The Clarksville Comm School District Board of Education met Aug. 19, 2024, in Room #109 and approved a set of weather-related school cancellation makeup options for teachers, accepted personnel recommendations that included two hires and two volunteer football coaches, approved July financial reports and minutes, and tabled a track change order.
President Justin Clark called the meeting to order at 5:32 p.m. Board members present were Justin Clark (president), Tim Backer, Phil Barnett, Brandon Kampman and Shelley Maiers. Also in attendance were Superintendent Bryan Boysen, Business Manager/Board Secretary Shellee Bartlett, Principal Kristi Hannemann, Assistant Principal Mike Rupe and Bob Bartlett.
On routine business the board approved the meeting agenda (moved by Tim Backer; seconded by Brandon Kampman) and the minutes from the July 17, 2024 meeting (moved by Phil Barnett; seconded by Shelley Maiers). The board also approved the July 2024 financial reports and the August 2024 bill listing (moved by Brandon Kampman; seconded by Tim Backer).
Personnel recommendations were approved on a motion by Phil Barnett, seconded by Shelley Maiers. The board approved contracts for Stephanie Harre as an associate and Vernon Miller as a bus driver, and approved volunteer football coaches Justin Clark and Greg Barnett. The minutes note that President Justin Clark abstained from the vote on the volunteer appointments. The minutes also record the motion as "Carried unanimously," an internal inconsistency in the record that the board minutes do not reconcile.
The board approved three teacher makeup options for weather-related cancellations (moved by Shelley Maiers; seconded by Brandon Kampman): completing required work on the AEA Learning Management System; taking an unpaid day; or using a personal day. The board noted the measure can be changed later.
Agenda item 7d, Track Project Change Order 2, was tabled with no final action reported. The meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m. The next regular board meeting is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 16, 2024, at 5:30 p.m.
