Board approves auditor engagement, vendor bids and personnel motions; accepts small donation
Summary
Trustees approved Lloyd Group as auditor, accepted several vendor bids (milk, workers' comp), approved surplus disposals, accepted an $8.20 donation from Casey's, and took personnel actions including hiring a science teacher; all votes reported as unanimous (7-0) where recorded.
At its regular meeting the Rock Hills board approved a set of routine but consequential administrative matters including an auditor engagement, vendor contracts, surplus disposals and personnel items.
Auditor: After Maples declined to continue auditing schools, administration recommended Lloyd Group (Galva, KS). Trustees discussed Lloyd Group’s school experience and references; the motion to approve Lloyd Group carried 7-0.
Procurement and surplus: The board accepted Hiland’s milk bid (the only bidder able to meet twice-weekly deliveries) and awarded workers’ compensation coverage after staff’s market outreach; both motions passed 7-0. Trustees also approved disposal of surplus kitchen and technology equipment (staff said a vendor will pay for and remove outdated tech), and accepted an $8.20 donation from Casey’s for elementary classrooms.
Personnel: After executive sessions on non‑elected personnel and negotiations, the board returned to open session and approved supplemental contracts and the hire of Haley Hall for science instruction (sixth, ninth and 11th grades) by unanimous voice votes.
Why it matters: Routine procurement and audit contracts ensure continuity of operations and compliance. Personnel approvals finalize staffing for the next school year; the small community donation supports classroom needs.
Next steps: Administration will complete contracts with Lloyd Group and vendors, track bond reimbursements for construction invoices, and process the approved employment agreements.
