District administrators report $160,426.79 insurance increase; sand hauling bid awarded
Summary
Business Manager Angle Holliday reported a 9% insurance increase adding $160,426.79 to district costs. Maintenance and technology reports included a single sand‑hauling bid awarded to Farnsworth Services for $6,816.40 and replacement of speakers and an elementary slide costing $5,029.30.
District administrators reported multiple operational items with budgetary implications during the Feb. 26, 2025 Weston County School District No. 1 board meeting.
Business Manager Angle Holliday told trustees the district's insurance premiums increased by 9%, an increase she quantified as $160,426.79 after meeting with WEBT representatives. The board minutes record the Business Manager’s briefing but do not list immediate budget offsets or additional appropriations.
Maintenance Director Adam Ertman reported the district opened sealed bids for hauling sand; Farnsworth Services was the sole bidder and was awarded the contract at $6,816.40. Ertman also reported the district located a replacement elementary playground slide priced at $5,029.30 with an expected four‑week lead time and that installation will occur upon receipt.
Technology Director Beau Gregory reported replacement of four of six Dogie Dome speakers, with one speaker on back order, and said the district is reviewing proposals for a dual multi‑factor authentication system to improve security once costs are finalized.
These operational updates were presented as informational items; the minutes do not record additional motions tied to these reports. Trustees may address budgetary implications at a later date and the schedule for installation or vendor contracting follows standard district procurement and scheduling processes.
