Trustees approve elections contract, transportation routes and budget transfer; allow supervised hunter‑safety instruction with weapons on campus
Summary
The board approved a Missoula County elections contract to administer district elections, approved family transportation routes with noted street crossings, authorized a year‑end fund transfer into an interlocal agreement, and approved allowing weapons on campus for an organized hunter‑safety class.
The Clinton School District board voted to approve several operational items affecting administration, transportation and safety.
Trustees approved a contract with Missoula County Elections Administration to run district elections, including mailing ballots and conducting official counts. The business manager (S5) explained aspects of the district's year‑end accounting and described how payments tied to the Missoula Area Education Cooperative and IDEA flow‑through appear large on the ledger but are recoded through OPI and are effectively a wash: "So it looks like a huge claim, and we're spending all this money and giving it to them. But in reality, they give it back to us, and it's a wash," she said.
The board approved family transportation routes for the 2025–26 school year and amended the motion to explicitly note bus stops where students must cross roads (East Mullen, Hanley Loop, Neighbor Way, Wallace Creek Road); trustees asked the clerk to add the crossings to the minutes and incorporate the notation into the transportation route language.
Trustees also approved a year‑end general fund expenditure budget and an estimated transfer amount into an interlocal agreement as presented, and they approved allowing supervised weapons on campus solely for hunter‑safety instruction and demonstration in fall 2025.
Board members set follow‑up tasks for August: finalize out‑going out‑of‑district attendance agreements and receive the superintendent's draft language on Policy 36‑30 exceptions.
