Caldwell USD 360 board approves audit contract, adopts KASB policy updates and approves district purchases
Summary
The Caldwell USD 360 Board of Education approved a three-year audit agreement with BKD CPA, adopted KASB policy updates (IKD/IKDA), approved an enrollment report and consent items, and approved purchase of a 2024 Ram Transit van; several routine business items were passed by unanimous recorded votes in the minutes.
At its Feb. 9 meeting the Caldwell Unified School District No. 360 Board of Education approved a package of routine business items, including a three-year audit services agreement, policy updates, enrollment reporting and a vehicle purchase.
The board approved a three-year contract with BKD CPA for audit services on a motion by Andrea Palmer, seconded by Kordell Kattenberg; the minutes record the vote as 6-0. The board also took a second reading and adopted KASB policy updates related to religion in curricular or school-sponsored activities (IKD) and activity participation opt-out/objection forms (IKDA) on a motion by Kordell Kattenberg, seconded by Eric Eaton; minutes show a 6-0 vote.
Among consent agenda and business items the board approved the USD 360 enrollment projection and non-resident enrollment report (motion by Kordell Kattenberg, seconded by Laura Ireland; 6-0), granted permission for Caldwell Recreation to use the district FACS room for summer cooking and sewing classes (motion by Eric Eaton, seconded by Kordell Kattenberg; 6-0), and recorded a personnel transfer for Anniston Lee from paraprofessional to daycare caregiver effective Feb. 2, 2026. The minutes also record a request from Mrs. Potts to dispose of an old vinyl cutter via the Bluejay Outlet; that disposal request was listed for board action in the minutes.
The board approved purchase of a 2024 Ram Transit van on a motion by Board President Darren McDorman, seconded by Laura Ireland; the minutes record the vote as 7-0. The segment does not list a purchase price. The minutes also elsewhere document that one board member (Jake Ginn) was absent from the meeting; the minutes therefore contain an internal inconsistency between reported attendance and the vehicle vote tally.
Superintendent Traci Becker also discussed the KSDE Accountability Report required by statute and stated the report will be posted on the district website. The board recognized students and staff achievements, including Keelen Eaton for powerlifting and Staci Schmidt for receiving the Golden Apple Award; Schmidt is scheduled to appear on KAKE News.
The board adjourned at 8:12 p.m.; the minutes record the final adjournment motion by Eric Eaton, seconded by Kordell Kattenberg with a 6-0 vote.
