Board approves series of routine purchases, contracts and personnel actions
Summary
At its regular meeting the Bangor School Board approved blacktop repairs, technology purchases (PC lab, 30 Chromebooks, four food-service computers), purchase of a used 2023 bus for $78,100, insurance renewals ($124,006), confidential contracts/compensation rollovers, the district administrator contract, and the hire of Amanda Boswell as building custodian (effective 06/16/2025).
The Bangor School Board approved a package of routine expenditures, contracts and personnel actions during its meeting.
Facilities staff described the need to repair and seal the main drive and the area west of the elementary school; the board approved the recommended vendor and funding from 2024–25 end-of-year funds. The board also approved purchasing replacements and upgrades for classroom and operational technology: a 27-unit business education PC lab to replace aging machines, 30 floating Chromebooks reported at $9,056.10, and four food-service computers; all purchases were to be funded from end-of-year 2024–25 funds.
Transportation staff requested purchase of a used 2023 International bus from Viroqua for $78,100; the board approved the purchase and noted the district intends to operate with 10 regular buses (down from 11) for fleet-management reasons. The board approved insurance renewals through the insurance center (CIC) for an annual cost reported as $124,006 for 2025–26; administrators said worker’s-comp and added square footage drove cost increases.
Following closed-session review, the board approved rolling-forward confidential contracts and compensation adjustments (roughly 2.95% in line with other employees) and approved the district administrator contract and compensation as discussed in closed session. The board also approved hiring Amanda Boswell as a building custodian effective June 16, 2025.
All motions related to these items passed by voice vote. Several board members commented that the expenditures were necessary maintenance and routine replacements after reviewing bids and vendor proposals.
