Board approves CESA shared-services contract, accepts treasurer's report and routine personnel items

The Maple School District board approved the district's routine financial and personnel business and voted to continue a shared-services contract with CESA for the 2026–27 school year.

Treasurer Cowley reported a general fund cash-and-investment balance of $5,238,471.92 on April 30, 2026, receipts of $66,145.69 since May 1, and night-of disbursements totaling $78,446.70. The flexible spending account and health reimbursement account balances were also reported. The board approved the consent agenda, including minutes and payment of invoices.

Administration presented the CESA 12 shared-services contract, noting the proposed 2026–27 services are largely status-quo with about $7,000 less than projected last year and include targeted instructional coaching in science and social studies for grades 6–12. Administrator Fletcher told the board: "For the most part, it's pretty status quo with the exception of we'd like to add some instructional coaching supports in the areas of science and social studies." Board members asked questions about cybersecurity recommendations and staffing; administration said the district will continue existing monitoring arrangements and that some recommended items were not adopted because the district has in-house staff or alternative vendors.

The board approved the CESA contract by roll call.

The board also accepted personnel actions: multiple resignations effective at the end of the school year and a slate of hires and internal transfers for the coming year. Administrators noted difficulty recruiting some specialists (speech language pathologists) but said interviews were scheduled.

The items were approved by motions and recorded votes where required.
