The Watonga Board of Education voted unanimously July 13 to approve a consent agenda that included $1,722,506.96 in General Fund encumbrances and $1,572,063.35 in General Fund payroll encumbrances. The board also approved Child Nutrition encumbrances totaling $382,380.00 and a Child Nutrition payroll encumbrance of $6,607.50.
The consent package included an MOU with the Cheyenne & Arapaho Head Start program for the 2026–2027 school year and contracts to provide services during the coming school year, including NW Educational Psychometry Services and Clean Slate Solutions Drug and Testing. Aaron Clewell moved the consent agenda and Courtney Nagel seconded; the motion carried 4–0 with Clewell, Nagel, Robison and Vice President Dwight McGee recorded as voting yes.
Board members did not debate individual line items during the meeting; the consent motion grouped fiscal approvals, the activity fund and treasurer reports, and the listed service agreements to streamline board action. The board meeting record shows these financial approvals and contracts were accepted as presented, enabling staff to proceed with associated vendor work and program partnerships for the 2026–2027 year.
The board did not hold an executive session on these items and did not amend the dollar amounts during the meeting. The approvals take effect immediately for the start of the fiscal and program year tasks they support.
