Summary
At its Dec. 18 meeting the Clarksville Community School District board approved a Resolution of Intent to participate in the Instructional Support Levy and set a public hearing for Jan. 20, 2025; the board also approved a $126,097 school bus purchase and $106,016.71 in safety cameras paid from a school safety grant.
The Clarksville Community School District Board of Education approved a slate of routine and budgetary measures at its Dec. 18, 2024 regular meeting in Room #109.
Board President Justin Clark called the meeting to order at 4:06 p.m. The board approved the meeting agenda, November 2024 minutes, and the November financial reports and December bills by unanimous vote. Superintendent Bryan Boysen and district administrators were present.
The board approved personnel recommendations including hiring Hailey Siems for food service at $13.50 per hour, accepting Roger Peters as a volunteer for the welding club, and accepting the resignation of associate Abby Hinders.
On district policy, the board recorded a unanimous vote to accept the first reading of the 400 series (Staff Personnel) and board policy 503.08, which addresses discipline of students who make threats of violence or cause incidents of violence. The board also approved amendments to student handbooks as presented.
The board moved to approve a Resolution of Intent to participate in the Instructional Support Levy (ISL) program and set a public hearing for Jan. 20, 2025 at 5:30 p.m. in Room #109. The minutes record the roll for that item as “Ayes – Clark, Barnett, Kampman, Backer, Maiers; Nays – none.” Earlier in the meeting the minutes list Shelley Maiers as absent, creating an inconsistency in the attendance record and the roll recorded for the ISL vote.
The board approved purchase of a new gas school bus from School Bus Sales for $126,097 and unanimously approved an amendment to the Hawkeye Community College service agreement. A quote from Riverside Technologies Inc. for safety cameras totaling $106,016.71 was approved to be paid from the School Safety Grant.
