Lancaster Community School District board approves consent agenda; two-bus purchase removed from agenda

LANCASTER, Nov. 13, 2024 — The Lancaster Community School District Board of Education met Nov. 13 and approved its consent agenda before adjourning after a brief, seven-minute meeting.

President Mike Steffel called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and District Administrator Wagner gave a statement of proper notice. The board listed Nate Gallagher, Sara Mumm, Dean Noethe, Chad Olmstead, Gina Rollins, Andrew Taylor and Jerry Vesperman as present; Tanya Moore was listed as absent.

The board approved its consent agenda, which included approval of the Oct. 9, Oct. 16 and Oct. 28, 2024 meeting minutes; the resignation of Brooke Marcue from a second-grade teaching position; an open accounts payable listing of $164,500.35; and paid accounts payable totaling $595,964.24. Chad Olmstead moved to approve the consent agenda and Sara Mumm seconded; the motion passed on a roll-call vote of 8-0-0.

An action item to consider the purchase of two electric buses was struck from the agenda "as no action is requested," according to the amendment to the agenda adopted earlier in the meeting. Because the item was removed, the board took no vote or formal action on acquiring the buses at this meeting.

With no public participation recorded and no additional details offered under the 'Reports' or 'Items for Future Agendas' sections, Dean Noethe moved to adjourn, Nate Gallagher seconded, and the meeting adjourned at 7:07 p.m. on a voice vote of 8-0-0.

Meeting minutes were signed by Board Clerk Dean J. Noethe.
