Board approves routine bids, school-safety designation and hiring authorization
Summary
In addition to the bond resolution, trustees approved the annual chemicals-for-food-service bid, a fuel contract to R&M, a school-safety busing-area designation for Route 3, authorization to hire ancillary staff as needed, and a first reading of updated board policy.
The Columbia CUSD 4 board approved several routine business items during its July meeting.
Contracts and procurement: The board approved the annual chemicals-for-food-service bid and awarded the district’s annual fuel contract to R&M as the lowest responsive bidder. The transcript records administration recommending the awards and roll-call votes approving the motions.
Student transportation safety: Trustees approved the district’s annual school-safety busing-area designation for route three (Veterans Parkway/Main Street). Administration explained that designating those roads as safety hazards allows reimbursement eligibility for students who live within a mile but whose walking routes would require crossing dangerous roads.
Personnel and policy: The board authorized administration to hire ancillary staff as needed for the 2025–26 school year (including cooks, drivers and a replacement counselor or social worker), with names to be reported to the board at the next meeting. The board also approved a first reading of the board policy series (policy number references in the transcript included the 100s/119); trustees were asked to review the policies before final action.
All routine items were approved by roll-call votes as recorded in the meeting transcript. The board adjourned at 7:29 p.m.
