Board approves financial report, permanent appropriations and multiple purchases; consent agenda passes
Summary
The board approved the June 26 financial report, permanent appropriations for fiscal year 26-27, accepted the consent agenda (personnel, minutes, athletic contracts) and authorized equipment purchases and change orders including a snow-equipment trade-in and up to $6,000 for music chairs.
The board approved routine fiscal and operational items including the June 26 financial report, permanent appropriations for FY 26-27, and multiple consent-agenda items covering personnel, contracts and purchases.
Treasurer (Speaker 2) summarized year-end results, saying the fiscal year closed within projections and a forecast review will be provided next month. The chair introduced the treasurers recommendation that the board approve the June 26 financial report as presented; the motion was made, seconded and approved.
The board then approved permanent appropriations by fund for fiscal year 26-27 as presented by the treasurer.
Consent agenda items approved included minutes from the previous meeting; athletic contracts (golf and soccer and potential additional middle-school girls golf pending numbers); certified hires (a one-year contract for Caleb Clayton as ELA teacher and a one-year contract for Zach Lehner as music and band director); classified personnel amendments and substitutes; extended days; student-wellness funds (the treasurer said the fund is approximately $47,000 and must now be shown separately); and resignations. The consent agenda was moved and approved by roll call.
Change orders and purchases authorized included Land Excavating change orders for an access drive at the stadium and an overlay patch for the student drop-off area, with contractor representatives discussing resurfacing depths and a longevity estimate (about 15 years with maintenance). The board also approved a phase-2 renovation change order to paint a life-skills room and install corner protectors, and authorized a trade-in and purchase of a right-sized snow box and the purchase of music chairs from Wanger Corporation for up to $6,000.
Speech-language services: the board approved a contract to hire Kristen Nickel for speech-language services at Saint John's using federal special-education funds, with a cap on hours and cost discussed.
Vote and next steps: each item was moved and approved on the record. The chair announced an executive session later to consider employment matters with no action to be taken afterward.
Why it matters: these approvals set the districts formal fiscal and staffing posture heading into the new school year and authorize capital and operational purchases that affect building readiness.
