Board approves March minutes, hears finance report and accepts personnel changes

The Scott County School District 1 board opened its meeting, called the session to order and approved the March 16 minutes by a 5-0 vote. The Chair asked for a motion to approve the minutes; a motion was made and seconded and the board recorded a 5-0 vote in favor.

A finance report presented by the district's finance officer (identified in the meeting as Jamie) covered month‑end balances and bond requisitions. Jamie said the Education Fund began the month at $5,216,335 and ended at $55,121,001 and noted operations and debt‑service timing relevant to a June 30 payment schedule. Jamie also reported bond‑related payments: two $20,000 payments to Holcomb Masonry for a softball press box and a $249,448 draw to pay for roofing materials on a high‑school/middle‑school roofing project; the total requisition described was $289,448.52.

Board members asked whether the softball field bill had been paid; Jamie said a remaining invoice of around $4,500 was on his desk and expected to wrap up soon. When asked about the roof, Jamie said the roofing work is "basically" complete.

Under personnel, the board was presented with multiple items including resignations (Rebecca Marquand, bus driver and custodian; Mela Holland, cook; and Kelsey Johnson, elementary instructional assistant, effective May 22), hires (Jenna White, daytime custodian, effective April 9; Joe Hutt, part‑time cook, effective April 13) and a retirement (Faye Jewel, elementary cook, effective May 26). The board moved to accept all personnel items together; the motion was seconded and taken as approved by assent (the transcript does not record a numerical tally).

The meeting then moved on to superintendent reports and other agenda items.
