The Hyannis Area Schools Board of Education on July 8 approved its consent agenda and several administrative actions, including payment of $197,923.47 in general fund bills and $8,006.94 in activity fund disbursements, and accepted the resignation of employee Lee Rowe.
On a motion by Rodney Boots and second by Kevin Anderson the board approved the consent agenda. The motion passed with five ayes (Justin Vinton, Rodney Boots, Kevin Anderson, Chris Cover, Clint Taylor) and one member absent (Chris Gentry).
The board also approved an audit engagement with Dana F. Cole LLP, Certified Public Accountants (Scottsbluff, Nebraska). The minutes list an estimated fee as “$14,00.00”; the board approved the engagement. (The minutes appear to have a typographical error; the district recorded the figure as written and the board’s motion approved the engagement as presented.)
Other approved items on motions by board members included adoption of the Student, Activity and Staff handbooks for the 2024–25 school year and approval of classified wages for 2024–25. The board accepted the resignation of Lee Rowe on a motion by Clint Taylor, seconded by Chris Cover; the motion passed by the same 5–0 (1 absent) margin.
The meeting included an administrative report from Superintendent Travis Hawk and Business Manager Lauren Hollenbeck noting the district’s need for another large passenger van, consideration of participation in the Nebraska Liquid Assets Fund, and labor projections for 2024–25 to inform the upcoming budget process. Board members discussed scheduling additional budget meetings in August and September and set the next regular meeting for Aug. 13, 2024, at 7:00 PM.
