Lincoln County School Board reviews finances, Head Start timeline and approves multiple personnel actions
Summary
The board reviewed September financials showing delayed property-tax collections, heard a superintendent update on Head Start scheduling and student math awards, and approved multiple personnel actions including retirements and hires following executive session.
The Lincoln County School Board reviewed financial reports and acted on superintendent-recommended personnel items at its November meeting.
Board financial discussion noted there were no local property-tax collections through September; the district reported about $2.7 million in cash on hand and monthly TBT receipts of roughly $50,000. The board discussed moving collection or bond items to a ballot if shortfalls continue; no final ballot action was taken at the meeting.
Superintendent reports included a signed Head Start contract awaiting CDI signature and an expectation to begin Head Start classes in January as part of a phased rollout. The superintendent also announced academic recognitions: the middle school earned a math leader designation for eighth-grade growth and high-school algebra achievement, with stated proficiency and growth percentages described to the board.
Following an executive session, the board returned and approved multiple personnel actions on the superintendent’s recommendations: retirements (Beth Asmore effective Dec. 31; Victoria Daniel effective Nov. 4), acceptance of resignations (Nicole Bernard; Belinda Thomas shifting roles), and hires (Amanda Waller and Jessica Burns as food-service assistant substitutes; Rachel Jordan as a school substitute; Beth Holm as business office specialist). The board also approved an extended day for Jenny Marlo for November–December 2024 and an additional five-week supplement for Christian Jackson for girls softball. Each motion as recorded in the transcript was seconded and recorded as "all in favor." The meeting then adjourned.
What happens next: Financial collection strategies and potential ballot timing were flagged for future discussion; personnel hires will proceed per the superintendent’s recommendations.
