A member of the public, Connie Watts, asked at the meeting whether the executive session was \"gonna be for personnel or safety,\" noting the board must share with the public what topic would be discussed. The board responded that the session would cover both personnel and student safety.

Board members then made a motion to go into executive session under South Dakota codified law (referenced in the meeting as \"1‑25‑1 or 2‑1\"). The motion to enter executive session was moved by Mark and seconded by Chris; the board voted in favor and entered executive session.

The public record in the transcript ends with confirmation that the board entered executive session; the transcript does not include the executive session discussion or any subsequent formal action from that closed session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","TCSD Regular Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The board moved into executive session to discuss personnel matters and student safety under a South Dakota codified law reference; a public commenter asked whether the discussion would be personnel or safety and was told both topics would be covered.","taxTitle","Todd County School District 66-1, School Districts, South Dakota","taxId",66011,"location","South Dakota","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_46":81,"_48":82,"_50":83,"_52":84,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":85,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":86,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6462080,"Board approves agenda, handbook and multiple overnight trips; removes F‑3 from consent agenda",123,1435000,1558000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5812008-0ca5e3414451e976f01968fc278f80b1&start=1435&end=1558","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5812008-0ca5e3414451e976f01968fc278f80b1/thumbnail_1435000.jpg","/articles/6462080/South-Dakota/Board-approves-agenda-handbook-and-multiple-overnight-trips-removes-F3-from-consent-agenda","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6462080-86284b4de92d09d2695ba8a74ce7e73f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771505176&Signature=ovZvhKffWr4smm6XhhyVIpw3XeMt3SaJZcb75Dmpshm24U3KLMCcVPTNg~XD6rps8q0u-KNtc876VV0D6vtdtAAA9f5eUx00HAQk9eGo2weQSc4WR-nPjq04tDH0IlWJEPXzpnBXQWEbU00gOP6ETiPs6cnilKFtQ1squffEx5jIat1lpT6eekHh7wyHQQ7uGRcbLZrrueYFW8W4zKKNAS8KQlWk9ByLjuViRWKvu20UqyW3OLYgvg2qiLgcXKDsnXlKAVzRD3qiljMhaNPKmIc458AMeqtG7uklsoB7gGLqRqC1c0So9q1BW~bGbLo40tffyLm1bbASg6IzF8xQbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Todd County School District Board of Education adopted its agenda for Sept. 22 after removing one consent item (F‑3) and recording a recusal by board member Mark (last name not specified).

Board members then approved the consent agenda with F‑3 removed. Board member Chris moved to approve the agenda; Amanda seconded and the board voted in favor.

Several individual motions on the consent agenda and related items were recorded and approved by roll call or voice vote with board members indicating unanimous support where noted:

- An overnight trip to the ACES conference was approved (motion by Amanda, second by Mark). The board recorded the outcome as 5‑0 in favor.

- The board approved the Todd County School District 2025‑26 Special Education Handbook (mover and seconder recorded during the meeting; attorney review was asked for and confirmed during discussion).

- Todd County High School’s overnight trip to visit Haskell (Kansas University referenced in the transcript) was approved (motion by Amanda, second by Chris); the board recorded a 5‑0 vote.

- Personnel item 8.1: the board approved an administrative rule waiver application for Holly Critchfield (motion by Amanda; second by Cruz). The motion carried.

Board members did not expand on the specifics of the removed F‑3 item during the public record at this point; a recusal was noted and the item was pulled from the consent agenda for an individual vote later in the meeting. Vote tallies reported in the transcript show multiple 5‑0 outcomes on the items above; where roll‑call names were not provided in the transcript, the record shows unanimous voice votes.

No new budget figures or contract details were provided in the public portions of the discussion recorded in the transcript.","The Todd County School District board adopted its agenda with one consent item removed, approved routine consent business and several overnight student trips, and approved the 2025‑26 Special Education Handbook and an administrative rule waiver.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6462085,"Todd County students to present water‑quality project at regional science conference",336,1028000,1364000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5812008-0ca5e3414451e976f01968fc278f80b1&start=1028&end=1364","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5812008-0ca5e3414451e976f01968fc278f80b1/thumbnail_1028000.jpg","/articles/6462085/South-Dakota/Todd-County-students-to-present-waterquality-project-at-regional-science-conference","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6462085-12767af6c8308f39ee274d2fd0cfd243/orig.mp4?Expires=1771505176&Signature=j-X5Zw4URTOTAahhtxkrttAXMokz~4nX07w5se-i-LuQCqWE68zvFi6fV2UKP2r2SdBo8aq~RvRK-eLO8I385ZiVvqpGVtrexOEiiKSVUJToqTmUJfBjm2l9Zd8spqPJdqr9HRUPlHWaJGYuedGZPh4pyvj1-VeFwZ56gjeAdYzPmpoQeeQ8UqfVKoI51EbqUOQ2QAExlHaDow1E0CZ-LwFpEdTz81Z5Ao0vOycgpE37TomN0gVmUp8NIsamH0eNgZ~14PmaGSJwsOZWOriy7V-nooJ2bHDk9yxg9QU~CDZelTqzA8WytVQBKZdYaz2~HEIaAEC6bIxpzr-TB9G6aQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Todd County School District recognized student researchers Darren Espinosa and Izzy DeBray on the board agenda Sept. 22, saying the pair will represent Todd County and present a water‑quality project at a regional science conference in Minnesota.

Superintendent Roberta (last name not specified) invited the students to describe the project. Student Lizzie (last name not specified) said the team collected water samples on the local reservation \"down under the bridge\" and tested them for transparency, nutrient concentrations, hardness and pH. \"The data showed lower transparency and elevated ammonia,\" Lizzie said.

Lizzie said the poster highlights results and \"provide[s] a baseline for future water quality monitoring and management in the communities.\" She told the board the project was submitted to ASES and was accepted to compete in Minnesota. \"Through this opportunity, we will learn from other tribes, other indigenous people ... about their projects,\" she said, and added the students plan to share the findings with classmates and peers.

Board members applauded the students following the presentation. The board did not take any formal action related to the project during the meeting; the recognition and students' remarks were part of the superintendent report and student recognitions portion of the agenda.

The board also noted recent student athletics achievements, including finishes at the Big Dakota Conference and boys' golf results, and gave brief congratulations to named student athletes.","The Todd County School District recognized student researchers accepted to present a water‑quality project at a regional science conference in Minnesota and said the work will inform local monitoring and classroom STEM learning.","actionData","errors"]
