North Butler board approves dairy bid, personnel changes and facility purchases
Summary
At its July 22 meeting the North Butler Community School District board accepted a 2024–25 dairy bid, approved personnel resignations and hires (including junior high coaching appointments), raised activity ticket prices by $15, and authorized facility purchases totaling $43,865; all motions carried unanimously in the minutes.
The North Butler Community School District Board of Education on July 22, 2024, approved a series of routine motions including acceptance of a 2024–25 dairy bid from Anderson‑Erickson Dairy, several personnel actions affecting coaching and support staff, an increase in activity ticket prices, and two facility purchases totaling $43,865, according to the minutes.
President Laurie Shultz called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. in the Allison School Media Center. The minutes list Ty Crawford‑Miller, Amanda Lund (noted as joining by phone at 6:02 p.m.), Heather Shook and Laurie Shultz as present and name Superintendent Bryan Boysen and Business Manager/Board Secretary Shellee Bartlett as present; the same page also lists Amanda Lund and Jordan Nolz as absent, an inconsistency recorded in the board minutes.
Board member Ty Crawford‑Miller moved and Heather Shook seconded approval of the amended agenda; the board carried that motion and then unanimously approved the June 2024 meeting minutes, the June financial reports and the July bill listing.
On personnel, the board accepted resignations from Bethani Shaull (associate) and Adam Holm (custodian), approved eliminating the junior varsity boys basketball coach position because of low numbers, and approved several coaching appointments: Mike Ball as junior high football coach ($1,828, Step 0, 5%), Dale Johnson as junior high girls basketball coach ($1,828, Step 0, 5%) and Rachel Pierce as football cheer sponsor ($1,678, Step 1, 4.5%). The board also approved volunteer assignments for Mike Ball (football/wrestling), Shane Buss (football) and Dawson Clark (cross country). The minutes show these personnel motions carried unanimously; individual roll‑call vote tallies were not provided in the record.
On food service purchasing, the board accepted the district’s 2024–25 dairy bid from Anderson‑Erickson Dairy. The minutes state no bread bids were received; the district will purchase bread products from Martin Brothers through the IAEP purchasing contract.
The board approved changes to fees and meal prices, including raising activity ticket prices by $15. It also approved the 2024–25 Certified and Classified Handbooks and updates to the high school academic eligibility policy to align with state standards.
Curriculum and facilities actions included approval to purchase online Spanish coursework from Logra Learning and two capital purchases: an elementary office mini split HVAC unit quoted at $12,000 and a food serving counter priced at $31,865. Those two purchases total $43,865 per the minutes, and both motions were recorded as carried unanimously.
The board approved student council fundraisers and adjourned at 7:12 p.m. The minutes list the tentative next regular meeting as August 12, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. in Greene.
The minutes do not include direct quotes from speakers, detailed roll‑call vote tallies, or additional staff comment beyond the motions recorded; where the minutes are internally inconsistent (attendance listing for Amanda Lund), this article reports the discrepancy rather than resolving it.
