The Fox Board of Education, the elected school board that oversees Fox Public Schools, met Dec. 17, 2024, at the superintendent’s office and approved a series of administrative and financial items, concluding the meeting at 3:20 p.m.
Clerk Stacie Fletcher moved to approve the consent agenda, which included the minutes of the Nov. 21, 2024 meeting, the appointment of Destiny Rice as a substitute teacher for the 2024–25 school year, and a district classroom capacity set at 25 students per grade level and site. The motion was seconded by Member Carolyn McConnell and carried with votes from Fletcher, McConnell and President Joey Rodriguez; Vice‑President Otto Young and Member Twanna Owens were absent.
The board then voted to file the activity fund and district financial reports for audit and to file purchase orders and payments for audit. The listed general‑fund purchase orders were numbered 175–182; payroll P.O. numbers were 50000–50042; general‑fund payments 355–499; building‑fund payments 67–76; and municipal tax levy P.O.s 25007–25008. Those motions were moved and seconded by board members and passed with the same vote pattern.
President Joey Rodriguez moved to approve a $1,500.00 take‑home extra‑duty stipend and warrant to Lauren Kilcrease for additional required extra care provided to a special‑needs student; Clerk Stacie Fletcher seconded the motion, which passed unanimously among attending board members.

A motion to pay Lacey Lockwood $32.33 per trip for each trip she has driven was approved, as was a separate motion approving the same per‑trip payment to Jim Smith; warrants were authorized to complete those payments. Motions were moved and seconded by board members and carried with Fletcher, McConnell and Rodriguez voting aye.
