Fowler board approves activity-bus agreement, dual-credit scholarship and storm-damage roofing repairs
Summary
At its Sept. 9 meeting, the Fowler Public Schools Board of Education unanimously approved an activity bus use agreement with USD 226 Meade, a dual-credit scholarship for a student, acceptance of a storm-damage roofing bid, and several routine consent items and reports.
Chair TJ Milford called the Fowler Public Schools Board of Education to order at 7 p.m. Sept. 9 at Fowler Elementary School. The board unanimously adopted the evening’s agenda and moved through several reports and votes on district business.
The board approved an activity bus use agreement with USD 226 Meade, a dual-credit scholarship application submitted by student Draylan Dawson, and acceptance of a bid from Neudorf Siding and Windows for storm-damage roofing repairs to district houses and the football field shed. All motions that recorded votes were carried 6-0.
Why it matters: The activity-bus agreement affects interdistrict transportation for school activities; the scholarship enables a student to pursue dual-credit coursework; and the accepted roofing bid directs funding and contractor selection for storm repairs to district property. Board members also received reports on KASB policy updates, an administrative assistant job description, elementary music programming, health insurance rates and budget projections.
Meeting actions and context: Chair TJ Milford opened the meeting; Travis Sutterfield moved (seconded by Dana Bartezko) to adopt the agenda. Under communications, a representative from Ozone Roofing presented a bid to the board; no action on that bid is recorded in the minutes.
