Savannah R-III Board approves general journal, bus routes and staff wellness plan
Summary
The Savannah R-III Board of Education unanimously approved routine business: the general journal, the first reading and approval of 2025–26 bus routes (with the goal of keeping ride times near one hour), a staff wellness plan, and a copier contract moved to and passed on the consent agenda.
At its regular meeting, the Savannah R-III Board of Education approved a set of routine business items, voting unanimously to accept the general journal, adopt bus routes for 2025–26 as presented, and approve a staff wellness plan.
A presenter reviewed the general journal and fiscal year-to-date finances, noting revenues are approximately in line with expenditures. The presenter reported a working balance in bank and investments (excluding trustee accounts) at about $12 million and said student and staff technology lease debt matures in 2026; staff are in talks with Raymond James about a potential lease-purchase for equipment. The board moved to accept the general journal and approved it without objection.
The board held a first reading of next year’s bus routes; staff said routes are still being refined with a target of keeping individual route times near one hour and that routes will be updated as needed through the year. The board approved the routes as presented.
The staff wellness plan — described as a shift from screening to preventive appointments — was presented and approved by unanimous vote. Earlier in the meeting, the board approved the consent agenda, which included moving the copier contract (action item d) onto the consent agenda and approving it.
The chair recorded each motion as carrying unanimously; no roll-call tallies were read into the record.
