Grady Board unanimously approves revised calendar, expands Llano Estacado online grades; several items deferred
Summary
At its Oct. 21 meeting the Grady Municipal School Board approved a revised district calendar and expansion of grade levels for Llano Estacado Online School by 4-0 votes, discussed medication-dispensing, Ag Barn electrical and a bus canopy without taking action, and met in executive session on personnel.
The Grady Municipal School Board on Oct. 21, 2024 approved a revision to the district school calendar and authorized an expansion of grade levels for Llano Estacado Online School, both by 4-0 votes during the regular meeting in the district boardroom.
Why it matters: The approved calendar sets the district schedule for students and staff for the coming term, and expanding grade levels at Llano Estacado Online School increases options for remote instruction available to local students.
Board actions and votes: Phillip Borden moved to approve the calendar revision; Kathy Edwards seconded and the motion carried 4-0. Chantry Borden moved to approve the expansion of grade levels for Llano Estacado Online School; Phillip Borden seconded and the motion carried 4-0. The consent agenda (minutes, check registers, budget transfers and utility comparison) was also approved 4-0 after a motion by Chantry Borden and a second from Kathy Edwards.
Items discussed but not acted on included a proposal to allow dispensing medication at Grady School, approval of electrical work in the agricultural barn, and a proposed bus canopy; the board heard these items during the agenda but took no formal votes on them. Athletic Coordinator Les Ciancio, Principal Michell Edwards and Superintendent Keith Durham presented reports to the board; the minutes note the reports without expanded detail in the transcript.
Personnel matters: The board entered executive session to discuss limited personnel matters under the cited statutory authority (10-15-1). Kathy Edwards moved to enter closed session at 7:14 p.m.; Chantry Borden seconded and roll call votes were recorded. The board returned to open session at 7:49 p.m.
Adjournment: Phillip Borden moved to adjourn the meeting; Chantry Borden seconded. The meeting adjourned at 7:50 p.m.
What was not in the record: The transcript records that teachers Naiomi Starbuck, Alicia Rush and Kayla Lee presented during the limited public forum, but does not provide the content of that presentation in the minutes. Details for the athletic, principal and superintendent reports are similarly summarized without expanded text in the published minutes.
