Selah School Board approves consent agenda including out-of-state travel, site work and bus purchases
Summary
The board approved a consent agenda that included human resources actions, a travel request for food services staff to present a scratch-cooking program (expenses paid by the host), site work on property adjacent to the high school, and the recording of two bus purchases totaling about $355,000 from the transportation vehicle fund; the city is covering most of the cost for a new traffic signal with a district match around $75,000.
The Selah School District board approved its consent agenda, which included routine human-resources actions, first readings of several policies, an out-of-state travel request for food services staff, site work related to district property adjacent to the high school and the formal recording of two recently delivered buses.
Chair moved to approve the consent agenda; the motion was seconded and the board approved the items by voice vote.
District staff noted that Lori Ozanich will travel to Las Vegas to present the district’s scratch-cooking and farm-to-table program and that the host organization is covering expenses for that presentation. A staff member also confirmed that two buses purchased earlier have now arrived and the purchase was recorded at roughly $355,000, paid from the transportation vehicle fund funded by state depreciation payments for district buses.
On facility matters, staff described cleanup and site work on property adjacent to the high school intended to improve appearance; they cautioned the site is not presently designed for parking due to stormwater and structural issues, though it could be used for equipment storage if needed. Staff also updated the board that concrete and sidewalk work is underway at the Lancaster/McGonigal/Goodlander intersection to support a new traffic signal. "The city is covering the majority of the cost of that traffic light," a staff member said, adding the district's match is about $75,000.
The board recorded the consent agenda approval by voice vote; the transcript documents the motion, second and an affirmative voice vote but does not list individual tallies.
