Lowpoint-Washburn board approves consent agenda, hires assistant track coach and long-term ELA substitute
Summary
The Lowpoint-Washburn Board of Education approved its consent agenda Jan. 15, 2025, including personnel actions: hiring Stephanie Larimer as junior high assistant track coach and as a long-term substitute for junior high ELA, and granting a one-year unpaid leave of absence to Bridgette Louis for 2025–26.
Vice-President Jessica Youngman presided over the Lowpoint-Washburn Community Unit School District No. 21 Board meeting and asked for a motion to approve the consent agenda, which covered minutes, bills payable, imprest fund transactions, and monthly treasurer and investment reports.
The board approved the consent agenda on a motion by Baugh with a second from Schumacher. The roll-call vote recorded five yes votes (Baugh, Bill, Schumacher, White, Youngman) and two absences (Beltramea, Damerell). The consent agenda included personnel items: notice/acceptance of employee resignations through January 2025; hiring Stephanie Larimer as junior high assistant track coach; employing Stephanie Larimer as a long-term substitute for junior high ELA; and approval of a one-year unpaid leave of absence for Bridgette Louis for the 2025–2026 school year.
Other items carried under the consent agenda were routine finance and operations materials (accounts payable, financial report, approval of bills, and imprest/activity fund items) and a board policy review exercise that listed policy numbers reviewed without recommended changes. The board’s approval followed standard procedure requiring motion, second and roll-call vote.
Next procedural steps noted in the minutes: any board member may request that an item be removed from the consent agenda in order to have it handled as an individual agenda item at a future meeting.
