Auburndale board approves facilities and personnel measures; several routine motions carried
Summary
The Auburndale School District board approved a slate of facility and personnel items — including tournament approvals, gym and parking resurfacing, trailer and referendum bids, a full-time custodian position and the 2026–27 Delta dental plan — and adopted a new emergency school-closing policy.
The Auburndale School District board on its March meeting carried a series of routine motions approving facility contracts, event permits and staffing changes, and adopted a new emergency school-closing policy.
During the action-items portion of the meeting, the board approved the softball tournament scheduled for March 26–27 and the baseball tournament March 31–April 1. The board also voted to award the elementary gym resurfacing work and parking-lot resurfacing bids, with funds for the gym project to come from Fund 46. A motion to purchase a district trailer passed after discussion of departmental needs and financing from sold district assets.
The board approved referendum-related construction bids and set aside contingency funds to cover potential overruns. Trustees approved the Delta dental insurance plan for 2026–27 and added a full-time custodian position to support increased summer construction and building maintenance needs. Most motions were moved and seconded during the meeting and recorded in the minutes as carried.
Chair (S1) opened each action item and Committee member (S5) or Committee member (S16) moved or seconded several motions. The transcript records the outcomes as “motion carried” but does not include a full roll-call tally for the routine votes recorded during the action-items segment.
The board also completed a second reading and approved a new emergency school-closing policy (7.23.13) adapted from WASB guidance. The policy clarifies that practices or events held after a day when school is closed are optional and that students should not be penalized for missing optional activities due to weather-related closures.
Next steps: the board scheduled follow-ups on referendum construction timelines, confirmed procurement details with recommended contractors, and will reconvene in closed session for the district administrator evaluation as announced at the meeting.
