Worth County Awards Mowing, Speech Therapy Bids

The Worth County School Board awarded the mowing and speech therapy bids.

The contract for mowing services for all non-athletic areas was up for renewal. It is for a period of three years; the service provider will furnish all labor, materials, and equipment necessary and have general commercial liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance to the extent required by law. 

The district researched the option of purchasing mowing equipment and doing it in-house; they determined it was not the best option at this time.

Noodle Mowing Service (2 years experience) submitted a bid for $425 per mow. Kobbe Lawn Care (33 years experience) submitted a bid for $473.50 per mow. Troutwine/Kinsella (10+ years experience) submitted a bid for $425 per mow. The board voted to award the bid to Troutwine/Kinsella.

The board awarded the speech therapy bid to Donna Pile at a rate of $15,895 for the 2022-23 school year. The current Speech Implementer model the school uses is no longer an option for DESE. Effective January 1st, 2019, newly-hired speech-language pathologists in the public schools do not fall under specific teacher requirements of the State Department of Education. State licensure by the Missouri Division of Professional Registration is typically required for practice in the schools.
