Philipsburg trustees approve permissive levies, coaching hires and routine warrants
Summary
The Philipsburg board approved a call for permissive levies, authorized payroll/claims warrants and approved several personnel items including offering a junior‑high assistant track coach contract to Audrey Raki and formalizing volunteer track coaches.
At the same meeting, the Philipsburg Board of Trustees approved several routine financial and personnel actions.
Catherine, the district fiscal administrator, presented preliminary levy estimates and described the permissive‑levy process: the levies proposed for transportation, building reserve and tuition are preliminary estimates that will be finalized during the formal budget season. The board approved the call for permissive levies by voice vote; Catherine said the figures are subject to finalization in August.
The board also moved to approve payroll warrants (64101–64128), direct deposits and listed claims and VISA charges; the motion carried on a voice vote.
On personnel matters, the board approved offering a junior‑high assistant track coaching contract to Audrey Raki (the sole applicant for Item C) for the 2026 season. The board also formally approved volunteer high‑school and junior‑high track coaches: Brandon Harvey, Dustin Hansen and Dustin Kelder. Motions for both items were moved, seconded and passed by voice vote.
The board noted that some funds (for building projects, transportation or technology) are restricted in their uses and cannot be reallocated to teacher salaries; trustees said they seek to manage levy requests to avoid unnecessary tax increases while funding required capital maintenance.
The board set dates for upcoming committee and strategic‑planning meetings and adjourned the meeting.
