Summary
The Elma School District board unanimously approved minutes and the meeting agenda, accepted donations of playground equipment from the PTA and wrestling mats from the wrestling booster club, set a July 22 budget hearing and discussed an August board retreat.
The Elma School District board met and voted to approve prior meeting minutes, adopt the meeting agenda and accept two donor contributions: playground equipment from the PTA and wrestling mats from the wrestling booster club.
The meeting opened with Chair (S2) calling the session to order and leading the Pledge of Allegiance. Chair (S2) then asked for a motion to excuse board members Bailey and Smith; Board member (S1) moved to excuse them, a motion was seconded and the board approved the excusal by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
In routine business, Board member (S3) moved to approve the minutes for June 24 and June 30, 2026; Board member (S1) seconded, and Chair (S2) called a voice vote that carried without recorded opposition. The board also approved the meeting agenda and the consent agenda by voice vote.
During new business, members considered two gifts. Board member (S3) moved to accept a PTA donation of playground equipment; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Later, Board member (S1) moved to accept a donation of wrestling mats from the wrestling booster club; the motion was seconded and the board approved the donation. "That was a very generous donation, by the way, just to note," Board member (S1) said in response to the booster club gift.
Chair (S2) announced a budget hearing scheduled for July 22 at 5:30 p.m. and noted the board is planning a retreat likely in the first or second week of August, asking members to check availability because July is difficult for forming a quorum. There were no public comments recorded.
The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn carried by voice vote.
