Summary
At its Feb. 10 meeting the Starmont board approved its 2023–24 audit, the 900 series policies, a summer 2026 Puerto Rico Spanish trip, the Donovan Group proposal (amended to include May), refinishing of gym floors, and a $25,500 mowing contract; the board tabled a proposed technology upgrade and summer-help approvals.
The Starmont Community School District Board recorded multiple routine approvals and a pair of items the board chose to postpone during its Feb. 10 meeting.
Motions approved (all carried 4–0 unless noted): the consent agenda (approved personnel hires Amanda Baker and David Raber, accepted resignation of Lisa Pope, approved volunteer coaches Colton Jansen and Sara Hawkins, approved open enrollment for Henry Carbone Kruger and various fundraisers and special-education contracts); the second reading and approval of the 900 series board policies; acceptance of the 2023–24 audit; approval of a summer 2026 Spanish trip to Puerto Rico; approval of the Donovan Group proposal as amended to cover February through May; authorization to refinish gym floors in summer 2025 (bid to be approved later); and approval of a mowing bid from Keppler Landscaping for $25,500.
The board voted to table two items: a proposed technology upgrade (Puffett moved to table; Moellers seconded) and approval of summer help, both awaiting more information from staff.
Key votes and tallies: the budget-guarantee resolution and other motions recorded roll-call or stated tallies and were unanimous among the four present board members (Althoff, Moellers, Puffett, Recker). Motions were typically moved by Douglas Puffett or Jacob Moellers and seconded by other board members as recorded in the minutes.
The meeting closed with no closed session entered and an adjournment at 8:57 p.m.
