By Amie Cato-Remer Editor

The Roland Board of Education convened for its regular meeting at 6 p.m. on March 10, with a series of approvals and updates on school events and finances. President Kevin Flurry led the meeting, which included the approval of multiple key financial matters and upcoming school activities.

The board approved the 2023-24 year audit, presented by Pamela Dotson of Wilson, Dotson & Associates, after a motion by Flurry and a second by Vice President Jerry Brooks. The meeting also included the acceptance of the resignation of Lisa Boswell, a decision made with unanimous approval.

In an executive session, the board discussed employment opportunities but took no official action. When the meeting returned to open session, a motion to approve a school fundraiser for a 3-on-3 basketball tournament at Roland High School was made by Jerry Brooks and seconded by Charles Howard. The event, scheduled for April 19, aims to raise around $1,000.

The board also approved a facility use agreement for the same date, with the tournament set to take place in the school’s upper gym from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

In addition to event approvals, the board reviewed and passed financial matters, including encumbrances and payroll reports for various funds, totaling nearly $1.5 million.

Other new business included the approval of a new school activity account for the ‘Ranger Communications’ fund, as well as the approval of a fundraiser by the Roland Communications organization to sell printed items from March to June 2025, with an expected profit of $500.

The board also unanimously voted to surplus inventory item 3568, but tabled taking any action on a campus improvement project with Techsico.

Superintendent Lori Wiggins provided an update on the upcoming spring schedule and events before the meeting adjourned at 8 p.m.

This news story is based on the unofficial minutes from the board meeting and could be in error if the minutes are changed prior to adoption.
