Stoutland R-II board approves two contracts, updates bank signers and moves to executive session
Summary
At its Aug. 22 meeting the Stoutland R-II Board of Education voted unanimously to contract with The Discovery School and Advantage Nursing, changed district bank signers, and entered an executive session on student and personnel matters; the transcript does not list contract terms.
The Stoutland R-II Board of Education on Aug. 22 unanimously approved agreements with The Discovery School and with Advantage Nursing, authorized changes to district bank account signers and voted to enter an executive session to discuss student and personnel matters.
President Joe Miller called the regular meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. The agenda was approved on a 6-0 vote before board member Josh Kincaid arrived; subsequent motions were carried unanimously 7-0 after his arrival at 6:43 p.m.
Missy Miller moved to authorize an agreement with The Discovery School for the 2024–25 school year to permit students to attend that tuition-based program; Shawn Henson seconded the motion, which passed 7-0. The transcript records the board’s approval but does not specify contract cost, the number of students affected or duration beyond the 2024–25 school year.
The board then approved an agreement with Advantage Nursing for services to be provided as needed by the Federal Program Director during the 2024–25 school year. Shawn Henson moved and Josh Kincaid seconded the motion; it passed 7-0. The transcript does not include detailed service terms or fee schedules for the Advantage Nursing agreement.
On financial business, the board voted to remove Kim Oliver as a signer on the district bank account (motion by Shawn Henson, second by Dustin Britzman) and then voted to add Amy Perrine as a signer (motion by Dustin Britzman, second by Missy Miller). Both motions passed 7-0. The public minutes do not identify the bank name or other signature authorizations beyond these changes.
Board business also included routine approvals: the consent agenda (minutes, bills, payroll/fund transfers, bank balances and investments, and an amendment of the FY24 budget to FY24 actual) was approved 6-0 before Kincaid’s arrival. The Superintendent’s and administrators’ reports were approved 7-0.
Shawn Henson moved, and Josh Kincaid seconded, that the board enter executive session at 7:27 p.m. under Missouri Law Section 610.021(3) and (13) to discuss student matters and personnel (hiring, firing, disciplining and/or promotion). The motion passed 7-0. The public transcript records the board’s entry into executive session but contains no content from that closed session. The meeting reconvened and was adjourned at 8:21 p.m.
The agenda included introductions of new staff (Meagan Black, Lisa Jackson and Abigayle Vogel) and a “Tiger Spotlight” recognition of the Barclay family; no public comments are recorded in the available transcript. The transcript also lists district administrators present, including Superintendent Eric Shaw and CFO Cari Pendergrass.
The transcript does not provide financial amounts or operational details for the approved contracts; those specifics are not recorded in the public minutes and would need to be obtained from the district or the contracts themselves for further reporting.
