Superintendent reports union ratification, bus issues and construction progress
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Bennett told the board one union ratified an agreement covering teacher and non-instructional raises, reported first-day bus issues (a new bus under warranty) that are being resolved, and said Dumonta Moore Schools work should largely finish around Christmas or January.
Superintendent Dr. Bennett told the DeSoto County School Board on Aug. 11 that one union has ratified an agreement covering teacher and non-instructional raises; she said she will bring the agreement to the board at the next meeting for approval. She also reported that the first two days of school have gone well overall, despite a typical first-day bus issue involving a newer vehicle that is under warranty and is being fixed.
Dr. Bennett described ongoing capital work, saying "10 13 is the PO for, Dumonta Moore Schools," and that the project has progressed "a long, long way" with much of the second-year work expected to be complete around Christmas or January. She also described a mower purchase made at state pricing to maintain athletic fields, saying it was chosen over leasing or repeated purchases of used equipment.
