Platteville board approves HVAC controls purchase, Title IX policy update and routine consent items
Summary
The Platteville School District board approved a JCI HVAC controls purchase, adopted Title IX policy updates, and passed its consent agenda on Sept. 11. Several routine and required reports were accepted by voice vote; motions lacked roll-call tallies in the transcript.
The Platteville School District Board of Education on Sept. 11 approved a purchase of new HVAC controls, adopted updated Title IX policies and passed its routine consent agenda items during a meeting that ran about one hour.
The board voted to approve a purchase from JCI for updated HVAC controls that will target the district's oldest units across all four buildings, with primary work at the high school. Administrators said the current control engines are 10 to 15 years old, are no longer supported in some cases, and lack manual bypass options; the purchase will be paid from Fund 10 as an operational expense, not the capital referendum funds. The motion was approved on a voice vote; the transcript records a second by Colleen but does not provide a roll-call tally or the mover's name.
On policy matters, the board approved second and final reading of a Title IX policy package (policy 113 and related grievance procedures) after committee review. The approval was moved by Ben, seconded by Ashley and carried on a voice vote, according to the transcript.
The consent agenda — which included minutes of the prior meeting, the August 2024 financial report, PMA Securities bond portfolio information and safety/security purchases (smash-proof film and storefront glass funded from the capital referendum) — was approved on a voice vote following a motion by Kurt and a second by Colleen.
Separately, the board accepted the annual seclusion and restraint report (a state-required report prepared by the director of student services). A board member questioned why counts under five are redacted; administrators said small counts are suppressed to avoid the risk of identifying individual students. The seclusion and restraint report was approved with a motion moved by Steve and seconded by Kesha.
All formal actions in the transcript were approved by voice vote; the recording does not include a roll-call vote or named vote tallies for these items. The meeting adjourned at 8:27 p.m.
