Annette Island School District board approves hires, contracts and equipment purchases
Summary
The Annette Island School District Board approved a slate of hires, contracts and purchases — including instructional and classified staff, a speech‑services contract and a $22,500 lawn tractor — and advanced the FY27 operating budget for state submission.
The Annette Island School District Board approved action items 1 through 17 by voice vote, authorizing a group of personnel hires, service contracts and equipment purchases.
A board member moved "I can make a motion to approve action item 1 through 17," and the motion was seconded and approved. The board recorded scholarship recipients for 2025‑26 and approved multiple staffing items listed on the agenda — certified hires (including David Hamilton and Robert Ferguson), classified staff and paraprofessionals, summer reading staff and a long‑term substitute assignment. The board also approved extra‑duty assignments for FY27 and summer staff positions.
The board approved several service agreements and cooperative payments already identified in the public packet: a professional services agreement between the Annette Island School District and Heart 2 Heart Expressions for hybrid speech‑language pathology services; an IT services contract for $65,000 and e‑rate management services for $7,627.11; and a CERC Federal Programs Cooperative Services payment of $27,255. The board also approved a professional services agreement with Sea Alaska Heritage Institute and authorized an MOA for Fort Lewis College and an MOA with the Alaska Council of School Administrators for a Teacher Workforce Development Initiative.
Capital and equipment approvals included the purchase of a John Deere lawn tractor with accessories for $22,500 and awarding design and engineering services to Envision Architecture of Anchorage for upcoming capital improvement planning. The board also authorized entry into an engineering/architectural services contract to support a multi‑year CIP water‑main planning effort.
Meeting minutes show these actions were approved by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the public transcript. After the approvals the board moved toward executive session to discuss finance.
What happens next: several of the approved contracts and hires will be finalized by district staff, and the FY27 budget will proceed through the remaining administrative steps described during the meeting.
