Scobey K-12 board approves new bank signatories, pays sidewalk overage and hires staff for 2025–26
Summary
Trustees approved a resolution to add bank signatories for credit-card processing, authorized payment for an overage on sidewalk work, contracted cleaning services, and approved hires including two student custodians and a food-service employee pending background check.
The Scobey K-12 Schools board approved a package of operational actions, including a resolution naming new bank account signatories for credit-card transactions, payment of an overage on sidewalk construction, a cleaning contract for the 2025–26 school year, and several personnel hires.
A staff member (S2) opened discussion on payment processing, saying "So RevTrack disappeared," and recommending the district work through the bank with a new credit-card vendor to handle school-lunch deposits. A committee member (S4) moved to approve a resolution naming Tim Handy, Greg Hardy, Caitlin Muir, John Anderson and Coleen Curie on the account; the motion was seconded and the transcript records affirmative votes.
The trustees approved paying an overage on recently completed sidewalk work after members said the contractor used thicker concrete and removed more material than expected. One board member described the overage as "about $11,500" over the original quote during the discussion; trustees moved and approved payment to the contractor referred to in the meeting as Scott.
The board also approved a contract for cleaning services with 'Erica' for the 2025–26 school year. Trustees discussed scope — elementary bathrooms, commons areas and extra cleaning after games — and recorded the contract motion as approved.
Personnel actions included hiring Sun Hall and Parker Hall as student custodians for the remainder of the 2025–26 school year. Trustees also voted to hire Ashley Olsen as a food-service employee for 2025–26, pending a satisfactory background check. During that discussion trustees noted the food-service account currently holds sufficient cash balances (described in the meeting as "cash heavy since COVID") and said those funds would be used to pay the new hire.
All actions described above were moved, seconded and recorded as approved in the meeting transcript. The board concluded with no further public comment and brief closing remarks.
The board did not at this meeting change district policy; several operational follow-ups (finalizing contracts and completing background checks) were assigned to staff.
