Lincoln K‑12 board accepts several resignations, approves clerk payment authority and discusses benefits and summer tech contract
Summary
The board accepted multiple staff resignation letters, approved the district clerk’s authority to pay routine May/June bills, discussed a summer tech contract, and heard staff updates on a reduced health‑care increase and the district’s summer food program.
The Lincoln K‑12 Schools board approved several personnel and administrative measures, including acceptance of resignation letters, temporary authorization for the clerk to pay routine bills in May and June, and discussion of a formal summer technology contract.
Board members approved letters of resignation for staff including Marlene Lumpkin, Loretta Greeno, Stacy Mannix and Jackie Grantier after motions and seconds were offered and voice assent recorded. Public commenters and board members expressed appreciation for departing staff; speakers praised Stacy Mannix for her classroom work and student relationships.
The board also voted to authorize the district clerk to pay routine bills for May and June ahead of meetings, a step staff said will help process invoices that arrive in a flurry. “We just need approval for that on the board,” the presenting staff member said (speaker S3). The motion was moved and seconded and carried on voice assent.
Personnel actions included recommending an elementary basketball coach (transcript uses both spellings 'Curtis Jansen' and 'Curtis Jackson' in discussion). A motion to appoint was made and seconded; public comment offered brief support.
On benefits and operations, staff reported the district’s health‑care renewal with the carrier 'Must' initially showed a 9% increase; after negotiations the increase was reduced by two percentage points to about 7%, with the number of plan options consolidated so the district will offer two low‑deductible and two high‑deductible plans and transition one employee off a single‑enrollee option.
Staff also reported that the district was approved for the Summer Food Service Program, which will provide meals six Wednesdays over the summer with eligible children (age 18 and younger) able to pick up up to four days’ worth of meals on those days. Separately, the board discussed formalizing a summer technology contract to replace a prior verbal understanding for remote and on‑site device maintenance; the contract formalizes duties that the summer tech has historically performed.
Next steps: staff will prepare written confirmations for the clerk payment authorization and finalize the summer tech agreement for board review.
