The Starmont Community School District Board approved a one-year agreement with Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) to provide a College and Career Transition Counselor at a cost of $13,087 for the year and allowing the district to claim additional operational sharing dollars (2 FTE).

Procedural note: An initial motion to table the agreement was made by board member Doug Puffett and failed for lack of a second on the first attempt; a subsequent motion to table by Puffett (seconded by Moellers) failed 1–4. Jacob Moellers then moved to approve the agreement; Tony Recker seconded. The final vote to approve was 4–1, with Puffett casting the lone dissenting vote.

Nut graf: The agreement funds a counseling position focused on college and career transition services and is structured as a one-year engagement with operational-sharing implications. The minutes do not include additional details about deliverables, schedule or evaluation metrics; administration will execute the agreement and document operational sharing arrangements.

Next steps: Administration will finalize the NICC agreement and proceed with implementation and reporting under the one-year contract.
