Renick R-V board accepts resignation, shortens meeting time and updates safety plan
Summary
At its July 16, 2024 regular meeting, the Renick R-V Board of Education accepted a board member resignation, approved the consent agenda and set a tax-rate hearing, moved regular meetings to 6 p.m., updated the safety plan and school handbook meal prices, and authorized a two-week application period to fill the vacancy.
The Renick R-V Board of Education on July 16, 2024 accepted the resignation of board member Kurt McKeown and approved a series of routine and procedural items, including changing the board's regular meeting start time and updating the district safety plan.
Josh Taylor (Chair) called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and the board approved the meeting agenda (Tyler Cleeton moved; Jay Hill second; vote recorded as 5-0). Board members then heard and accepted a resignation letter from Kurt McKeown; the motion to accept the resignation passed 4-1 (the minutes record the opposition but do not identify which member voted against the motion).
The board approved the consent agenda (Tyler Cleeton moved; Richelle Gobel second; 5-0) and set a public tax rate hearing for August 20, 2024 at 5:45 p.m.
Superintendent Jeana Calloway-Hodson proposed changing the regular board meeting start time from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., effective with the August 20 meeting. The motion to adopt the new start time passed unanimously (Tyler Cleeton moved; Richelle Gobel second; 5-0).
The board approved updates to the district safety plan: the administrative contact was changed from Lisa Borden to Superintendent Jeana Calloway-Hodson, and the primary evacuation location was changed from Carpenter Street Baptist Church to Redeemer (noted parenthetically in the minutes as 'old Dr. Park'). The safety-plan motion passed (Richelle Gobel moved; Jay Hill second; 5-0). The board also approved the 2024–25 student/parent handbook, which includes new meal prices (Tyler Cleeton moved; Richelle Gobel second; 5-0).
The board authorized a two-week advertisement to fill the newly opened board seat, accepting applications through July 31, 2024 (Richelle Gobel moved; Tyler Cleeton second; 5-0).
In informational reports, Principal Danell Rice said staff 'back to school week' is scheduled for August 12–16 and provided the 2024–25 professional development calendar. The minutes also list a "Superintendent Report - Lisa" under informational items; this creates an internal inconsistency because the attendance list names Jeana Calloway-Hodson as superintendent and the safety plan explicitly names Jeana as the administrative contact. The minutes do not clarify whether 'Lisa' refers to Lisa Borden (previously referenced in the safety-plan change) or to another individual.
Finance reports, balances by fund, a MOCAAT update and summer maintenance updates were provided as information items with no recorded motions. The board set its next regular meeting for August 20, 2024 at 6:00 p.m., with the tax-rate hearing at 5:45 p.m. Josh Deweese moved to adjourn at 7:57 p.m.; Richelle Gobel seconded and the motion carried (tally recorded as 4-0).
Minutes indicate signatures lines for President and Secretary but do not attach individual signatory names to those titles within the text of the minutes.
