Brush school board approves routine disposals, facility namings and contract items in September meeting

At its regular meeting, the School District No. Re-2 Brush Board of Education approved a series of routine actions and motions by roll-call votes.

Consent agenda: The board moved and adopted the consent agenda as posted.

Disposals: The board approved disposal of a trailer located on former W property and approved sending Vehicle 64 (described in the meeting as a 1999 Chevy Suburban used as a tech vehicle) to auction as irreparable.

Honor naming: The board approved an honor naming to dedicate two athletic areas—the locker rooms at the new Be Digger Stadium facility and the weight room at the Brush Secondary Campus—in recognition of a longtime coach whose nomination materials and Hall of Fame induction were included in the board packet.

Payments and contracts: The board approved payment of the remaining invoice to the district’s public adjuster (Traine Inc) and approved contract extensions and salary items including 25 extra contract days each for two special-education teachers to allow time to prepare IEPs outside instructional time. The board also approved an assistant athletic director position to be formalized.

Playground equipment: The board approved the quoted replacement for three playground slides at Thompson Primary after staff explained the slides’ plastic has become brittle and pieces are failing; staff noted limited supplier compatibility for the slide system.

Policy actions and personnel: The personnel report, contract extensions, and multiple board policies (listed in the packet) were moved to second reading as presented.

Votes: Each motion carried on roll-call votes recorded verbally in the transcript; the meeting log shows the board members in attendance (Mrs Garrett, Mrs Hansen, Mr Miller, Mr mortson, Mr talene, Mr windimer, and Mr CH) answering affirmatively when the clerk called roll for each vote.
