Board discusses facility-use insurance, after-school pay, MOU and bus/construction updates
Summary
Board members reviewed a proposed facilities-use policy and attorney guidance on insurance, considered raising after-school tutor pay to $30/hour, approved routine consent/personnel items, and heard updates about construction, bus repairs and a possible federal rural-health grant.
During new business the board considered several administrative items: an MOU with the Webster County Family Resource Network, a proposed increase in after-school tutor pay to $30 per hour, proposed Policy 7510 (use of district facilities) and new Policy 5340 (students' accidents) for public comment.
Superintendent summarized attorney guidance that a proposed $1,000,000 liability-coverage requirement for facility use may not apply to small unorganized community events; he said the district may post Policy 7510 for comment and expects to refine the language. Board members also asked staff to check whether increasing tutor pay would require reposting contracted positions. On operations, the superintendent reported HVAC and door-glass delays for a construction project, temporary portable heaters in use, a loaner bus from Nicholas County while a district bus awaits parts, and that pre-bid documents for a bus-garage project will open bids in November. The superintendent said he and others were pursuing a federal rural-health grant the superintendent described as a program that could distribute roughly "$500,000,000" across states and counties; he did not provide further detail at the meeting. Personnel items (volunteer coaches, substitutes, leaves of absence) were listed for board action during the personnel portion of the meeting.
