Board reviews finances and personnel actions; summer feeding served roughly 800 students over three days
Summary
Ms. Sweet reported Fund One revenues of $1.8 million and expenditures of $1.9 million for the month ending in May; the board approved routine annual guides and personnel actions. Mr. Bishop reported the summer feeding program served about 700 at one site and roughly 134 at Mount Vernon, totaling over 800 students in three days.
Ms. Sweet presented the monthly financial report for the month ending in May and told the board Fund One revenues were $1.8 million and expenditures $1.9 million. She thanked payroll and accounts-payable staff for processing multiple payrolls and five check runs during a busy close-of-fiscal-year period, and invited questions; none were raised on the record before the board approved the report (vote tally not specified in the transcript).
The board then approved routine annual documents for the 2026–2027 school year: the process/procedure guide and the district code of acceptable behavior and discipline. Presenters said there were no modifications from the prior year and the board voted to approve both items.
Superintendent Ballou presented personnel action reports and noted clean-up of the substitute list and several current vacancies, including an RCMS science teacher, an elementary teacher at Mount Vernon Elementary, and pre-K positions at Mount Vernon and Broadhead. He said principals were prepared to offer candidates for the open positions; the personnel item was approved on the agenda.
Dr. Ellinger asked for a brief update on summer feeding; Mr. Bishop reported the middle school football team and Citizens Bank helped run meal distribution and said staff served “nearing 700” students at one site and about 134 at Mount Vernon, totaling over 800 students served across three days. Mr. Bishop said he had not seen a final, audited count; numbers in the meeting were presented as approximate. Board members thanked staff and read a thank-you card from Ashley Clark recognizing the board’s sponsorship of Project Graduation.
Where the transcript does not provide vote counts or exact final participant tallies, this article notes those items were not specified in the record.
