During the regular meeting of the Panorama School Board on Aug. 18, Maggie Armstrong, speaking on behalf of the Panorama Yes committee, addressed the board and submitted the petition that was circulated to get signatures in favor of the bond issue. She said there are 311 signatures of registered voters.
Board member Mark Cates thanked Armstrong and the other committee members for their work in getting facts to the voters. The board approved the resolution ordering an election on the issuance of $19.6 million in General Obligation school bonds for the planned project.
Superintendent Kasey Huebner asked the board to consider approving the purchase of two used school buses from the Wayne Community School District for $75,000 total. He said the two buses would be used for activities, and that the buses are a good deal at the price. Huebner said Panorama generally uses newer buses on regular routes and assigns older buses to activities. He added that the purchase, if approved, would be contingent on Panorama staff visually inspecting the buses before purchase.
“Our route fleet is in really good condition,” Huebner said.
The board members unanimously approved the purchase as described by Huebner.
The board members unanimously approved the purchase of a new auditorium lighting console at a cost of $10,546.
The board held a first reading and discussion of the proposed Activities Handbook. Activities Director Bruse Dahlhauser talked about the handbook. He summarized some areas in which the proposed handbook clarifies issue that were previously vague. The board approved the first reading.
No one spoke during the Public Forum portion of the meeting. The board’s next regular meeting is set for Sept. 8. The public is welcome.
