Board approves nurse-service contract and a staffing hire; motions pass 5‑0
Summary
The board approved contracting for ESD nursing services (reported example cost $7,000) and voted to hire Latoya Smith for a district support role; recorded vote was documented as "Passes 5 0."
The board considered routine action items including approval of an ESD nursing services arrangement to achieve compliance with Division 22 nursing requirements and the hire of Latoya Smith for a district support role. A board member noted the district would pay $7,000 for ESD nursing services (an example figure given in discussion) and explained that the district also directly pays for a full‑time nurse for a student with specific needs. The board moved, seconded and recorded the vote: "Aye... Passes 5 0."
Administrators said contracting with the ESD nursing service brings the district into compliance for required nursing coverage and that some student-specific nursing costs remain separately budgeted. The hire was described as a timely fill for a hard-to-recruit position; the board approved both items and moved on to other agenda business.
