Summary
At a regular meeting, the Oneida Special School District board approved wellness and computer science textbooks, accepted multiple food-service bids while declining an ice cream bid, approved memoranda of understanding with health and education partners, and approved year-end budget adjustments and personnel items in unanimous roll-call votes.
The Oneida Special School District Board of Education approved a series of routine and programmatic items at its meeting, including the adoption of wellness and computer science textbooks, several memoranda of understanding with health and education partners, year-end budget adjustments and multiple personnel actions.
The board adopted new wellness and computer science textbooks after Chair (speaker S2) introduced the items and a board member (speaker S4) moved approval; Clerk (speaker S5) conducted a roll call and announced the motion carried. The board also approved a field trip for OHS cheerleaders to the Park Vista Hotel in Gatlinburg and a fundraiser request for the OHS football club.
On procurement, the board accepted several food-service bids — including US Foods (non-food) and R and J Produce (produce) — and discussed quality and shipment problems with an ice-cream vendor; the board declined the ice-cream bid and accepted the remaining bids.
