Chase County Schools Board President Steve Wallin called the regular meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. on Oct. 14 at the district conference room in Imperial.
Trustees unanimously approved the minutes from the prior meeting. The board then approved general-fund expenditures totaling $893,197.49 after a motion by Willy O'Neil, seconded by Jake Banks; the vote was recorded as unanimous.
The board also voted to close the district’s Bond Fund and QCPUF checking accounts at Adams Bank & Trust and transfer the remaining balances to the General Fund. Jeff Olsen moved the account closures and transfer; Dan Reeves seconded, and the motion passed with every trustee recorded as voting 'Yea.'
On policy matters, trustees adopted the 3000 series of policies and suggested forms from KSB School Law after a motion by Josh Fries, seconded by Willy O'Neil. The board separately approved policy 2005 from the KSB set on a motion by Jeff Olsen, seconded by Willy O'Neil; both policy votes were unanimous.
The board approved the sale of items no longer utilized by the district on a motion by Jeff Olsen, seconded by Cindy Arterburn. The minutes record approval of the sale but do not list the specific items or expected proceeds.
The board considered a quote from Bomba Painting to paint the inside of the auditorium but tabled the item until the next meeting; no further details about the quote or cost appear in the minutes. Separately, trustees discussed two fixed-chair options for the auditorium during a discussion item; no purchase decision is recorded.
