Summary
At its Nov. 25 meeting at the Performing Arts Center, the New Buffalo Area Schools Board of Education's printed agenda included recommended appointments to the New Buffalo Recreational Authority, a recommended purchase of a steamer countertop for $11,546.61, and a scheduled discussion on a recreational authority grant for the softball field.
President Lisa Werner called the New Buffalo Area Schools Board of Education's regular session to order on Nov. 25, 2024, at the Performing Arts Center. The printed agenda showed routine governance items, a public comment period and several substantive agenda items, including recommended appointments to the New Buffalo Recreational Authority and a recommended equipment purchase for the district's food service program.
The agenda lists consent items and fund totals that the board was set to consider as a single block. The agenda states, "Items on the Consent Agenda are to be voted on as a single item by the Board. Board Members may remove items from the Consent Agenda prior to vote." The consent agenda line items include minutes from the Oct. 28 and Nov. 11 meetings and bills/payables across funds including a General Fund total of $575,609.42 and Payroll of $903,336.02.
President Lisa Werner recommended that the board appoint Adam Bowen and Pano Arvanitis as the district's representatives to the New Buffalo Recreational Authority. The printed agenda recorded the recommendation but does not show whether the board voted on the appointments.
The Superintendent and the Food Service Director recommended the board accept a quote from HPS for a Steamer Countertop in the amount of $11,546.61; that recommendation appears on the printed agenda as item 11, with no vote outcome recorded in the agenda text. The meeting also scheduled a presentation titled "Radio Program" by Jonny Reinhardt, remarks from Class President Riley Tertel, and a discussion item listed as a Recreational Authority grant update on the softball field. The agenda closed with the items "Other Business" and "Adjournment."
