Waterloo Local board approves contracts, interim superintendent appointment and multiple personnel actions
Summary
At its regular meeting the board approved entered agreements (search services, ESC service plan, concession/field use with Viking Youth Football, SRO contract), appointed Bob Wolf interim superintendent for June 1–July 31, approved an operations manager contract and multiple personnel items, and accepted retirements and resignations.
The Waterloo Local Board of Education voted to approve several contracts and personnel actions during its regular meeting.
On a single motion the board agreed to enter four separate agreements: an Educational Service Center (ESC) contract to conduct the superintendent and treasurer search, an ESC service plan for the coming year (with reduced scope), an agreement with Viking Youth Football and cheer for use of the visitor concession stand and fields, and a contract with the sheriff's office for the district's school resource officer. The motion carried on roll call.
The board also approved a three-year contract for a new combined operations manager position (consolidating food service and facilities duties) and its salary grid. The board approved a supplemental memorandum of understanding to create a Destination Imagination supplemental position for K–12 STEAM activities; the position will be supported in part by a $5,000 parental donation noted in the meeting record.
In personnel actions the board appointed Bob Wolf as interim superintendent for June 1 through July 31; the appointment was described as part of the search contract and not expected to generate additional charges from the ESC. The board approved the retirement of Lisa Lang after 34 years of service and accepted the resignation of a board member (recorded as Teresa Zach) effective April 30. The meeting record shows multiple other routine contract approvals (substitute lists, certified and classified contracts, stipends and resignations) passed on roll call.
Votes at a glance: the minutes record motions as passing on roll call. The record includes named members present during roll calls (Mr. Cherry, Mr. Hick, Mr. Moon) and multiple "yes" responses; individual vote tallies beyond the recorded 'yes' responses are not enumerated in the public text.
Board members discussed the concession-stand arrangement in the context of community booster support and district responsibility for music program needs; the superintendent noted prior concession revenues (2021 visitor stand ~$3,984; home stand ~$10,890) while recommending the visitor stand be allocated to football and cheer and music boosters be offered baseball/softball concessions.
The board recessed into an executive session later in the meeting on a recorded motion and then adjourned the public portion of the meeting.
