Board approves asphalt work and insurance renewal, accepts $4,616.14 in donations
Summary
The board approved quotes for asphalt repairs at the junior high and high school, renewed district insurance, and accepted donations totaling $4,616.14; administrators stressed that sealcoating is preventative maintenance and milling/re‑bidding would be required for larger projects.
The Mahomet‑Seymour Board of Education approved vendor quotes for asphalt repairs at Mahomet‑Seymour Junior High and Mahomet‑Seymour High School, approved the district’s insurance renewal and accepted several community donations totaling $4,616.14.
Dr. Kaylor presented two vendor quotes for asphalt work. He said the junior high quote was below the board’s bidding threshold while the high‑school work exceeded that threshold and would proceed following board approval. Board members asked about maintenance strategy; administrators said regular sealcoating extends pavement life and that milling and formal bidding would be required when a larger resurfacing project becomes necessary.
Dr. Leaf reported donations of $2,116.14 from the Mahomet‑Seymour Drama Boosters to the theater activity fund; $1,000 from Pamela Curts to the high‑school "Mom's Pantry"; $500 to the junior‑high Interact Club; and $1,000 from Nick Taylor to clear past‑due lunch balances. The packet total contains a typographical error; the correct sum of those amounts is $4,616.14.
The board also approved the annual insurance renewal; one board member abstained, citing a conflict of interest related to an external board membership.
All contract approvals and the insurance renewal were recorded as approved in roll call votes.
