District to seek contracted nursing services after nurse resignation; cameras installed and roof claim pending
Summary
Superintendent Drew Billeter told the board that District Nurse Janette Nelms resigned and the district has contacted the Red Willow County Health Department for a contracted services proposal; the meeting also recorded newly installed security cameras and a pending insurance decision on elementary roof damage.
Superintendent Drew Billeter reported to the Southwest Public Schools Board on March 10 that District Nurse Janette Nelms has resigned and the district has requested a proposal from the Red Willow County Health Department to provide contracted nursing services for the 2025–2026 school year.
Billeter said additional security cameras have been installed at both district buildings. He also told the board that a claim for damage to the elementary school roof is awaiting a decision from ALICAP, the district’s insurance carrier.
On staffing and facilities, Billeter said the district has begun advertising for the head maintenance position that will be vacated this summer and that surplus vehicles are scheduled to be auctioned by Kris Schaffert at Adam Marshall Auction on April 8, 2025. He reported that the district met maintenance‑of‑effort requirements for local special education costs for the 2023–2024 school year.
The board did not take separate action on these reports beyond recording them in the minutes; follow‑up tasks assigned in the meeting record include seeking a contracted services proposal and coordinating procurement and auction logistics.
