Wa-Nee board approves athletic training contract, safety referendum resolution and routine business

The Wa-Nee Community Schools Board approved several routine items during its meeting, including an updated athletic training contract, a resolution in support of a school-safety referendum, classified-pay adjustments, and procurement approvals.

Beacon Athletic Training contract: The board approved an updated 12-month agreement for athletic training services. A motion to accept the Beacon Athletic Training contract was made and seconded and carried by voice vote.

School-safety referendum resolution: The board moved and adopted a resolution supporting a school-safety referendum; the motion was seconded and declared carried.

Classified manual updates: The board reviewed the classified staff manual and approved pay-tier adjustments. Board presenters said there were no language changes; the pay proposal increases tier eight from 1% to 2% and applies roughly half-percent increases across other tiers to narrow pay gaps.

Annual bond and procurement: The board approved the annual public employees bond and accepted the food, milk and produce bids; presenters reported no change in the milk supplier from last year and identified a primary food vendor.

Procedural note: Each item was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote as recorded in the meeting transcript; specific roll-call tallies were not provided in the transcript excerpts.

Next steps: Approvals are effective as the board indicated during the meeting; no further detail on contract terms or implementation timelines was recorded in the transcript provided.
