Kenowa Hills Public Schools board calls May 7 special election, approves consent agenda and authorizes property purchase
Summary
At its Feb. 12 Committee of the Whole meeting the Kenowa Hills Public Schools Board of Education unanimously approved a consent agenda including routine expenditures, adopted a resolution calling a special school election for May 7, 2024, and authorized the superintendent to purchase real property.
The Kenowa Hills Public Schools Board of Education on Feb. 12 unanimously approved a consent agenda of routine minutes and expenditures, adopted a resolution calling a special school election for May 7, 2024, and authorized Superintendent Hopkins to purchase real property.
Member Hart moved and Member Robinson seconded approval of the consent agenda, which passed 7-0. The minutes list the January 2024 General Fund expenditures as $874,937.32 (checks #81855–81994 and payrolls dated Jan. 12 and 26), plus School Lunch Fund expenditures of $15,796.94 (checks #11081–11095), Capital Project expenditures of $13,658.49 (check #6), 2020 Building and Sites expenditures of $709,041.10 (checks #26–28), 2022 Building and Sites expenditures of $1,282,359.81 (checks #10–12) and Student Activity expenditures of $8,417.94 (checks #97086–97097). The minutes identify these items as part of the consent agenda but do not provide additional explanatory detail in the text.
Later in the meeting Member Hart moved and Member Gustinis seconded adoption of a resolution calling a special school election for Tuesday, May 7, 2024; the motion carried 7-0. The minutes read "Mary 7, 2024"; this article corrects that date to May 7, 2024. The minutes do not state the subject matter or ballot language for the special election.
Member Turner moved and Member Roberts seconded a motion authorizing Superintendent Hopkins to purchase real property as described in Report #24-015; the motion carried 7-0. The minutes reference the resolution and report number but do not include the property address, terms, or purchase price in the meeting text.
The board also approved routine minutes from a Feb. 5 special meeting. The Feb. 12 minutes list upcoming meetings and note that no public comments were made during this session.
Next steps: the minutes record adoption of the election resolution and authorization to proceed with the property purchase; the record available in these minutes does not show ballot language for the election or terms of the property transaction, so further public documents or a future board meeting packet are likely to provide those details.
