Board discusses water leak, school calendar alignment and staffing; no formal action taken
Summary
Board members discussed a water leak at East Hardy Elementary, child nutrition staffing and certification timelines, concerns about Moorefield facility restrooms and turf, and proposed campus calendar variations; staff will follow up but no policy changes or votes were made.
In the board‑superintendent discussion portion of the meeting, members heard updates and raised concerns about facilities, staffing and calendar alignment but took no binding action.
Sheena (S3) reported a water leak at East Hardy Elementary and said the district has a contractor lined up to excavate and replace a section of pipe suspected to be undersized; the work will be scheduled to occur after student dismissal once paperwork is finalized. S3 said a former maintenance director had selected the existing pipe size and that the contractor work should address persistent pressure and leakage issues.
The board and staff also discussed child nutrition staffing: the district is updating the child nutrition director posting to reflect current state certification requirements and a 240‑day work year; S3 said the current director plans to finish in March and the goal is to hire a replacement who can train before the outgoing director leaves. Members emphasized the need to allow enough days for training and operations over the summer.
Facilities conversation included concerns about proposed turf at Moorefield Elementary athletic facilities and the adequacy of restroom plumbing (currently a single toilet in the facility). Members asked staff to pursue options and pricing for flooring and to explore adding a second fixture to avoid single‑toilet constraints.
Members raised calendar coordination issues after campuses proposed individual calendars: the board discussed the risk of differing calendars across nearby jurisdictions and the transportation and attendance impacts for students enrolled in regional vocational programs. Staff said campuses are developing calendars that will be brought forward for board consideration.
Ending: The board asked staff to return with clarified timelines, cost estimates where appropriate, and proposed calendar options; no formal votes were taken during this discussion.
