In addition to the emergency services contract, the board approved a declaration of surplus items, allowing for the efficient management of school resources. The meeting also included a request to issue solicitations for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, including legal journal services and a local newspaper for official communications, ensuring transparency and compliance with state regulations.

The administrative committee reported on policy revisions concerning employee contracts and student admissions, which were unanimously approved. Another notable decision was the naming of the Airline High School baseball field after Clay Bohannon, honoring his contributions to the school community.

Financial discussions included the approval of a one-time stipend for staff, with $1,600 allocated for professional staff and $1,000 for support staff, recognizing their hard work and dedication. The board also reviewed February financials, providing insights into the district's fiscal health.
