Board hears band trailer funding request, approves consent agenda including fingerprinting machine
Summary
Board members discussed funding for a second band trailer and the purchase of an on-site fingerprinting machine; the full consent agenda including those items was approved unanimously.
During the superintendent’s report, board member Ms. Griffith asked about the status of purchasing a second trailer for the marching band. Mr. Sexton said the music boosters had $5,000 available toward a trailer and that Mr. McCalla, the music instructor, was requesting $8,000 from the board to complete the purchase.
Ms. Griffith also questioned purchasing an on-site fingerprinting machine to speed BCI/FBI background checks. Mr. Sexton said a district-owned fingerprinting machine would allow staff and volunteers to obtain checks locally, reduce costs for users and produce reports faster than relying on the Southern Ohio Educational Service Center or sheriff’s department.
Both the recommendation to approve a music trailer and the recommendation to approve purchase of a fingerprinting machine were included in a multi-item consent agenda (personnel changes, equipment and leaves). Ms. Griffith moved to approve the superintendent’s consent agenda; Mrs. Sanderson seconded and a roll-call vote was unanimous in favor.
Why it matters: a second trailer would help transport instruments for away performances; an on-site fingerprinting machine could streamline volunteer onboarding and staff background checks.
What happens next: Mr. Sexton and district staff will pursue cost estimates and logistics related to the trailer and the fingerprinting machine; the consent agenda items are authorized for implementation.
