The agenda item will be addressed at the Monday, April 26 meeting of the board, which is scheduled to be held virtually. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
Administrator compensation was on the agenda for the April 12 meeting of the board, but it was tabled to Monday night’s meeting in the event an executive session was needed to discuss the qualifications, competence, performance, character or fitness of any public officer of employee or perspective public officer or employee, which is allowed under South Dakota law.
Three new units needed, officials say Written By: Erik Kaufman | ×
The Mitchell Board of Education will consider the purchase of new commercial-grade dishwashers when it meets for its next meeting Monday, Feb. 8.
The meeting, scheduled for 5 p.m., will be held in a virtual format.
According to agenda notes provided by Joe Graves, superintendent for the Mitchell School District, food service personnel have identified a need to replace three dishwashers in the school kitchens. The board will consider bids for the equipment from IS Restaurant Design Equipment of Sioux Falls.
The company submitted bids for two different brands of dishwasher. One made by Jackson comes in at $92,526.14 and the other, made by Hobart, comes in at $122,607.24. Graves said the bid on the Jackson machines had to be rejected because there are no nearby dealers who can repair and maintain the machine, as well as capacity and other design features.
Dartmouth Shoppers Receive a Small Surprise in Memory of Maddie
Some fortunate Dartmouth Target shoppers were treated to a small act of kindness in loving memory of two-year-old Madison Daley Funk.
Madison died at her Virginia home in October of 2007. She would have just turned 15 this past September.
Her family friends, the Downs family of Dartmouth, honored her memory this year by sharing some goodwill, leaving $5 gift cards randomly placed throughout the Dartmouth Target store. In memory of my friend’s daughter, we placed gift cards at Target. Hope those that find them say a prayer in her name and enjoy some Christmas kindness!!!!
