Mason Consolidated Schools board approves energy-assessment recommendation and hires middle school athletic director

The Mason Consolidated Schools Board of Education approved, on Sept. 3, 2025, a recommendation related to an agreement with Trane Technologies for a Comprehensive Energy Assessment and approved a Middle School physical education/district athletic director hire.

Presenters Gwen Petit and Dean Weber of Trane Technologies described potential benefits of a guaranteed energy savings performance bond and options revealed in a comprehensive energy assessment for district facilities. The board recorded discussion of potential energy- and cost-saving opportunities but did not disclose contract price or savings estimates in the minutes.

The action items were included on the meeting’s action list and were acted on by the board. The motion to approve the recommendation(s) was made by Smith and supported by England; the minutes record the motion as carried 4-0. The minutes do not list individual roll-call votes by member name for that motion, only the tally. Earlier in the meeting the agenda had been revised to remove an item described as the recommendation to accept the Trane agreement; the minutes nevertheless record action on that recommendation later in the meeting.

The minutes do not specify contract terms, duration, or estimated fiscal impact, and they do not identify the person hired for the Middle School physical education/district athletic director position by name. The board’s recorded votes and motions are reflected in the district minutes; no amendments or conditions to the Trane recommendation or the hire are noted there.

The board’s next regularly scheduled meeting is Oct. 1, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. in the Mason Senior High School Library.
