Board member Ray Cardona requested adding language under the drills portion of EBCC so parents would be informed immediately after a drill to reduce alarm. “What happens a lot is that I get calls and texts and even myself as a parent get concerned because all you hear is that we're in a lockdown,” Cardona said during the discussion, asking the board to include a line item under communication to notify parents that a drill has occurred.

Superintendent Dr. Steinhoff said the district has the technology and that adding a follow-up notification protocol after drills is prudent and feasible: \"I don't think that there's a problem with us adding that language and that being our protocol,\" he said, noting the district would not send messages while a drill is in progress but would notify families immediately afterward.

The item was recorded as a first reading; the chair said revised language would be prepared for the second reading and final approval at the next meeting.","During a first reading of Section E (support services) policies the board discussed adding language to EBCC (emergency lockdown) to notify parents after drills.

The business manager reported the district has collected $19,103,000 in general-fund revenue (69% of budgeted revenue) and spent $18,964,000 (68% of the budget) at the 75 percent point in the year; comparable figures from the prior year were $18,117,000 collected (68%) and $18,321,000 spent (67%).

On construction, the high school addition has had all precast concrete walls set in place and crews will spend roughly three weeks on welding and placing steel to hold the walls and roof joists. Work on the Tiger Stadium scoreboard is ramping up; the business manager said the new scoreboard will require more electrical capacity than the district currently has and will require installation of a fiber-optic line from the scoreboard to the crow’s nest for control functions, so the district expects to invest in significant electrical and infrastructure work.

Other summer projects include middle-school boiler work scheduled to begin late May, middle-school roof replacement and a partial high-school roof replacement, interior renovations at the high school over the summer (including music rooms and kitchen), and welding-shop ventilation work in the CTE building. The business manager said, based on current schedules, projects are on track.

Board members asked no further questions during the report.","The district’s business manager said the general fund is on pace and construction projects are moving forward; the new stadium scoreboard will require significant electrical and fiber work, and multiple roof and boiler projects are scheduled for the summer.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6604643,"Huron board members return from national convention with focus on mental health, family engagement and digital communication",1481,591000,2072000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2987493-305838c2652b5e11c5cf7e0b750938bb&start=591&end=2072","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2987493-305838c2652b5e11c5cf7e0b750938bb/thumbnail_591000.jpg","/articles/6604643/South-Dakota/Huron-board-members-return-from-national-convention-with-focus-on-mental-health-family-engagement-and-digital-communication","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6604643-6c15e031c498b0cdb9982a3f82b0c1ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1771162221&Signature=DYmk~S6Eg1CLKr4ZVrdaAKquTvl3Txa-t-oafZAj~U3FmlZtRUYhlR4xEyY4EH8yKsFnh~13vMSbEdKoCEpyu-wppBB7tBW0Z1CHBM-IGsY1-lf5lExT140jSsFMqK6zSLboSWnfSY33HNOG5HevIIVgmgDf1Oesr~9fWcvIszEQYhpuqeQR5p-ZRrhajumxQkCE2LKr~IP1BM3YZFTvYNv2CQcZJLYhljIjLZ9q3G-WyuwgFfFH9QUy3M8bmrmysD0XroU4Kz4jlnX5NpunDPMqaRvyoaxG5xhvkAadZuyKt4nL2vZAndqLkn8aaid~~sbC5r9QI1PNowVLLGtfQQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Four Huron School District board members and the superintendent who attended the National School Boards Association convention in Atlanta reported on sessions they found most applicable to local priorities, including community communication, mental health supports and “grow-your-own” workforce strategies for school mental-health staff.

Board Chair Van Bercum noted several keynote and breakout sessions that addressed governance under increased public scrutiny and digital-era leadership. Garrett Bischoff was recognized on stage as president of the Association of School Boards of South Dakota, the board said. Members described sessions addressing disinformation, artificial intelligence policy, and strategies to improve community trust and two-way communication.

Board member Shelly highlighted an app-based communication tool called School Bundle that one district used to consolidate calendars, send push notifications and host one-question surveys and a thought-exchange feature; she said the app increased participation even among older community members. \"AI can certainly be utilized to do some of the work,\" Shelly said, describing a demonstration in which the platform surfaced key comments and limited repetitive negative posts.

