Summary
At the June meeting the Jefferson School District board approved the consent agenda and several business items including a lease with Jefferson County Head Start, a 2026–27 insurance renewal (with recommended 90% co‑insurance), purchase of student Chromebooks, and an E‑rate wireless project; motions were moved, seconded and recorded as passed.
The Jefferson School District board approved several routine and procurement items during its June meeting.
Consent agenda: The board moved and approved the consent agenda, which included minutes, two appointments, three recommendations, claims and accounts and a donations list; donations for the month totaled $8,300 and year‑to‑date donations totaled $126,521.64.
Employee handbook: The board moved, seconded and approved the 2026–27 employee handbook as presented.
Lease agreement: The board approved the 2026–27 lease agreement between the School District of Jefferson and Jefferson County Head Start (CC2) as presented.
Insurance renewal: Administration recommended renewing the district’s property and casualty insurance for 2026–27 and presented a strategic option to change co‑insurance from 100% to 90% to reduce premiums given the district’s geographic footprint. The board approved the renewal and the recommendation to adopt the 90% co‑insurance design.
Technology procurements: The board approved the purchase of student Chromebooks to support grade‑level replacement cycles, noting supply constraints and about a 20% price increase year‑over‑year. The board also approved an E‑rate wireless project proposal contingent on government reimbursement approval; administration said the district will proceed only after E‑rate approval and estimated district net cost after reimbursement at about $40,000.
Votes on these items were recorded as passed during the meeting; where individual roll‑call or vocal ayes were captured in the transcript, the meeting minutes reflect the recorded affirmations.
