Board approves consent agenda, IDEA local plan, election procedures and manual revisions; moves to closed session
Summary
In one meeting the board approved a consent agenda (bills of $12,427,518.12 and contingency to bid window replacement), adopted an IDEA local plan update, approved election procedures for the April 7, 2026 election, updated the Board manual, and voted to enter closed session under Missouri statute 610.021.
The ISE Board of Education approved a package of routine but substantive items in Tuesday’s meeting, including the consent agenda, procedural election documents, updates to the special-education compliance plan, and manual revisions. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter closed session under Missouri statute section 610.021.
Consent agenda and finance: the board approved bills totaling $12,427,518.12; staff attributed the year-to-year increase to election costs, bond planning and purchases such as a tractor, plows and a mower. The consent agenda also included authorization to let bids to replace original/plexiglass windows at 3 Trails Elementary School, contingent on bond passage.
Election procedures: the board approved the Board of Election Education Election Guidelines and Procedures required before candidate filing. The superintendent noted the document incorporated updates from the Missouri School Boards' Association.
IDEA local plan: the board adopted the local plan for compliance and assurance statements under IDEA Part B, section 6.13. Two minor updates were highlighted: private agency language was expanded to include adjacent states, and the Young Child with a Developmental Delay (YCDD) age eligibility extended through age 7 (from age 6).
Board manual: staff and Madeline, the district’s attorney with EGS, reviewed a minor change (g.3.25 b) and confirmed that mileage reimbursement rates are available in the employee handbook; the board approved the manual revisions by voice vote.
Closed session: the board approved a motion to adjourn into closed session pursuant to Missouri statute 610.021 with cited subparagraphs for personnel, legal matters, real estate and students; a roll-call was conducted with recorded affirmative responses from multiple members in the transcript.
What happens next: items approved by voice vote will proceed to implementation steps (bidding, procurement, paperwork for IDEA compliance documentation), and the board proceeded to closed session for matters identified under the cited statute.
