Summary
At its Oct. 22 meeting, the Clarksville Community School Board approved personnel changes including a termination, several hires and a pending nurse hire; approved the April 2025 prom location; added an assistant girls wrestling coach; and raised activity bus pay to $18 per hour. All recorded motions carried.
The Clarksville Community School Board of Education voted Oct. 22, 2024, to approve a slate of personnel changes, event plans and operational items during its regular meeting in Room #109.
Board President Justin Clark opened the meeting at 5:30 p.m. The board unanimously approved the meeting agenda and minutes for Sept. 16 and Sept. 19, 2024. The board then approved the September financial reports and October monthly bills.
On personnel, the board approved the termination of Rebecka Mahlstadt from food service and accepted the resignation of Bonnie Davies from food service. It approved contracts for Sarah Fisher (basketball cheer, $1,256), Anna Richards (junior high girls basketball, $1,884) and Greg Barnett (co-ed track, $2,198). The board also approved hiring Mackenzie Poock as a nurse at $55 per hour pending a background check, and accepted Dan Clark as a volunteer coach for junior high girls basketball. Those personnel motions were moved by Brandon Kampman and seconded by Tim Backer and carried unanimously.
The board approved holding the April 2025 prom at the Grout Museum in Waterloo, following a motion by Shelley Maiers and a second from Kampman.
Citing participation numbers — reported as 15 high school girls and 30 junior high wrestlers — the board approved adding an assistant girls wrestling coach. The board additionally directed Board Secretary/Business Manager Shellee Bartlett to issue a key fob and an inside coach’s key to volunteer coaches; keys must be returned at season end or a $250 penalty will be assessed.
The board approved purchasing two picnic tables and completed the second reading of board policies 705.01R1 and 705.01R2. Item 7f, relating to East gym speakers and a projector, was tabled for future consideration.
Fundraiser requests from the Elementary Student Council, Beta Club, Cheer and PBIS were approved. A separate building request for a “Midnight Madness” girls basketball event received no motion and therefore was not approved.
The board approved bids for concrete work related to a fuel tank project and raised the activity bus driving pay to $18 per hour, effective as recorded. The district will pay for driver training upon successful completion, with a commitment to drive for the district as determined by the superintendent.
All motions recorded in the minutes were carried unanimously unless otherwise noted. The meeting adjourned at 7:42 p.m.; the next regular meeting is scheduled for Nov. 18, 2024, at 5:30 p.m.
