The Jamestown Public School Board approved multiple motions during its April 7 regular meeting in the Thompson Community Room.
The board voted to approve cooperative agreements for dance activities with Victory Christian School and St. John’s Academy; to adopt an updated capital projects plan; to accept an audit agreement and accompanying audit scope; and to approve 2025 summer school course offerings and the associated contracts. The board also approved personnel items including a resignation and several hires, amendments to a teacher-evaluation policy and a tuition agreement for a Barnes County North student to attend Jamestown Public Schools.
Board members offered brief discussion on several items before votes. The cooperative-agreement motion was clarified on the record to include both Victory Christian School and St. John’s Academy.
