Board approves consent agenda, personnel moves, grants, superintendent contract extension and revised facilities plan including Ferguson modular
Summary
The Klamath County School District board approved routine consent items, multiple personnel contract motions, grant awards, a one‑year extension to the superintendent’s contract and a revised 2025‑26 facilities project list that adds a two‑classroom modular at Ferguson Elementary; some votes were passed without a full roll call in the transcript.
At its regular meeting the Klamath County School District Board of Education took a series of routine and substantive actions: approving the consent agenda, confirming personnel contracts, awarding grants, extending administrator contracts and approving a revised facilities project list that adds a two‑classroom modular at Ferguson Elementary.
Key outcomes at a glance:
- Consent agenda: approved (motion passed).
- Appointments: Jason Jesper was appointed to Zone 300 (motion passed).
- Grant awards: the board approved grant awards totaling $41,729.72 as presented (motion passed).
- Policy updates: first reading policy updates approved (motion passed).
- Personnel actions: the board approved lists of probationary and contract teachers, renewals, nonrenewals, extensions for nurses and therapists and multiple administrator contract actions as presented in the packet (motions passed). These items were presented and approved largely as consent or consent‑adjacent motions; the transcript records aye votes but does not include a full roll call for every name.
- Superintendent contract: the board voted to extend Superintendent Glenn Schumiak’s contract for one year. The transcript records Chair and multiple members voting aye and one board member (Mark) saying no; the motion passed.
- Facilities projects: the board approved a revised proposed 2025‑26 facilities project plan that includes a two‑classroom modular addition at Ferguson Elementary (rough cost line cited for the modular at about $560,000 in the facilities discussion); the motion passed with one board member abstaining due to absence from the room.
Why it matters: The personnel and contract motions maintain staffing authorizations and contract statuses for the coming year; the facilities action directs the district to move forward with a priority modular to create classroom space while separating recurring maintenance items from larger construction projects potentially addressed via bond measures.
Transcript and procedure notes: Many routine items were handled as roll calls with vocal aye responses; the record does not include detailed numerical tallies for every vote. For the superintendent extension, the transcript specifically records one no vote by a board member (Mark) and chair and others voting aye.
Next steps: Business services and facilities staff will proceed with planning for the Ferguson modular and bring implementation details, budgets and timelines back to the board. Administration will report on grant execution and personnel onboarding per normal business procedures.
