Board approves treasurer succession, year‑end account moves and HVAC bid authorization
Summary
At its April 13 meeting the Anthony Wayne Board accepted the treasurer's retirement, moved to employ assistant treasurer Mr. Green as treasurer effective with the stated transition, approved year‑end account modifications to ensure a positive balance at June 30, 2026, and authorized advertising for bids for a junior high kitchen HVAC project to be funded from the food service fund.
The Anthony Wayne Board of Education on April 13 handled routine business and several personnel actions, including a planned treasurer succession and authorizations for year‑end financial steps and a kitchen HVAC bid advertisement.
Board leadership told the meeting that Treasurer Mrs. Johnson plans to retire effective July 31, 2026, creating a vacancy in the district's two‑employee executive staff. The board discussed promoting current assistant treasurer Mr. Green into the treasurer role; the board noted it had evaluated Mr. Green for over a year as part of the internal succession plan. The board moved to accept Mr. Green's resignation from his assistant treasurer post effective July 31 and moved to employ him as treasurer. Following motion and second, the chair congratulated Mr. Green after the vote.
The minutes and the treasurer's monthly financials were presented and approved as routine business. The treasurer highlighted that state rules require the district to publish spending plans for certain funds, including student wellness and DPIA funds, and said this year those funds supported a social worker and psychological staff rather than a resource officer. The board acknowledged donations of $860 and gift cards raised by a community engagement class for Neighborhood Bridges.
On budgetary matters the board authorized the treasurer to make necessary account modifications to secure a positive year‑end balance at June 30, 2026. The board also approved advertising for bids for a junior high kitchen HVAC improvement project and recorded that the project would be funded from the food service fund (meeting discussion referenced "OD W" and later "PI fund," phrasing that was unclear in the transcript; the treasurer stated the project would not be charged to the general fund).
Personnel items in the consent agenda included recognition of two retirements — Lisa Earnhausen (37 years in technology roles) and Brenda Coors (30 years in food service) — and approval of two hires (a food service cook and a junior high physical education teacher), a substitute list of 27 individuals and a volunteer list (all volunteers noted as subject to background checks).
The board adjourned and set the next regular meeting for May 11 at 6:00 p.m. at the board office.
Notes: the transcript records vote calls and voiced "yes" responses for multiple members on motions, but the document did not include a complete roll‑call vote tally for every agenda item; the article reports outcomes and records where vote details were not specified in the transcript.
