Summary
At its March 9 meeting the Chariton Community School District board unanimously approved a package of consent items, a FY27 participation agreement with Iowa LGRP, a dishwasher purchase, sharing agreements with Wayne Community School District, a $55,825.48 final pay application and other routine actions.
The Chariton Community School District board met in regular session March 9, 2026, and approved a series of routine consent items and action items affecting facilities, staff assignments and inter-district services. All motions recorded in the transcript passed unanimously, 5-0.
Board President Ryan Dachenbach presided over the meeting held in the administration office board room. Early procedural business included approval of the meeting agenda (moved by Board member Sarah Willis; seconded by Jarid Howell) and a consent agenda that covered minutes, resignations, multiple internal transfers and hires for 2026–27, contract letters of intent, the treasurer’s report and board bills (moved by Ben Johnston; seconded by Deanne Rich). The consent agenda passed 5-0.
In action items the board approved a FY27 participation agreement with Iowa LGRP (moved by Deanne Rich; seconded by Sarah Willis). The transcript records no additional discussion of the agreement’s terms or funding sources.
The board accepted a bid from Wilson Restaurant Supply to purchase a new dishwasher for the middle school (moved by Ben Johnston; seconded by Jarid Howell). No alternate bids or further specification details are recorded in the transcript.
Board members also approved sharing agreements with Wayne Community School District to share the positions of HR Director, Curriculum Director, Maintenance Director and Transportation Director (moved by Sarah Willis; seconded by Ben Johnston). The transcript does not include contract length, cost-sharing details or start dates for those agreements; those specifics were not recorded in the available text.
The board approved Final Pay Application No. 9 to Mid‑American Golf and Landscape in the amount of $55,825.48 (moved by Sarah Willis; seconded by Deanne Rich). The transcript identifies the payment amount exactly and records the board’s unanimous approval.
The board approved a Final Acceptance Resolution for the Reynolds Field Project (moved by Jarid Howell; seconded by Ben Johnston) with a reservation: the motion and vote were conditioned on verification of the dollar amount associated with final acceptance. The transcript notes the requirement to verify the amount but does not record the verified figure.
The board also approved a Special Education Instructional Coach job description (moved by Deanne Rich; seconded by Sarah Willis). The transcript records approval but does not include the text of the job description or implementation timeline.
Reports to the board included a High School Principal/AD report from Mr. Milledge and a Middle School Principal report from Mr. Schwarte; Superintendent Brad Baker and Board President Ryan Dachenbach also delivered reports. The transcript does not provide the content of those reports. The meeting adjourned at 6:50 p.m. on a motion by Sarah Willis, seconded by Jarid Howell (motion carried 5-0).
What to watch next: the Reynolds Field Project final acceptance remains subject to verification of the final dollar amount; the transcript does not state when that verification will occur or who will report it back to the board.
