Hennessey board approves consent agenda after removing Head Start food-service item
Summary
The Hennessey Public Schools board unanimously approved its consent agenda on Aug. 11, 2025, removing item 3.8 (the Big Five Head Start food-service agreement) before passage. The consent package included minutes, financial summaries, purchase orders, fundraisers and contracts for services, including a psychological-services contract with Danielle Torres.
The Hennessey Public Schools Board of Education voted unanimously Aug. 11 to approve its consent agenda after taking item 3.8 off the list.
Board President James Matousek moved to approve the consent agenda with item 3.8 removed; Luke Lough seconded the motion. The motion carried on a 5–0 vote with Matousek, Dakota Semrad (vice president), Lough, Amy Charmasson (clerk) and Lance Painter voting yes.
The items approved in the consent package included the minutes of the July 14, 2025 regular meeting; the summary of financial activities and activity fund summary as of July 31, 2025; purchase orders and encumbrances (General Fund PO# 190-230; Bond Fund PO# 1-2); fundraisers for the 2025–2026 school year; and contracts and agreements such as a contract with Danielle Torres to provide psychological services for Hennessey Public Schools for 2025–2026, an agreement with the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology for 2025–2026, and an agreement to furnish food service between Eagles Nest Daycare and Hennessey Public Schools for 2025–2026.
The consent item listing also included an agreement with Big Five Head Start (item 3.8) that the board removed from the consent motion; the transcript does not record further discussion or the reason for removal.
Next steps: the board moved on to regular business items after approving the consent agenda and did not revisit item 3.8 in the recorded transcript.
