Board approves facility lease with Tiger Pride Foundation, audit contract and student handbook updates
Summary
The Pawnee City board approved a $3,500 facility lease with the Tiger Pride Foundation (payable over five months), a three‑year independent audit contract, and updates to student handbooks and several policies; votes were unanimous with one member absent.
At its meeting the Pawnee City Board of Education approved a package of routine but consequential items, including a facilities lease with the Tiger Pride Foundation, a three‑year contract for independent audits and updates to student handbooks and district policies.
The board voted to approve a facilities lease with the Tiger Pride Foundation for the 2025–26 school year at the same rate as the prior year, $3,500 to be paid over five months, and noted a separate wrestling facility fee of $1,000. The motion carried after members discussed verifying the rate once the new agreement was available.
The board also approved a three‑year proposal from Julie Baumann, CPA, to conduct the district's independent audits after the previous auditor notified the district of termination. Administrators said Baumann's terms appeared reasonable and that finding a replacement auditor in the current market could be difficult.
Members approved updates to the elementary and secondary student handbooks reflecting date and minor language changes and to align bereavement days with the negotiated agreement. The board approved several policies brought forward by the policy committee and adopted a KSB superintendent evaluation instrument as part of board policy 40‑57.
All motions were carried by vote; an absent member was noted on multiple recorded votes. The items approved will be reflected in upcoming financial and administrative documents.
