Tri-Center Board approves $169,806 high-school roof replacement, GHAEA contracts and two staff resignations
Summary
At a May 27 special meeting the Tri-Center Board of Education unanimously approved a $169,806 bid to replace part of the high school roof, agreements with GHAEA for a school-based interventionist and a multi-year special-education fund-transfer (FY26–FY28), accepted two resignations and awarded a bread bid to Pan-O-Gold.
President Sara Arnold called the Tri-Center Board of Education to order at 8:30 a.m. May 27 in the district boardroom and on Google Meet. The board approved the meeting agenda on a 5-0 vote.
The board awarded several contracts and approvals during the special meeting. Board member Amanda Scherer moved to approve a roofing contract from Elevate Roofing to replace a section of the high school roof for $169,806.00; board member Jeremy VanArsdol seconded and the motion carried 5-0. The board also accepted the bread bid from Pan-O-Gold on a unanimous vote; the transcript does not record the dollar amount for that award.
Superintendent Angela Huseman presented agreements with GHAEA. The board approved an agreement to provide a School-Based Interventionist for the 2025–26 school year and separately approved a contract to transfer funds for special-education support for fiscal years FY26–FY28. Board member Jeremy VanArsdol moved to approve the School-Based Interventionist agreement (seconded by Mike Olsen), and Katie Ausdemore moved to approve the FY26–FY28 fund-transfer contract (seconded by Jeremy VanArsdol); both motions passed 5-0. The transcript names "GHAEA" but does not expand the acronym or provide contract dollar amounts in the meeting record.
On personnel matters the board accepted resignations from associates Linnea Handbury and Miranda Pruett, effective at the completion of the 2024–25 school year. Board member Mike Olsen moved to accept the resignations; Amanda Scherer seconded and the motion carried 5-0.
The board voted to adjourn on a 5-0 vote; the minutes record the meeting ending at 8:38 a.m. (the signature block later in the record lists 8:38 p.m., an apparent typographical inconsistency). The meeting record is signed by Jennifer T. Harder, Business Manager/Board Secretary, and Sara Arnold, Board President.

What this means: The board authorized a capital maintenance project for the high school roof, approved interagency support for student interventions and special-education funding mechanisms for the next three fiscal years, and completed routine personnel housekeeping. The meeting record does not include contract dollar amounts for the bread bid or the GHAEA agreements, nor does it define the GHAEA acronym. The board did not receive any public comment during this special session.
