The Walkerville Public Schools Board of Education approved a package of operational and personnel actions at its Aug. 18, 2025, regular meeting, according to the board’s minutes. The items carried by recorded vote included curriculum materials, vendor contracts, meal‑price updates, an energy pre‑buy and several hires and administrative contracts.
Trustee Michelle Tanner moved to approve the district’s master course schedule for the 2025–26 school year; Secretary Holly Flanery supported the motion, which the minutes record as carrying 6 Ayes, 0 Nays. Tanner also moved the approval of the course description book for 2025–26, supported by Trustee Albert Tanner; the minutes record that motion as 6–0 in favor.
Treasurer John Kirwin moved, supported by Trustee Albert Tanner, to approve Prairie Farms as the district’s milk provider for 2025–26; the motion is recorded as carried, 6–0. Kirwin also moved to set adult meal prices for the coming year: breakfast at $3.12 and lunch at $5.32; the minutes record that motion as approved, 6–0.
On energy procurement, Kirwin moved, supported by Secretary Holly Flanery, to participate in Wesco’s propane program at a pre‑buy price of $1.399 per gallon and to pre‑buy 40,000 gallons for the 2025–26 heating season. The motion is recorded in the minutes as carried, 6–0.
Personnel actions approved by recorded motion include the hire of Scott Sherman as a counselor and Luis Vasquez as custodian/maintenance; both motions were moved by Trustee Michelle Tanner and recorded as carried, 6–0. The board also approved administrative contracts for the following positions: Sheri Boes (Food Service Supervisor); Shawn Burrell (Administrative Assistant); Sandra Oomen (Accountant/Business Manager); Cindi Parker (Transportation Supervisor); Ralph Herrera (Facilities Manager); Marc Pascavis (Athletic Director/Student Support Specialist); Juana Rivera (Administrative Assistant/Assistant Migrant Director/Spanish Teacher); and Yessica Vasquez (Migrant Service Specialist). Albert Tanner moved the contract approvals, supported by Janaya Hood; the minutes record the motion as carried, 6–0. The minutes do not specify contract terms or effective dates.
The agenda listed Superintendent items including 'Operating Renewal 2025–2026' and reviews of the 2025–26 student and staff handbooks; the minutes record these as agenda items but do not include separate motions or recorded vote outcomes for them in the action section.
The minutes also show a discrepancy in the roll‑call attendance: the attendance list names Mark Riggs among those present but also lists 'Absent: Riggs.' The record of motions indicates participation by Treasurer John Kirwin and multiple trustees, and each action item on the minutes is recorded as carrying with six affirmative votes. The minutes do not reconcile the attendance inconsistency or provide individual vote names.
The meeting was called to order by President George Wolgamott at 7:08 p.m. and was adjourned following final comments; the minutes record the adjournment at 8:12 p.m. and show the recorded votes as noted above.
