Summary
The board approved a broad consent agenda including multiple instructional hires and building leadership appointments, accepted resignations, approved volunteer coaches and open enrollments, set admission prices for events and authorized a cross-country sharing agreement; the board took no action on concession-stand and library/media center improvements.
STARMONT — At its Aug. 11 meeting the Starmont Community School District Board approved a consent agenda that included hiring for performing-arts and building leadership team roles, acceptance of several resignations, appointment of volunteer coaches, and approval of open enrollments.
On a motion by Doug Puffett and seconded by Tony Recker, the board approved the consent agenda with a recorded vote of 4-0. The consent list named hires including McKenna Schaufenbuel as Middle School Play Director; Kelly Lyon as high-school musical director and new-teacher mentor; and several staff appointed to building leadership teams. Resignations recorded included Vinny Otdoerfer as junior-high baseball coach and Rashelle Opitz as an elementary paraprofessional.
Co-Athletic Director Mike Augustine told the board, "We are still looking for head boys' basketball and assistant girls' basketball coaches," and noted that fall sports begin the same day, that the Booster Club golf outing is Aug. 17, and that a player sale and pie auction to raise money for cheer uniforms are planned for Aug. 23.
The board approved a sharing agreement with West Central for boys' and girls' cross country and set varsity admission at $7 and non-varsity admission at $5. The board also authorized seeking bids on obsolete equipment (a weight storage tree). Two agenda items — assisting the Booster Club with concession-stand improvements and library/media center improvements — were discussed but the board took no action.
Superintendent Robert Busch reported he had attended the School Administrators of Iowa conference and reminded members that school board elections are upcoming in November. The meeting adjourned at 7:28 p.m.
Details from the consent agenda — such as staff salaries, contract terms and dates — were included in the board packet but are not specified in the meeting transcript.
