During a recent school board meeting, members discussed the revised calendar for the 2024-2025 academic year, focusing primarily on scheduling around the upcoming April election. The board is considering two main options for meetings in April, given that the election is set for April 8.
One proposal suggests holding a workshop on April 3, followed by a business meeting on April 24, which would allow for the board reorganization to occur after the election results are certified. Alternatively, the board could opt to meet on April 17 for the reorganization and then again the following week for the business meeting.
The board noted that previous years have seen complications due to delays in election result certification, which typically takes 10 days. This has led to instances where the board had to meet multiple times in April, a scenario they aim to avoid this year.
After deliberation, the board reached a consensus to proceed with the April 3 workshop and the April 24 meeting for reorganization and business matters. Additionally, the board confirmed a meeting time of 5 PM on May 15, coinciding with the Schneid Valley graduation event. This decision reflects the board's commitment to ensuring a smooth transition post-election while accommodating important school events.
