Pike County School Corp board approves claims, donations, technology purchases and personnel moves
Summary
Trustees approved routine financial items including vouchers, a bank-deposit resolution, donated equipment, summer school plans, technology purchases including Chromebooks, and several personnel resignations and appointments.
At its regular meeting the Pike County School Corp board approved routine financial and operational items, including claims, donations, technology purchases and personnel actions.
Board members approved vouchers numbered in the packet (21784–21921) and reviewed bank statements and fund reports; the board also approved a resolution to deposit a bank reserve payment of $24,324.31 into the operations account. The motion to approve claims and the deposit each carried by voice/hand vote.
Donations accepted by the board included funds and equipment for multiple schools and programs. The transcript listed a range of gifts: $4,000 toward a work-based learning program, smaller donations to athletic and guidance programs, and donated office chairs for the middle school and Winslow; packet totals were read aloud for some items.
On technology purchases trustees approved a network-switch replacement project at Pike Central, Winslow and Petersburg elementary schools under a program that reduces the district share to 20% (the district share read in the meeting was $10,191.41; the transcript’s total project figure in that line is garbled). The board approved purchase of about 230 Chromebooks with a four-year ADP at a quoted amount of $80,759 (vendor RTI). Trustees also approved purchasing refurbished staff desktops from the vendor selected in the packet; the transcript lists a per-device quote but the total line is garbled in the audio record.
Personnel actions approved included several resignations and retirements (names read in the meeting included Kim Bun; Kathy Cochran, retiring after 34 years; Max Deputy, maintenance supervisor; Sophia Woodall; Missy Sinks; and Angie Abbott) and multiple appointment recommendations (including an accompanist, temporary assistant coverage during a leave, homebound-service providers and two summer technology positions). The board approved leaves and professional-travel requests presented in the packet.
All approval motions described above were recorded in the transcript as having a motion, a second and an affirmative voice/hand vote; no formal roll-call tallies with recorded nay votes appear in the transcript for these items.
Next steps: routine procurement will proceed per the approvals, and the administration will continue implementation of approved hires and leave coverage; the district indicated plans to post an RFP for food services as a potential cost-saving measure.
