01:29:51The most notable decision involved the board’s approval to amend a previously allocated fund for infrastructure improvements. Initially set at $230,000, the withdrawal amount was increased to $375,000. This increase ensures comprehensive coverage for necessary milling and paving projects at the school, alongside essential drainage and curbing work. The decision to allocate these funds from capital reserves underscores the board’s strategic planning for long-term school facilities’ upkeep and improvement.

01:10:42In addition to infrastructure investments, the board addressed various personnel matters. Dr. Denise Todd’s appointment as the school doctor and Mr. Ernest Turner as treasurer of school monies were among the approved personnel changes. The board also accepted resignations from key staff, including Paul Cardinal, a technology education teacher, and Barbara Melroy, a paraprofessional. These personnel changes are part of the board’s ongoing efforts to ensure effective staffing and operations within the school district.

01:15:53Further personnel actions included the appointment of Robert Alassen as a special education teacher and Joe Mikoitz as the interim business administrator, both of which received unanimous support. The board also handled several extracurricular appointments for the upcoming school year, which were approved without opposition.

01:17:18The meeting also detailed financial deliberations, including the approval of a resolution for transferring funds to capital reserves for the 2024-2025 school year. The board set the transfer amount to not exceed $800,000. Additional finance-related approvals covered vendor contracts for professional services and mileage reimbursements, all of which were passed unanimously.

01:25:11The board’s decision to approve a five-year agreement with the High Point Education Association was highlighted as an achievement by the negotiation team.

Moreover, the board approved an agreement with the High Point Administrators Association, which also received unanimous support.

01:31:47Transportation contracts were also addressed, with several agreements listed for approval, all passing without dissent.

57:07The meeting was managed with a focus on ensuring all necessary approvals were secured for the ongoing operations and support of the school community.
