Board approves FFA and athletics field trips, scholarship, hires and facilities work
Summary
At the meeting the board approved a June FFA summer‑camp field trip, a May golf playoff trip, accepted a $1,000 memorial scholarship, approved three personnel contracts, and authorized middle‑school interior painting not to exceed $50,000.
The Wear Sholes School District 51 board took a series of formal actions on routine business and capital maintenance during its meeting.
Field trips: The board granted approval for the FFA summer camp (June 2–6) requested by Miss Ally Kayak and separately approved a golf team trip to Chester for May 12–13 as submitted by Coach Bryant. Both motions were made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Scholarship and personnel: The board accepted the Blair Hellstead Memorial Scholarship — an annual $1,000 award to honor a late student — and approved three personnel contract recommendations for hires at the elementary and high‑school levels for the 2025–26 academic year.
Facilities: The board authorized the Wear Sholes Middle School interior painting and minor repair project, not to exceed $50,000, to be scheduled during the six‑week summer window; the approved scope covers classrooms and the cafeteria, with the gym excluded unless the final price allows its inclusion.
All motions listed above passed by voice vote during the action‑items portion of the agenda. Administration will return updates and documentation for contract awards and the painting project timeline as bids are finalized.
