Hubbard-Radcliffe board approves policies and personnel changes, hears solar and facilities updates
Summary
At its Sept. 16 meeting the Hubbard-Radcliffe Community School District Board approved routine consent items and several personnel actions, heard reports on school assessments and upcoming solar and playground projects, tabled a wrestling mat purchase and met in closed session to review its Emergency Operations Plan.
The Hubbard-Radcliffe Community School District Board of Education met Sept. 16 and approved routine business, accepted personnel changes and heard updates on facilities and energy projects.
Board President Jacob Bolson called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. and the board unanimously approved the agenda. The board also unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included minutes from the Aug. 19 regular meeting and the district’s budget and warrants report.
Elementary School Principal Brian Mangold said "the beginning of the school year is off to a great start," and that fall screenings are ongoing while the district adapts to a new set of AEA consultants. Middle School Principal Kevin Henrichs reported staff are reviewing ISASP math and ELA results to plan interventions and extension supports and that 55% of 7th- and 8th-grade students are participating in a fall sport. The high school report was submitted by Mr. Rundall and noted in the record.
Superintendent Adam Zellmer told the board he is managing state and federal reporting and that construction preparation is underway. Zellmer said the Radcliffe Solar Project "should be starting this week," while a separate Hubbard solar project remains under review and "is still working with Alliant Energy and waiting for approval." He also reported that playground equipment has arrived and installation is expected to begin at the end of the month and that a fence is pending for new air-conditioning units at Hubbard.
On personnel actions, the board accepted the resignation of Quintin Meldrem from his junior-high boys basketball and baseball coaching positions. The board approved an employment contract for paraeducator Angie Fisher pending completion of a background check, and it approved a lane-change for Kristin Topp to reflect a master’s degree. All motions noted in the minutes carried unanimously (Ayes: Bolson, Imsland, Miller, Rieks; Absent: Eide). Movers and seconders are recorded in the minutes (for example, many motions were made by Board Member Tracey Rieks and seconded by either Laura Imsland or Kelli Miller).
After discussion the board voted to table consideration of purchasing wrestling mats until the February joint board meeting. The board also met in closed session from 7:49 p.m. to 9:20 p.m. under Iowa Code 21.5(1)(a) to review the district’s Emergency Operations Plan and returned to open session by roll call vote.
The board set its next regular and joint meeting for Monday, Oct. 14, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. in the Success Room at the Hubbard School. The monthly meeting adjourned at 9:21 p.m.
