Health was the main topic of the Humboldt board of education meeting Monday night.
The board voted to hire two school nurses.
The two nurses are Wendy Froggatte and Megan Anderson. Froggatte will be available to the schools for three days a week while Anderson will be available for two days a week.
Board members also agreed to cancel their June 24 meeting and move the July 8 meeting to July 15. The meeting time will still be 7:30 p.m. that day.
Two board members were recognized with plaques during the meeting for their service on the board. Don Hauser and Larry Mendoza will step down from the board at the first of July. Kevin Heisler and Andy Seufert were elected to take the members’ place.
Other items on the agenda were the approval of the superintendent’s year end budget transfers and the 2013-2-14 classified and administrative contract proposals.
The board spent 20 minutes in executive session to discuss non-elected personnel.
K.B. Criss, Humboldt superintendent, spoke to the board briefly on the update of the new sports complex. Progress of the complex is moving along and a date for a grand opening was discussed but not yet set.
Other items on the superintendent’s report included applying for a grant to put Wi-Fi on the water tower so kids can have Internet access to do assignments at home. Also the possibility of a safe room for shelter during bad weather was mentioned.
