During the April 4th Regular Board Meeting of HPS 294 in Minnesota, a notable discussion arose regarding the hiring process for a new position within the district. Superintendent Mary Morham's daughter, Janelle Curry, was identified as a candidate, prompting a reminder from board members about the importance of transparency in hiring practices. "We followed the procedures that we have here in the district for hiring," emphasized one board member, ensuring that the process remained fair and consistent.

The board swiftly moved to approve the consent items, with a motion from Josh and a second by Mark, which passed without opposition.

In a lighter moment, the meeting also recognized two outstanding students from Houston High School, Natalie and Troy, who were celebrated as "hurricane heroes" for their achievements. This acknowledgment highlighted the district's commitment to celebrating student accomplishments alongside administrative matters.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's dedication to transparency in hiring and the importance of recognizing student success within the community.