Several trustees described sessions on addressing mental-health needs. One district’s “grow-your-own” program aimed to produce licensed social workers by recruiting and training local candidates (including paraprofessionals and teachers) through an intensive two-year program. According to trustees who attended that session, the district packed and retained graduates and used a mix of state and federal grants, Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services funding and Medicaid billing to sustain the program.

Superintendent Dr. Steinhoff said many sessions affirmed work the district is already emphasizing—reading instruction aligned with the science of reading, collective teacher efficacy and family engagement—and recommended incorporating conference takeaways into the next strategic plan. The board indicated staff would review session materials and consider adapting ideas such as clearer digital communications, family-engagement assessments, and mental-health staffing pilots.

No formal board action resulted from the reports; members said the information will inform future planning and the district’s strategic-plan update.","Board members who attended the National School Boards Association convention described sessions on governance, family engagement, mental health programs and digital tools; the district plans to fold lessons into its next strategic plan and consider pilot programs discussed at the conference.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6604648,"Huron School Board approves consent agenda including $775,000-a-year literacy grant application and contracts for buses and boilers",198,183000,381000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2987493-305838c2652b5e11c5cf7e0b750938bb&start=183&end=381","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2987493-305838c2652b5e11c5cf7e0b750938bb/thumbnail_183000.jpg","/articles/6604648/South-Dakota/Huron-School-Board-approves-consent-agenda-including-775000-a-year-literacy-grant-application-and-contracts-for-buses-and-boilers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6604648-4285de1772a7d48b23a3898592447d20/orig.mp4?Expires=1771162221&Signature=OlTLApTNdFA-OOiOrWKosYeH1GjZwxC5m3aidbkw26Ws9GdOEVps5PBdyv3n-UihkoSbruNJvd44DsWTYIKEzkrB4g4tpJ2nWHvu-dz6Z55Mrx52fsLL~K1w4N9fSL2H~6Wy5w6I5mI2ncFLKL5gaFul4ap3Rhb2zSc8zcNvRbDn1lxvSNRNZRMzArScuiGAmhz8Yp0Kw0uXCbdR7Wa7pisN8KoXePCPkDIuwQ6cazw2izBnMH1frgP3cXxNqAXCEqZcniIRVW3-MagpQ2bX9nTssNGzZNtPd8V3r1zONQ1qUNxw4aYHsan8xKOeG~gnCJ4tUEnGBgeQ93JUKvaAqw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Huron Board of Education unanimously approved its consent agenda, which included personnel actions, vendor bids, vehicle purchases, building-system contracts and a grant application to the South Dakota Department of Education.

The consent agenda -- which the chair described as “lengthy” and asked the board to approve in a single motion -- certified 16 new hires and five resignations requiring board approval. The resignations listed in the packet included: Mike Postma (part-time welding instructor, will continue to coach football), Kathy Bostrom (law and public safety teacher, two years of service), Anne Sudbeck Malsam (food service at Madison Satellite, two years), Tanner Sporer (ninth-grade football coach, two years) and Jim Noyes (assistant varsity boys basketball coach, three years).

Contracts and procurement items approved in the consent motion included: a variable-pricing milk and dairy bid from Avera PACE for the 2025–26 school year; a fuel-discount bid from MG Oil (15-cent discount on E10 blend gasoline and 12-cent discount on diesel for 2025–26); a low 10-cent discount bid received from DJ’s Bridal Center and Stern Oil Company; acceptance of a bid from North Central Bus and Equipment to purchase two school buses for $279,902; and a contract with Howe Incorporated for middle-school boiler replacement in the amount of $398,600.

The board also approved an agreement with Core Educational Cooperative and accepted a grant application prepared by Jolene Konechnie to the South Dakota Department of Education for a literacy-improvement grant, described in the board packet as $775,000 per year for four years. The board declared a 1984 IH 540 wheel loader surplus and authorized it for online auction.

The motion to approve the full consent agenda passed unanimously on a roll-call vote.

The board noted that individual items from the consent agenda could have been pulled for separate discussion but were approved together after no member requested additional discussion.","The Huron Board of Education approved a broad consent agenda covering new hires and resignations, vendor bids, two school buses, a middle-school boiler contract and a $775,000-per-year literacy grant application to the South Dakota Department of Education.","actionData","errors"]
