Winston County school board approves consent agenda, raises meal prices and clears personnel moves
Summary
At its July 16 meeting the Winston County Board of Education approved a consent agenda that included multiple personnel resignations and hires, awarded vendor bids, authorized purchase-related approval for 10 school buses and approved a meal-price increase tied to state reimbursement changes.
The Winston County Board of Education met July 16 and approved a consent agenda that included multiple personnel actions, procurement awards, a student meal-price increase and authorization tied to a planned purchase of school buses.
Chair called the meeting to order at the start of the session, saying, "it's 5 o' so welcome everybody going call the July 16 2024 Winston County Board of Education meeting order." Mr. Finley, a district staff member, presented the recommendations the board approved by voice vote.
Among the actions the board approved were acceptance of resignations referenced in the record (an employee identified as Rachel; a resignation associated with Brandon High; and A. Elliott, described as professional staff). The board also accepted the retirement referenced in the transcript in connection with an elementary school (transcript phrasing: "De Souther Mar element School"). The transcript does not specify job titles, departments or effective dates for those departures.
The board approved recommendations to employ individuals identified in the record only by first name or partial name (Megan and Scott Flyn); the transcript did not specify their positions or school assignments.
On procurement the board accepted vendor bids for upcoming food and supply contracts (transcript lists vendors/brands including Hershey and Osborne Brothers). The board also voted to approve an authorization related to acquiring 10 safety-lined, 72-passenger school buses; meeting remarks noted the district was not purchasing them immediately and referenced "price 2025," but the transcript does not provide a contract price or delivery schedule.
The board voted to raise school meal prices after staff explained that when state reimbursement increases, the district must adjust its prices. The transcript lists the new meal amounts as breakfast 315 and lunch 465; those figures are recorded in the meeting transcription and are interpreted as $3.15 for breakfast and $4.65 for lunch in this summary.
Most items were approved by voice vote without roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript. No motions in the record included named movers or seconders. The meeting adjourned after the consent actions, with the Chair thanking those in attendance.
The transcript does not include further detail on job assignments for the personnel actions, exact dollar amounts for awarded bids, or a signed contract price and delivery timetable for the buses; those items were referenced in general terms in the meeting but not specified on the record.
