Summary

Finance items presented included monthly district bills and salaries, cafeteria bills, an insurance premium package, and contract and subscription renewals for student services — several items were presented for approval and some require follow-up or solicitor review.

At the June 10 work session Mr. Covesic presented a set of finance and contract items for the board's consideration, including recommended payments, insurance premiums, service agreements and software subscriptions.

The administration recommended paying district monthly bills in the amount transcribed as $881,628.37 and covering monthly district personnel salaries transcribed as $1,764,739.84. Cafeteria monthly bills and salaries were listed as $85,467.77 and $65,713.16 respectively. The district's annual insurance premiums obtained through broker Arthur J. Gallagher were presented at a total cost of $399,515 for the 2026–27 year.

Contract recommendations included continuation of third‑party retirement-plan administration (Omni Group) for 403b/457 services, and an agreement for transport nursing services with Bayita Home Healthcare Incorporated to provide nursing coverage for field trips and students requiring transport nursing. The board also reviewed a subcontracted school‑psychologist agreement (contract with Carrie Ward) pending solicitor review.

Technology and platform renewals were discussed: an item labeled in the transcript as the Infinite Campus annual licensing subscription for 2026–27 appeared with an unclear numeric string in the recording (transcribed as "$27,34.40"); the transcript contains inconsistently rendered figures for certain software line items and those amounts should be confirmed with the district business office. The board also reviewed one‑year renewals for Seesaw (elementary LMS) and other instructional platforms.

The meeting included a recommendation to purchase four American AED defibrillator packages; the transcript lists a per‑unit price of $1,572 and shows the vendor as American AED. The administration noted the district should ensure the selected AEDs and pads are compatible with local ambulance service equipment and recommended weather‑protected mounting boxes that can notify 911 if opened.

What happens next: several contract items (including the subcontracted psychologist) were presented for approval or renewal and will proceed through the normal approval process; numeric discrepancies in some subscription amounts are noted in the record and require confirmation with the business office before final accounting.
