Summary
At its Nov. 18 meeting in Winona, the Elm River Township School Board approved a $25,000 cap for future playground equipment and a $50 volunteer gift, reviewed a $66,500 quote for a new bus garage, and recorded that ERTSD will no longer be covered by CCISD policies, with Thrun Law noted in the minutes.
The Elm River Township School Board on Nov. 18 approved a $25,000 cap for future playground equipment and approved a $50 gift for volunteer Paulette Archambeau, while also reviewing a $66,500 quote for a new bus garage and recording a change in policy coverage.
Board member Jim Plutchak moved to approve the agenda at the start of the meeting and later moved to approve the prior minutes and the financial report, all motions carried after seconds from other board members. The minutes record there were no visitors and that a teacher report was available for review.
The board approved the $25,000 cap for playground equipment after a motion from Jim Plutchak, seconded by Linda Lajeunesse. The minutes do not show a roll-call vote; they note the motion carried. The board also approved a $50 gift for Paulette Archambeau "in appreciation for her work in promoting the annual school holiday raffle," with the minutes recording all in favor.
Under new business, the minutes state that "ERTSD will no longer be covered by CCISD policies and procedures" and note Thrun Law in the same item. The minutes do not specify what coverage change entails, what "CCISD" specifically refers to in this record, nor what services or scope are expected from Thrun Law; those details were not provided in the minutes.
The board reviewed a quote of $66,500 from Sivonen Construction for a new bus garage and is awaiting a competing estimate from Sleeman Construction. No action approving construction was recorded at the meeting; the quote was presented for the board's consideration.
The board announced that annual holiday raffle tickets were distributed and that donations are needed to support the raffle. The meeting closed after setting the next meeting for Dec. 16 at 6:00 p.m.; Jim Plutchak moved to adjourn at 6:35 p.m., and Linda Lajeunesse seconded.
Votes and routine approvals recorded in the minutes — agenda approval, prior minutes, financial report, the playground cap and the $50 gift — are noted as carried in the minutes but are recorded without roll-call tallies or individual recorded votes.
