East Marshall board approves stipend, health and technology contracts ahead of school year
Summary
In a special meeting, the East Marshall board approved a $5,000 maintenance-coordinator stipend and multiple vendor contracts — including athletic training, streaming/technology and mental-health services — and authorized bids for tuck-pointing projects; several items were approved by unanimous board vote.
The East Marshall Community School District board approved a set of personnel and vendor items meant to prepare schools for the new year. By motion and second, the board approved a $5,000 stipend to create a maintenance-coordinator role to centralize vendor coordination, inventory and ordering; staff argued the position would reduce waste and improve preventive maintenance.
The board also approved an $8,200 contract with Sports Plus to provide athletic-training services and a roughly $9,500 annual subscription for BitSpeed (listed in meeting text as "bite speed") to support classroom streaming services and lab replacements. Board members noted limited local provider options for athletic training and that the amounts were within expected ranges.
The board approved a contract with Center Associates to provide mental-health services billed around $100 per hour and capped at about $1,200 per week; staff said services would be provided on referral and would not duplicate Title 19 or Hawkeye funding. The board approved a temporary HR/payroll-sharing agreement (40/30/30 split) for the coming year while the district transitions to a local HR hire.
On facilities-related procurement, the board authorized Tyler to solicit tuck-pointing bids for the middle school and elementary buildings with the option to reject bids depending on bond outcomes. Separately, staff reported the district received a single bid from Woodroofs to replace the high school boiler-room roof at approximately $127,000 plus a 5% contingency; because the boiler-room item was listed as a discussion item for this special meeting, the board deferred final action to the next regular meeting.
Motions on the personnel and contract items carried without recorded opposition. Where motions and seconds were recorded in the meeting, votes were taken by voice with no individual roll-call votes recorded in the transcript.
