Change bond authorized signers
Previous signers were: Christa Billings Board President and Rob Timmons Treasurer. The bank has determined we need to update the signer forms as Christa's title has changed and Treasurer changed. Only board officers can be authorized to sign designated forms. Christa currently signs or submits all the reporting documents that are required quarterly/monthly.
Suggested motion: I move that the Board update the authorized signers for the bond account to reflect current leadership. The Board hereby designates Yessenia Jones,President, Christa Billings, Vice President, Andrew Nelson, Treasurer, and Danielle Siver, Secretary as authorized signers on behalf of the school for all bond-related documents, transactions, and approvals.
