Board approves fence contract, passes Policy Code 3000 and accepts personnel report with recusal
Summary
The board approved a contract adding fencing and related work to secure district equipment, passed Policy Code 3000 on second read and approved the personnel report; one board member recused from the personnel vote because a spouse is listed on the report.
The Asheville City Schools Board voted on several action items after public comment.
Contract: The board considered an increase to a facilities contract to place a fence in the central office upper parking lot to secure equipment previously located at 441 Haywood Road. Board members discussed neighborhood impact, parking loss and fence type; facilities staff said the planned installation is chain link. The contract total was described as $130,000 (an originally budgeted $87,000 plus an additional $39,773.50); after discussion the motion to approve the contract carried on a voice vote.
Policy Code 3000: The board considered Policy Code 3000 on second read. One board member asked for inclusion or links to the cited theory of action and the district's "Portrait of a Scholar" and suggested additional teacher review; despite that concern the motion to approve Policy Code 3000 passed on second read.
Personnel report: The personnel report was presented and approved. Chair noted that board member Amy Ray recused herself from that vote because her wife's terms of employment appear on the personnel report. The motion passed with the recusal noted.
The board then heard a superintendent update and adjourned the meeting.
