Board approves consent agenda including coach contracts and accepts donations to district programs
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda (coaching and paraprofessional contracts) and adopted a resolution accepting donations and grants (including $10,000 from Westland Excavating and a reported $53,000 from LPA youth basketball) under Minnesota statutes.
The board approved the consent agenda, which included contract approvals for coaching and paraprofessional positions (head cross country coach, junior high and assistant volleyball coaches, and other hires listed on the consent agenda). Board members discussed expected roster sizes, the advertising of positions and that coaching roles are renewed year-to-year.
Separately the board considered and approved a resolution accepting donations and grants for district programs; the motion cited Minnesota statutes that allow a governing body to accept gifts and set conditions. The superintendent and chair read donors and amounts aloud; scoreboard and athletics donors listed included Westland Excavating ($10,000) and a large contribution reported from LPA youth basketball (amount read as $53,000). The resolution passed and administrators thanked donors and volunteer supporters.
