Board approves routine personnel, budgets and policies; defers new prank policy
Summary
At its June meeting the Pendleton County Board of Education approved minutes, accepted resignations, approved hires, approved budget revisions and the treasurer's report, approved a five-year copier lease, adopted several policies (excluding a new 'pranks' policy) and approved textbooks and student transfers; the superintendent's evaluation was completed in executive session and the board reported she met goals.
The Pendleton County Board of Education handled a slate of routine and required items at its public meeting, approving minutes, personnel actions, finance items and several policies while setting aside a proposed prank policy for further review.
Actions the board approved by motion and voice vote included: acceptance of resignations for extracurricular coaches; authorization to rescind a RIF and to post a 200-day occupational-therapy contract (with 15 days for extended-year services); approvals of several new extracurricular and classroom personnel; the treasurer's report for May showing a cash position of about $3.37 million; payment of May bills totaling $626,267.95 (highlights included a liability/property insurance prepayment, contracted therapy services and custodial-supply purchases); budget revisions for special-education supplements totaling $36,753; and a five-year copier lease with Queen City Business Systems at $2,930 per month to replace and consolidate 16 units across the district.
On policies, the board approved multiple revisions and three new policies (professional workload and time schedules, updates to leave policy days required by the state, and a 'share table' child-nutrition policy) but explicitly excluded a proposed pranks policy from the second reading after extended discussion about scope and supervision.
The board also approved textbook adoptions (personal finance and K–6 wellness curricula) and two student transfer requests. During an executive session for personnel, the board completed the superintendent's evaluation and later reported in open session that the superintendent "has met the goals that she was given."
Votes were taken by voice; the transcript records motions, seconds and voice votes but does not provide roll-call tallies in the public record excerpt. The board directed staff to return with feasibility and cost estimates on the library/weight-room proposal and to report back on year-end budget revisions after June 16 as needed.
