Board approves classified agreement, capital upgrades, software subscriptions and four staff hires
Summary
By voice vote trustees approved the classified employees negotiated agreement, a fire-alarm upgrade, two three-year software contracts and four new staff hires; union ratification and packet corrections were noted during debate.
The Cordova City School District board approved multiple motions on contracts and personnel during the meeting.
A committee member moved and another seconded approval of the classified employees group negotiated agreement as presented in the board packet; the chair confirmed the classified union had ratified the agreement and trustees approved it by voice vote.
Trustees also approved the Mount Eckles fire alarm panel replacement and upgrade and approved a three-year licensing subscription for the GoG Guardian Network filter after staff noted multi-year terms can stabilize costs. The board approved a three-year subscription for the SIMV teacher-evaluation tool, with staff reporting strong user feedback and a lower cost than the prior system.
On personnel, the board approved several recommended hires by voice vote: Rayar Cascera (elementary teacher), Katie Walker (elementary teacher; trustees discussed a packet correction to the posted education/institution line), Nate Walker (junior/senior high teacher) and Deborah Adams (junior/senior high counselor). Staff described retire-rehire posting requirements and applicant screening steps during the discussion of the counselor hire.
