The West Central Valley School Board met in regular session Wednesday night.

The Board held a public hearing regarding the 2023-24 budget amendment, approving the resolution to pass the amendment, then entered the regular meeting. They approved contract recommendations for Carol Gawronski as an elementary teacher, Tricia Foster as the Food Service Supervisor and Donny Teague as a paraeducator. It was also announced that once the contract was official, Teague would be stepping down from his position as a Board member.

The Board also voted Board Member Mike Dickson as the Vice President, then discussed what to do for what would be two open Board positions, and opted to wait and hold a special election for both positions. They approved the Guthrie County Hazard Mitigation Plan, the second reading of a policy regarding purchasing, bidding, suspension and debarment of vendors and contractors, along with a resolution for a contract and bonds with Sandstone Management.

The Board then approved the 2024-25 milk bid from AE, Authentic Intellectual Work Institute contract and Kids Campus contracts for the summer of 2024 and the 24-25 school year. They also approved the school resource officer (SRO) agreement, the building automation system for Dexter Elementary, and an adjustment of $1.50/hour for eligible paraeducators, then entered an exempt session.
