Summary

The School Board’s May 6–23, 1985 actions covered election administration, landscaping, summer school, grants, debt retirement, school repairs, a conditional construction bid, and a June ballot request to transfer up to $25,000 from equity to complete the building addition.

Evidence limits

These minutes preserve board actions and proposals but do not establish the June vote, final contract, funding transfer, or construction completion.

  1. Reports the May 6 special meeting's election resolution, fourth-to-sixth-grade trip, and landscaping plan; May 13's cancelled summer school, grant preparation, budget hearing, election inspectors, debt-retirement fund, mowing, repairs, band rental, and school-addition bid; May 20's conditional acceptance of Seals and Roberts Construction under a $239,312 ceiling; and May 23's resolution asking voters to transfer up to $25,000 from equity to complete the building. It is a newspaper account of minutes and a proposed ballot, not an election result, contract, budget, grant file, or completed addition. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
