Board approves consent agenda, $50,000 scoreboard donation and shared therapy agreements
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved the consent agenda, accepted a $50,000 donation to fund a gym scoreboard, approved intergovernmental agreements to share occupational and physical therapists with East Dubuque, and authorized a dual‑credit memorandum with Highland Community College; a press policy update received a first reading.
At its meeting, the Galena City School District board approved routine business items and several agreements intended to expand student services and academic opportunities.
On a bundled consent agenda (items 4.1–4.10) the board recorded a roll‑call approval. The board then accepted a $50,000 donation from a local bank identified in the transcript as '1st Community Bank' to fund the east‑wall scoreboard in the new high school gym. A trustee moved to accept the donation and another trustee seconded; the Chair called for roll‑call approval and the motion carried.
The board also approved intergovernmental agreements to share an occupational therapist and a physical therapist with East Dubuque School District; the staff member noted the agreements include a 3% increase in shared costs this year. Trustees moved and seconded the motions and approved both agreements by roll call.
The district approved a memorandum of understanding with Highland Community College to offer six dual‑credit courses at Galena High School, enabling students to earn college credit while enrolled in high school.
The board treated an updated press policy (referred to in the transcript as 'press policy issue 1 22') as a first reading; trustees were asked to review the text and the item will return for final action at a subsequent meeting. The board also approved a personnel recommendation to authorize employment for Cameron Einzweiler (name as spoken in the transcript).
All motions reported in the meeting were approved on roll call and the meeting adjourned. The board did not vote on the press policy at this session; it will appear on a future agenda for final approval.
