LGISD School Board Talks Roof Repair, Personnel
In Friday’s Record we had some big news from last week’s La Grange ISD school board meeting, but here are some more highlights:
Roof Replacement
Sharon Muzny, LGISD Director of Operations and Tony Nielsen of Claycomb (the architectural company overseeing school renovations) presented their findings on the conditions of the roofing needs for the district. At previous meetings, Muzny indicated that there were five areas of concern and she would create a prioritized list. At the top of the list are the Hermes Gym 2 and the High School/Middle School cafeteria.
The board agreed that Muzny should proceed with putting these jobs out for bids so that the repairs can begin as soon as possible.
New Hires and Resignations
New hires that were approved at Monday night’s meeting were: Kylee Hollis – paraprofessional, Norma Harper – food service, and Floyd Rivers, Jr. – transportation. Resignations were accepted from Melodee Frost, Lisa Klekar, and William Wagner.
Honoree
Ellee Sodolak was recognized at Monday night’s board meeting for her achievement in placing 86th at the state cross country meet recently.
Administrative Reports
Superintendent Bill Wagner reported that enrollment is 1,865 as of Friday, Nov. 12. He also stated that there have been very few COVID cases this month.
Assistant Superintendent Stacy Eilers reported that the Veteran’s Day program was well worth watching.
Director of Operations Sharon Muzny reported that she is working on getting a replacement for the bus cards that are currently unavailable.
Budget Amendment
After a recent technology needs assessment, it was determined that four members of finance department needed new computer equipment. The district will purchase four new laptops to allow the members of the finance department to attend virtual meetings and inperson meetings where bringing laptop is necessary. The cost for these laptops is $6,692. Diana Fitzpatrick requested a budget amendment transferring $7,000 to cover the cost of the laptops and cases to protect them.

The December meeting will be moved to Dec. 13.
