Maries R-1 board approves routine business, adds substitute and accepts financial reports
Summary
The board approved the agenda and minutes, accepted bills and financial reports, added Jayden Schell to the substitute list, and heard administrative reports; Matt Novak abstained on check #7716.
At its Jan. 27, 2026 meeting the Maries R-1 School Board approved routine business items including the agenda (as amended) and the Dec. 16, 2025 minutes. The board approved the bills and direct deposit list; the motion was seconded by Kevin Heavin and recorded as passing 6-0, with Matt Novak abstaining specifically on check #7716.
Under old business the board voted to add Jayden Schell to the district substitute list (motion recorded in the minutes as passing 7-0). The minutes list “Others” in attendance including Paula Schwartze and Alin Hett and note administrative reports delivered by Superintendent Teresa Messersmith, Elementary administrator Shanda Snodgrass, HS/MS administrator Tim Metcalf and Special Education administrator Joe Edwards. The transcript does not provide the text of those administrative reports.
These actions are recorded as routine governance and fiscal oversight; the meeting moved one personnel item (the superintendent contract/evaluation) to closed session later in the agenda.
