The Southeast Polk Community School District board took several formal actions during its Oct. 16 meeting, approving routine business and a set of items that will move to implementation or further review.

Key votes and outcomes

- Agenda adoption: Motion approved (unanimous roll call). No detailed vote text provided.

- Consent agenda: Motion approved (unanimous roll call).

- Meeting dates confirmation: Next meetings set for Nov. 6 and Nov. 20 (motion approved, unanimous roll call).

- 28E water-flow metering agreement with City of Pleasant Hill: Motion approved; board voted unanimously to approve the intergovernmental agreement (see related story).

- Four Mile Elementary and Junior High roof project: The board accepted final completion of the Four Mile Elementary and Junior High roof project and authorized release of retainage to Central States Roofing. Motion carried by unanimous roll call.

- Board policy updates: The board approved a first reading of policy updates, including an updated committee list and addition of a safety committee to the committee list. Motion for first reading was approved by roll call.

- IASB delegate nomination: Kelly Simmons was nominated and approved as the district delegate to the Iowa Association of School Boards delegate assembly (Kelly was absent but had earlier indicated willingness to serve). Motion approved by roll call.

Why it matters: The roof project acceptance frees retainage for the contractor and closes a capital project; the first reading of policies advances governance changes that will return for final approval later; the IASB delegate appointment ensures district representation at the statewide assembly.

Ending: Several items were routine and carried unanimously. The board will return with certified enrollment numbers after the Department of Education completes its cleanup and with additional follow-up on the Pleasant Hill metering agreement if metering shows a discrepancy.
