Laura Hageman reported Feb. 9 that the Smith County Health Department was awarded a Safe Sleep grant through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). Hageman also reported that on Jan. 31 the department’s vaccine freezer began beeping and failed; she said she has purchased a replacement freezer that is on its way.
Hageman said the health department met with the school last week about the school nurse contract and was asked to finish out the school year according to the plan discussed with school officials. The minutes do not record grant amounts, vendor names for the replacement freezer, or any changes to school-year compensation arrangements.
No motions or votes accompanied Hageman’s updates; they were informational reports to the board during the meeting.
