant funding ends. The treasurer also noted a state‑auditor fraud form and shared a fraud awareness recording for board completion.
A walk‑on then‑and‑now invoice from Edmentum for Bishop Huffman’s nonpublic program arrived late because of staff turnover and fiscal‑year timing; because Fremont City Schools serves as fiscal agent for certain state and federal funds for that program, the board approved reopening the requisition and payment. Board members discussed improving invoice routing (asking vendors to CC payables at fremontcityschools.net) to prevent similar lapses.
Motions and roll‑call votes: minutes (10/07/2024) were approved (motion by Miss Lewis; second by Mister Nally). Items 2–7 (personnel) were approved (motion by Missus Bloom; second by Mister Nally). Item 8 (financials) was approved (motion by Missus Bloom; second by Miss Lewis). Item 9 (then‑and‑now invoice for Edmentum) was approved (motion by Mister Nally; second by Miss Layman). All votes recorded in the transcript were affirmative.
