Perry County District 32 board approves multiple routine bids, SRO pay placement and athletic fee changes
Summary
The Perry County District 32 Board approved a series of motions including fuel and audit contracts, a school resource officer salary placement after a COPS grant ends, standardized athletic gate prices and a stipend for Friday/Saturday gate duty; several informational reports were also presented.
The Perry County District 32 Board of Education approved a slate of routine business at its meeting, voting to accept vendor bids, adopt an annual ethics policy and move a school resource officer onto the district pay plan as a COPS grant winds down.
The board approved the consent agenda on a motion by a board member and moved open session business forward with voice votes. A board member moved to approve the fuel bid "from MFA for the 26th, 27th school year as presented," and the motion carried. The board likewise approved an audit contract with Ben Heumann CBA for the 2026–29 school years after staff explained the district solicits an independent auditor every three years.
Board members also voted to align athletic gate prices with the JCA conference recommendation, adopting a proposed change of $4 for adults and $2 for students, with senior citizens admitted free. The board approved a payment for gate duty at Friday night and Saturday home games to match the per‑game pay for clock operators ($20 per hour/game), with staff estimating the annual budgetary impact at under $1,500.
On personnel, administrators said a COPS grant that had paid the SRO/safety director through the City of Perryville payroll is ending; staff proposed, and the board approved, moving that position onto the Perry County District 32 pay schedule, retirement system and benefits package, funded from existing Chapter 100 FTG sources. Administrator comments noted the city had billed the district for its portion while the grant was active and that the district will assume full payroll responsibility going forward.
The board also readopted policy BBFA (board member conflict of interest and financial disclosure) as an annual housekeeping action.
What happens next: Staff said they will finalize contract documents and update payroll records where applicable. No formal roll call vote counts were recorded in the transcript; all approvals were taken by voice vote.
