Holcomb USD 363 board approves routine contracts, program renewals and an HRC appointment
Summary
The board approved multiple routine items including student drug-testing and overnight trip contracts, handbook updates, a $4,000 donation for pickleball courts, continued participation in the federal lunch program and the appointment of Jordan Walk to the Holcomb Rec Commission.
The USD 363 Board of Education approved a slate of routine business items during its meeting, including annual contract renewals, program approvals and a community appointment.
The board renewed the student drug‑testing contract with Sports Safe Testing Services for $5,760, noting nine annual visits with 15–20 students tested and 10 positive results last year (eight repeats). It approved an overnight trip for the high‑school wrestling program to Gothenburg, Nebraska, on June 27, with the district responsible only for transportation.
Three handbooks (faculty, substitute teacher and evaluation) were approved with minor date and name updates. The board accepted a $4,000 donation from the Kansas Association for Youth Alumni Network to help convert tennis courts to pickleball in partnership with the recreation department.
The board also approved continued participation in the federal school lunch program for 2025–26, adopted a small across‑the‑board meal‑price increase (a nickel per meal), and approved the 2025–26 food‑service procurement plan that relies in part on Greenbush purchasing co‑op pricing.
Finally, the board appointed Jordan Walk to the Holcomb Rec Commission for a four‑year term and authorized the superintendent to close out the 2025 fiscal year books and make the recommended transfers into capital outlay and contingency reserves.
All items were approved by voice vote.
