Weeping Water School Board approves bargaining agent and emergency plan, rejects cleaning bid
Summary
The Weeping Water Public Schools board approved several routine items — proclamations, the Weeping Water Education Association as bargaining agent for 2026–27, and an updated emergency operations plan — and voted down a facility-cleaning bid from Heartland Office Cleaners.
The Weeping Water Public Schools Board of Education approved several routine items and rejected a cleaning-services bid at its Oct. 20, 2025, meeting in the district conference room.
The board approved proclamations for American Education Week, National School Lunch Week, Military Family Appreciation Month and Red Ribbon Week after a motion by board member Neil Huskey, seconded by Brandon Nash; the motion passed 5–0. The board also named the Weeping Water Education Association as the district’s bargaining agent for the 2026–27 school year after a motion by Mark Rathe and a second from Betty Harms; that motion likewise passed unanimously.
Board members approved an updated Weeping Water Emergency Operations Plan on a 5–0 vote after a motion from Brandon Nash and seconding by Neil Huskey. The minutes list the district superintendent and building administrators as present: Superintendent Adrian Allen; Secondary Principal Scott Rezac; Elementary Principal Mary Mozena; and Assistant Principal/Athletic Director Michelle Heath.
In procurement business, a motion to accept a bid from Heartland Office Cleaners to provide facility cleaning services — moved by Neil Huskey and seconded by Betty Harms — failed, with the recorded vote showing no affirmative votes (0–5). The minutes record the roll call used in votes and list Adam DeMike and Doug Meyer as absent members for this meeting; the minutes also state that President Adam DeMike called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m., a discrepancy that appears in the published record.
The board approved the consent agenda, including minutes of the previous regular meeting, publication of the meeting notice in the Southeast Nebraska Voice, financial reports and payment of general fund bills; Mark Rathe made the motion to approve the consent agenda, seconded by Betty Harms. The board set its next regular meeting for Nov. 17, 2025.
Under discussion items the minutes list policy revisions to address KSB recommendations, the superintendent’s fall evaluation and a strategic plan for transportation; the published minutes do not include detailed debate or outcomes for those discussion items. Administrative reports from building administrators and the superintendent are listed but not expanded in the minutes.
The meeting minutes close with a signature line for the board secretary; no individual public commenters or additional motions beyond those recorded above appear in the provided excerpt.
