Sto‑Rox SD board approves consent agenda, personnel hires and union MOU; tables bank‑signer change
Summary
By unanimous roll call (6‑0) the board approved multiple consent and operations bundles, ratified personnel hires including the dean of students, authorized FMLA for one employee and approved an MOU on sick‑leave increments; the board tabled a proposed change to bank signers.
The Sto‑Rox School District board approved a sequence of bundled agenda items and personnel actions during the meeting.
On a roll‑call vote, the board approved agenda items A1–B7 (motion passed 6–0). The bundle included routine business such as ratifying payment of general fund bills, membership dues, and a variety of donations and facility requests listed on the agenda. The board then voted to table item B8 (a proposed confirmation of approved bank signers and removal of a signer) by the same 6–0 margin.
The board later approved grouped operations items C1–F8 (6–0) and then considered personnel items. The personnel slate under item G1 carried following an objection and a second; the board congratulated newly approved staff listed on the agenda (named in the meeting as Amy Connolly, Tayla Culberson, Daniel Denlinger and others). The board separately approved hiring motions for the dean of students (Daniel Denlinger) and other recommended hires. A motion approving FMLA for employee #1776 from Dec. 11 to Jan. 12 passed by roll call, and the board approved a memorandum of understanding with the Sto‑Rox Education Association (PSEA/NEA) regarding use of sick‑leave day increments for the 2025–26 year.
The agenda included numerous operational details that passed as part of bundles: AIU joint purchasing participation, an NFPA fire inspection authorization not to exceed $1,000, approval of donations including $2,000 worth of musical instruments for the band program and STEM donation sets from Thermo Fisher, and authorization to pursue bonding for certain positions by Gallagher Insurance at a per‑individual cost not to exceed $150. Where dates or dollar amounts were unclear in the discussion, staff indicated those details would be finalized or appear on future agendas.
Votes were recorded in roll call form with Directors Cooper, Culbert, Gonyea, Hunter Ryu, Meyers and Roberts voting yes when tallies were read.
