Additionally, the board approved an early payment to KT Builders for offsite stored construction materials and authorized the purchase of a storage building for the high school. Personnel decisions included approval of a new transportation coordinator position with a $70,000 salary, which sparked debate over budget prudence and overlapping roles.
