Scobey K-12 board accepts $112,843 roof bid, approves handbooks, routes and personnel hires
Summary
The Scobey K-12 Schools board accepted a $112,843 bid from Dale Brothers for a 90-mil roof on the elementary and music buildings, approved related membrane-prep work (about $23,000), and signed off on handbooks, attendance agreements, bus routes and several hires for 2025–26.
The Scobey K-12 Schools board voted to accept a $112,843 bid from Dale Brothers to replace the elementary- and music-building roofs and approved related membrane-prep work and several routine items for the 2025–26 school year.
The motion to accept the Dale Brothers option 2 bid for a 90‑mil system was made by a committee member (S7) and seconded; the board approved the contract by voice vote. During discussion, a presenter (S6) emphasized that bid specifications must include Montana prevailing-wage requirements and proof of insurance and bonding. “Montana also requires prevailing wages for any public works,” S6 said, warning that omitting the language can expose the district to claims by workers.
The board also approved an approximate $23,000 membrane-prep cost for the elementary roof section so the contractor can install two layers as specified. The presenter described warranties and life-expectancy differences among membrane options, noting that thicker membranes carry longer material warranties and hail coverage.
In the same meeting the board approved several routine administrative items: recommended handbook changes for the 2025–26 school year, attendance agreements for several out-of-district students, and bus routes for 2025–26. The board approved hiring Skip Baldy and Peyton Lybrand as bus drivers pending background checks and endorsement completion, and approved paraprofessionals Kylie Anderson and Ariana Anderberg, also pending background checks. Assistant coaching assignments for the high school and junior high were approved as presented.
