A. INDIVIDUAL ITEMS:

1. Personnel Appointments (Sal Minolfo)

The administrative, certified and classified personnel presented have been screened by the Human Resources Department, and interviewed, and/or approved by the Principal or supervisor for each location.

2. Proposed One-Time Use of Fund Balance (Tray Traxler)

Board policy DA describes the District’s fund balance thresholds. Board policy establishes a minimum of two months’ reserves with a desire to have at least three months. At the conclusion of the June 30, 2025, audit, the District had approximately 2.9 months’ unassigned reserves. Fund balance has periodically addressed one-time (non-recurring) needs while continuing to maintain fund balance at sufficient levels.

B. CONSENT ITEMS: The following items will be voted on as a group; individual items may be discussed prior to a vote being taken.

1.Ratification of Expulsions (Dr. Murphy)

The School Board, according to the Code of Laws for South Carolina Section 59-63-240, is authorized to expel students from school. Although the Board may receive recommendations for expulsion from others, it is solely empowered to take the final expulsion action.

2. Non-Resident Transfer Requests (Mrs. Meek)

Board Policy JFAB allows the Aiken County Board of Education to arrange with other school districts for the interchange of students. The policy stipulates that nonresident students transfer into the District “the parent/legal guardian must assume responsibility for transportation. The Board will hold nonresident students to the behavioral and academic requirements set out in policy JFAA, admission of resident students. The district may charge tuition to nonresident students seeking to enroll in district schools.”

3. Release from ACPSD Requests (Mrs. Meek)

Board Policy JFABC allows the Aiken County Board of Education to arrange with other school districts for the interchange of students. The policy stipulates that when students transfer out of the District, “the School District of Aiken County shall resume no responsibility for tuition to the receiving district.”

4. Items to be Declared Surplus and Method of Disposal (Mr. Traxler)

Miscellaneous school furnishings and equipment have been screened and determined to be obsolete and no longer of use to the District. Board approval is requested for the disposal of these items (ACPSD Procurement Code Article 15 Supply Management Sections 3810 and 3820).
