Summary
At its March 19 meeting the Clinton Co. R-III Board approved the 2025-26 school calendar, adopted the consent agenda including a student computer purchase and fund transfer, appointed Tarah Turner as treasurer and Sandy Goad as board secretary, authorized an RFP for an energy performance contract, and moved into closed session.
The Board of Education of the Reorganized School District R-III of Clinton County, Missouri, convened on March 19, 2025, at 6:01 p.m. in the Plattsburg Middle School library. Board President Keith Carnie presided; Vice President Travis Day moved the meeting agenda and the board approved it on a 5-0 vote.
The board unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included minutes from the Feb. 19, 2025 regular meeting, the addition of new substitutes, approval of March bills, an annual student computer purchase for the 2025–26 school year and a transfer of funds from Fund I to Fund II to cover a deficit. The consent agenda also included authorization to hold a closed session at a future meeting under Section 610.021, Revised Statutes of Missouri. Travis Day moved the consent agenda; Michael Burton seconded and the vote was 5-0.
Superintendent Dr. Sandy Steggall gave a brief financial update, reporting that January revenue and expenditures left the district ahead of the previous year at the same point. In a legislative update, Dr. Steggall said an open-enrollment bill passed the Missouri House 88-69 and had been reported to the Senate; she also noted an increase in the minimum teacher salary for the 2025–26 school year and stated that the district’s approved salary schedule meets the new requirement.
On the 2025–26 school calendar, the board approved the staff-recommended option. The calendar schedules a Friday-night graduation on May 15 to avoid a conflict with Mother’s Day, removes two in-year staff work days and adds an afternoon staff work day on May 21. The calendar was approved on a 5-0 vote following a motion by Travis Day and a second by Greg Harris.
Dr. Steggall recommended Tarah Turner be appointed district Treasurer; the board approved the appointment by voice vote (motion by Danny Parra; second by Michael Burton). The board also approved Dr. Steggall’s recommendation to appoint Sandy Goad as Board Secretary (motion by Danny Parra; second by Michael Burton), with both appointments passing 5-0.
The board reviewed an RFP drafted by the district’s legal team to solicit qualified bids for long-range planning and an energy performance contract; the materials noted that the proposal would not require a tax-bond increase. The board authorized moving forward with the RFP process (motion by Travis Day; second by Michael Burton), which passed 5-0.
Dr. Steggall presented certificates to board members in recognition of School Board Recognition Month and thanked them for their service. The board then voted unanimously to enter closed session under Section 610.021, RSMo., subsections 1, 2, 3, 6, 13 and 14; the roll-call vote recorded Carnie, Day, Harris, Parra and Burton as voting Aye.
