Board appoints Rainey treasurer pro tem, approves personnel, contracts and donations
Summary
At its May 19 meeting the Revere Board of Education appointed Mrs. Rainey as treasurer pro tem, approved a slate of personnel actions and accepted several cash and equipment donations, including funds earmarked for student scholarships and teacher excellence awards.
The Revere Board of Education moved quickly through routine business on May 19, appointing Mrs. Rainey as treasurer pro tem and approving a consent package of personnel changes, contracts and donations. Chair (speaker 1) opened the meeting at 5:30 p.m., asked for the agenda adjustment and nominated Mrs. Rainey to serve in Treasurer Berdine’s absence; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The treasurer’s report, presented by Mrs. Rainey, included approval of prior meeting minutes and the April financial report, authorization of several purchase orders and a list of donations. The board accepted six cash donations and one equipment gift: examples listed by the treasurer included $500 from a GPD grant for Richfield Elementary sensory tools; $1,500 from the Revere Middle School PTA for the eighth-grade Washington, D.C., trip; $1,000 from the Friends of the Richfield Library for a scholarship at Revere High School; and two $2,500 contributions for teacher excellence awards (from Chris and Gigi Kostoff and from the Westfield Insurance Foundation). The district also accepted an in-kind equipment donation, a 12-by-30-foot storage building from the Revere youth football and cheer organization for use behind the district lot.
Administrators summarized a broad consent agenda of personnel items the board approved as a block, including the hiring of new staff, internal transfers, leaves of absence, summer positions (paint crew) and supplemental contracts for athletics and co-curricular roles. The board recorded roll-call approvals for the consent items; board members indicated unanimous or majority support during the roll calls shown in the meeting record.
Transportation staff updated the board on bus-driver recruitment tied to the consent items: a recent recruiting event generated about 14 interested applicants, two drivers are in training and two background-checked drivers from neighboring districts have been conditionally cleared pending paperwork, which the staff said would allow full routes if completed.
No executive session was requested, and the board adjourned at 6:39 p.m.
The board did not specify implementation dates for the personnel changes beyond standard start dates; when asked about recurring donors such as the Westfield Insurance Foundation, members said they would verify whether the gift is annual.
