Stanton Community School District board approves construction contract, Chromebook purchase and fund transfers
Summary
At its June 10 meeting the Stanton Community School District Board approved a final construction contract with Hausmann Construction, authorized a $30,610.75 Chromebook purchase from CDW‑G, removed the open‑enrollment cap for the Class of 2030, and approved a $7,542.70 transfer to cover athletic protective equipment.
The Stanton Community School District Board of Directors met on June 10, 2026, in the district cafeteria and approved a series of contracts and budget moves affecting construction, technology and athletics. President Cameron Lewellen called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.; Directors John McDonald, Ryan Hart and Jackie Hoyt were present and Director Zach Ward was absent.
The board approved the final construction contract with Hausmann Construction following a presentation by KPE and Hausmann representatives about the ongoing project. Director John McDonald moved to approve the contract; Director Jackie Hoyt seconded the motion and the board voted unanimously in favor. During the presentation the contractors asked the board to decide the location of an existing monument and to choose door and tile colors; the board declined to replace gym ceiling tiles at this time because of significant cost increases. McDonald also asked that KPE review and update the project Feasibility Assessment after completion.
The board approved several vendor agreements and personnel items. Motions approved included a Hudl agreement for $11,500 (motion by McDonald, second by Hart), an agreement with Kinum Debt Collection Service for $955 (motion by Hoyt, second by Hart), and approval of a $1,400 stipend for a returning special-education teacher (motion by Hart, second by McDonald). The board accepted multiple resignations and approved hires including athletics and student-council coaches and temporary summer staff.
The board considered technology quotes for Chromebook upgrades for the 2026–2027 school year. Quotes were received from CDW‑G ($30,610.75) and Boeye Tech and Design ($33,986). Director John McDonald moved to purchase from CDW‑G for $30,610.75; Director Jackie Hoyt seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.
School Business Official Stephanie Burke reported the district athletic fund had a negative balance of $9,852.78 as of May 30, 2026. To address equipment shortfalls, the board approved Resolution FY26, authorizing a transfer of $7,542.70 from the General Fund to the Student Activity Fund to reimburse protective and safety equipment purchases for extracurricular athletics incurred between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026 (motion by Ryan Hart, second by John McDonald). The board also voted to transfer remaining Class of 2026 fund balances into the athletic fund.
The board removed the cap on open enrollment for the Class of 2030 (motion by McDonald, second by Hart). Superintendent David Gute said past applications cannot be considered and that families seeking open enrollment for the 2027–2028 school year must submit new applications by March 1, 2027.
Finally, the board directed School Business Official Stephanie Burke to pay any outstanding FY2026 bills and noted bills will be presented to the board in July 2026 (motion by McDonald, second by Hart). President Lewellen adjourned the meeting at 6:45 p.m.; the next regular meeting is scheduled for July 8, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.
