Board approves consent agenda, designates depositories and reviews July bills
Summary
The board approved its consent agenda including banking depositories, authorization for the board president signature stamp, appointments for federal program representation, meal-price and season-pass rates, and approval of July 2026 bills after a brief review of line items such as testing software and dehumidifier rentals.
McCook Central School District 43-7 — The board approved a broad consent agenda covering routine annual business: banking depositories, officer authorizations, committee appointments and July 2026 bills.
The chair summarized the items, naming First National Bank in Salem, Security State Bank in Spencer and the South Dakota Public Investment Trust as authorized depositories and explaining the board authorized the president to use a signature stamp on district checks. The chair also noted designation of the superintendent as the district’s local agency representative for federal programs and that the district’s special education comprehensive plan was recertified for the coming year.
During the consent discussion a committee member detailed specific line items on the bills: “We’re spending $255 a week” for dehumidifier rentals for gym maintenance, and the committee noted a total rental bill of about $1,900 for two commercial-size dehumidifiers. The member also called out testing software and curriculum bills for review. After brief questions the board approved the consent agenda by voice vote so staff can proceed with invoices and the listed annual appointments.
The transcript records the chair asking members to indicate any items to pull from the consent agenda; none were removed. The approved consent items also included routine policies (travel reimbursement at state rates), committee listings (negotiations, transportation, building and grounds, finance, curriculum, policy and public relations) and seasonal ticket/meal prices.
