Board approves consent agenda; places 2.5 cap on seismic agreement
Summary
The Monroe SD 1J board approved the consent agenda including several hires and cooperative sponsorships, and a committee member successfully added a cap — “will not exceed 2.5” — on the proposed seismic agreement; the motion carried by voice vote.
The Monroe School District 1J board on Tuesday approved its consent agenda, which included multiple hires and volunteer coach appointments, and agreed to a limit on a pending seismic-contract commitment.
Committee member (S1) moved to approve the consent agenda "with the caveat that the seismic agreement will not exceed 2.5," and the board voiced its approval. The consent items announced by the chair (S2) included the hire of educational assistants (Jasmine Knighton, Sharon Wong), National Honor Society co-advisers (Jenna John and Amy Thornburg), Smile Club co-advisers (Marie Louise Martinson and Olivia Ferreiro), and volunteer middle-school girls basketball coaches (Logan Rutherford and Natalie Payne).
Board members asked a clarifying question about repair responsibilities for district Chromebooks versus leased devices; Committee member (S1) asked whether lease agreements require the district to repair devices it does not own, and staff (S3) said the mix of owned versus leased devices makes it unclear and recommended checking the lease. No precise cost or lease terms were provided during the meeting.
The motion to approve the consent agenda carried on a voice vote. The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
