Votes at a glance: board approves bids, appointments and personnel report; coaching posting authorized
Summary
The Sheridan County School District #3 board approved advertising for propane bids, appointed an alternate to the Clear Creek Recreation District, authorized a junior high boys basketball coaching advertisement and approved the personnel action report; several curriculum/training items were not moved.
At its regular meeting, the Sheridan County School District #3 Board of Trustees approved several routine and operational actions and declined to advance two curriculum/training agenda items.
Approved items
• Advertise for propane bids (FY 2026–27): The board authorized advertising a propane procurement for up to 60,000 gallons with a not‑to‑exceed price for usage beyond that cap. Trustees discussed market timing and budgeting risks and agreed to advertise the bid. (Mover: Ernie; second: Sam.)
• Appointment to Clear Creek Recreation District: The board moved, seconded and approved the appointment of Sam Olson as the 2026 alternate representative to the Clear Creek Recreation District. (Mover: Gina; second: Ernie.)
• Advertise for junior high head boys basketball coach: Following a coaching resignation, the board approved posting the junior high head boys basketball position for hire.
• Personnel action report: The routine personnel action report was approved as recommended by administration.
Items not advanced
• Seven Habits book study and related professional development contract: The life skills committee presented a recommendation to pilot a Seven Habits book study, with the option to adopt the Leader in Me curriculum later. When the chair asked for a motion to approve the book study purchase and the associated PD contract, no trustee offered a motion; both agenda items therefore failed to advance for lack of a motion.
Next steps: For items that did not advance, staff was directed to return with clearer cost estimates and a plan for how a new life‑skills approach would interact with the existing Sources of Strength program and staffing requirements.
