At its June 9 meeting the Wheeler Central Board of Education approved a 2025–2026 budget amendment, authorized two construction-related invoices totaling $102,531.96, reviewed strategic-planning updates and tabled Policy 5045 for a future meeting.
The Wheeler Central Board of Education voted June 9 to approve a 2025–2026 budget amendment and to authorize two construction-related payments totaling $102,531.96.
Chairperson Jessie Swick called the Budget Amendment Hearing to order at 7:00 p.m. and noted the Open Meetings Act poster was posted as required. Superintendent Dan Kluver presented the proposed 2025–2026 budget amendment to the board.
The board approved the amendment after Board member Drew Kasselder moved to adopt it and Board member Sydney McKay seconded. The roll call vote was Derner — nay; McKay — aye; Andrew Smith — aye; Kasselder — aye; Swick — aye, and the motion carried.
Why it matters: approving the amendment allows the district to reallocate or recognize revenues and expenditures for the current fiscal year so school operations and capital projects can proceed under the revised budget. The board also handled routine business, including presentations and vendor payments tied to building projects.
Other business and votes: the board began its regular meeting at 7:05 p.m. and approved the consent agenda on a unanimous roll call after a motion by Board member Andrew Smith, seconded by Sydney McKay. NASB provided an update on strategic planning; Principal Makayla Reiter and Superintendent Dan Kluver delivered their regular reports; a Board Report was given.
On finance items, the board approved payment of a Wilkins Architecture invoice for $7,100.65 to be paid from Special Building Funds after a motion by Andrew Smith and seconded by Sydney McKay; roll call: Derner — nay; McKay — aye; Smith — aye; Kasselder — aye; Swick — aye. The board also approved a BC Construction invoice for $95,430.31 to be paid from QCPUF Funds on a motion by Drew Kasselder, seconded by Sydney McKay; roll call: Derner — nay; McKay — aye; Smith — aye; Kasselder — aye; Swick — aye.
Policy review: the board reviewed policies 4010, 4011, 4011.1, 5037, 5052 and 5055 and recommended no changes. Policy 5045 was discussed and tabled for consideration at the next meeting.
