Board approves resolutions, construction authorizations and names new elementary school 'Evergreen Trail Blazers'
Summary
At its May 18 meeting the Scott School District board approved three resolutions (including 180‑day waivers and a GMP amendment), authorized a special inspections contract, confirmed policies on second reading, approved payroll and vouchers, adopted a consent agenda and voted to name the new Elementary School No. 6 the 'Evergreen Trail Blazers.'
The Scott School District board used its May 18 meeting to approve a package of governance and operational items, including three resolutions, a construction oversight contract, policy updates and the formal name for a new elementary school.
The board approved three resolutions described in the agenda as "resolution 11 68" (a 180‑school‑day waiver for transitional kindergarten), "resolution 1 1 6 9" (a 180‑day waiver to allow incoming ninth graders a full day on campus) and "resolution 11 70" (approval of a guaranteed maximum price amendment). The president called for the vote after motions and seconds; the meeting record shows the motions passed with the board president announcing the approvals.
On construction oversight, the board approved a special inspections and testing contract for an ongoing project; board members thanked staff for clarifying GMP‑related details ahead of the vote. The board also approved payroll and vendor vouchers and adopted the consent agenda, which included personnel items (noting a principal departure and a posted opening), a middle‑school ELA curriculum adoption proposal (previously presented), district surplus items and proposed 2026‑27 fees.
The board voted to name the new Elementary School No. 6 the “Evergreen Trail Blazers.” The president described a community naming process that narrowed more than 250 suggestions to a final list; Director Fisher introduced the Evergreen Trail Blazers motion and Director Stouffer seconded it.
Policy matters: the board reviewed several policies on first reading and adopted multiple updates on second reading, including an ethical conduct policy for directors, a prohibited harassment policy for students, property and data management, and facilities records maintenance.
Motions cited in the record were introduced by board directors identified in the meeting as Director Fisher, Director Stouffer and Director Cochran; the president presided over votes. The transcript does not record roll‑call tallies by name; the president announced each motion as passed.
