North Butler school board approves personnel changes, hears Atura Architecture presentation
Summary
At its Oct. 14 meeting the North Butler Community School District board approved routine agenda items and multiple personnel changes, heard a presentation from Atura Architecture on facilities and bond support, tabled a sound‑system purchase for lack of bids, and set its next meeting for Nov. 11.
The North Butler Community School District Board of Education met Oct. 14 in the Greene School Media Center and approved the meeting agenda, the Sept. 9 minutes, and September 2024 financial reports and the October bill listing.
President Laurie Shultz called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m. Board members present were Ty Crawford‑Miller, Amanda Lund (via phone), Jordan Nolz, Laurie Shultz and Heather Shook. Superintendent Bryan Boysen and Business Manager/Board Secretary Shellee Bartlett were also present.
Austin Pehl of Atura Architecture gave the board a presentation on how the firm helps school districts with facility improvements and bond planning, describing services to support capital projects and potential bond measures.
The board approved a slate of personnel actions. A motion carried to accept resignations from Sarah Hoveland (associate), Tammy Wiedeman (food service) and Brooke Schroeder (co‑wrestling cheer). The board approved hiring Rachel Pierce as wrestling cheer with a stipend of $1,678 (4.5%, step 1) and Veronica Starkey as a van associate at $14.00 per hour. The board also approved the listed substitutes (Erin Good, Jessica O’Connor, Alisha Schafer and Thaena Reece) and volunteers for wrestling (Phil Pitzenberger, Theran Goodale and Amanda Willadsen). These personnel motions were moved and seconded and carried unanimously.
Item 8, a proposed sound‑system purchase, was tabled because no bids were available; the board took no purchase action on that item. A motion to adjourn, moved by Ty Crawford‑Miller and seconded by Heather Shook, passed and the meeting adjourned at 7:26 p.m. The board set a tentative next regular meeting for Nov. 11, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. in Allison.
Meeting actions were procedural and clerical; no ordinances, contracts, or new policies were adopted at this session.
