Summary
At its Oct. 9 meeting the Tri-Center Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution to continue the Instructional Support Program, approved a sharing agreement with St. Albert for bowling and authorized a $13,236.76 Resilite wrestling mat purchase; the board also tabled the weapons policy second reading.
The Tri-Center Board of Education on Oct. 9 voted unanimously to continue the district's participation in the Instructional Support Program and approved several routine agreements and purchases.
Board Member Jeremy VanArsdol introduced the resolution to continue participation in the Instructional Support Program; Sara Arnold seconded. The board recorded ayes from Sara Arnold, Katie Ausdemore, Mike Olsen, Amanda Scherer and Jeremy VanArsdol, and the resolution carried without dissent.
Also on motions that passed 5–0, the board approved a sharing agreement with St. Albert for bowling for the 2024–2025 school year (motion by Sara Arnold, second by Jeremy VanArsdol) and accepted a bid from Resilite to purchase a new wrestling mat for $13,236.76 (motion by Jeremy VanArsdol, second by Sara Arnold).
