Summary
The board approved the consent agenda including hires, monthly bills, transfers and routine contracts, authorized the Booster Club to seek a grant for accessibility improvements, and approved a three-year auditing agreement with Hacker Nelson.
At its Jan. 13 meeting the Starmont Community School District Board approved the consent agenda and a set of routine operational items, including personnel recommendations, financial reports and contracts.
The consent agenda — approved on a motion by Douglas Puffett and seconded by Tony Recker — included approval of minutes from Dec. 9 and Dec. 20, 2024; monthly financial reports; and monthly bills audited by President Julie Uhlenkamp. Personnel recommendations recorded in the minutes included hiring Roger Gifford as assistant track coach and Debbie Marmann as a secondary para. Volunteer coaches, open enrollments, fundraisers and special education contracts were also approved as part of the consent agenda.
The board approved a transfer of $4,757.79 from the General Fund to the Enterprise Fund (motion by Jacob Moellers) and separately approved a matching Modified Supplemental Amount request in the same amount. Other approved items included authorization for administration to submit exhibits to the School Budget Review Committee, approval of the coaches' handbook, issuing a request for mowing bids, and a three-year auditing agreement with Hacker Nelson covering fiscal years ending June 30, 2025–2027. The board also allowed the Booster Club to apply for a grant to pay for concrete work to improve accessibility at football/track concessions and restrooms.
All recorded motions for these routine items carried by unanimous votes where recorded; one board member, Vicki Althoff, was absent.
