The Arvon Township School Board on Jan. 14, 2025 held its annual reorganization meeting, electing board officers, approving a revised budget and clearing a set of routine operational measures.
M. Deline was nominated and accepted the role of board president. N. Wahmhoff was nominated for vice president (she indicated she would accept if nominated), K. Hendrickson was nominated and accepted the treasurer position, and L. Griffith accepted nomination as secretary. The board recorded the oaths for newly re-elected members M. Deline and L. Griffith.
The board voted unanimously to leave board member pay unchanged from the prior year and to retain the secretary and treasurer as signers on school bank accounts. Members also voted to retain Hungerford Nichols as auditors for the district and to adopt the federal standard mileage rate of $0.70 per mile as set by the Internal Revenue Service. The board set its regular monthly meetings for the second Tuesday of each month at 5:00 p.m., directing that any schedule changes be posted on the school door at least three days before a meeting. The board designated M. Deline as delegate to CCASB with K. Hendrickson as alternate; the transcript does not expand the CCASB acronym.
During the regular session the board approved the agenda and accepted the minutes of the Dec. 10, 2024 meeting. D. Sheldon presented a revised budget, which the board accepted (AIF). Treasurer/financial staff T. Hollon reported total liabilities and equity of $336,764.61.
Lead Teacher K. Waara reported instructional updates: kindergarten through second grade began Heggerty phonemic awareness drills, while grades 3–5 are reading two novels and using daily checklists to reinforce routines and skills. Under old business the board approved the Filter First plan and recorded the sale of the school van for $23,000. The board noted a law-firm policy update and directed staff to review details with the superintendent and return with a vote in February.
Under new business the board reported that the health department inspection was passed. L. Griffith moved, and K. Hendrickson seconded, a motion to postpone forming policy and contract committees until February; the motion carried. An election coordinating committee agreement was reported as signed at the January township meeting.
The board set its next meeting for Feb. 11 at 5:00 p.m. (the transcript lists the year as 2024 in one line; meeting header and other date references indicate the intended year is 2025). The meeting adjourned at 6:00 p.m.
Note: Direct quotations were not recorded in the minutes-style transcript; all motions and outcomes are described as recorded (AIF indicates "all in favor").
