Board approves vendor agreements, personnel motions, financial transfers and a property-damage release
Summary
At the Dec. board meeting members approved memoranda with Junior Achievement and the Healthy Kids vendor, accepted retirements and resignations, approved limited and supplemental contracts and substitute hires, adopted November financials and authorized a property-damage release related to Vasco's track work.
The Waterloo Local Board of Education voted on a series of consent and action items covering vendor agreements, personnel and finance.
Vendor agreements: The board approved purchase/service memoranda with two organizations. The board authorized continued use of Junior Achievement curriculum and services (no cost to the district) and approved a memorandum allowing a for-fee "Healthy Kids" before/after-school program to operate in district facilities; the vendor will charge parents directly for services and use district space subject to a vendor agreement.
Personnel: The board accepted the retirement of Beth Moon (effective May 30) and accepted the resignation/transfer of Jasmine Watts; it approved limited one-year contracts for listed staff, offered additional time on contract for Haley McMillan, approved substitutes for the school year and granted a volunteer supplemental contract to John Herek as boys' basketball assistant coach. Those personnel items passed by roll call.
Financial items: The board approved the minutes from Nov. 14 and the November financial report. Administrators explained a November deficit (about $1.3 million for the month) driven in part by a final bond payment; year-to-date the general fund still showed a surplus of roughly $600,000. The board approved transfers and an appropriation modification and discussed efforts to access approximately $60,000 in an L2 fund for capital purposes.
Property damage release: The board approved signing a property-damage release to finalize a claim with Vasco's insurer after the contractor damaged power lines while working on the track; initial estimates were about $63,000 and later rose to approximately $75,000.
Executive session: After business the board recessed into executive session for employment matters.
