Votes at a glance: Alma School District board approves minutes, budget publication, calendars, contracts and personnel recommendations
The Alma School District board took several routine actions and personnel votes during the meeting. Board members recorded unanimous voice approvals on procedural items, the budget publication for the November election, adoption of two school‑calendar options, a superintendent contract extension and multiple employment recommendations.

Minutes and consent agenda
The board approved minutes from January meetings and carried the consent agenda by voice vote. “All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries,” the chair said when calling the vote.

Budget publication
Trustees approved the required single‑publication budget notice for the November election as presented.

School calendars
The board adopted two calendar options — the district’s alternate hourly calendar and a traditional 178‑day calendar — and authorized the district to implement the calendar permitted by final state law. A trustee noted a typographical date error in the draft calendar and the superintendent said it would be corrected before publication.

Superintendent contract extension
After returning from executive session, trustees approved an extension of the superintendent’s contract through June 30, 2028. A motion to approve the contract extension was made and seconded; the chair called for the voice vote and said, “Aye.” The motion carried.

Personnel and hires
The board approved offers of employment for administration and district support staff and accepted recommendations to hire multiple certificated staff, including the district’s listed hires for athletic coaching and classroom positions. These personnel approvals were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

Ending: The board adjourned following the approvals. Meeting minutes and the district personnel packet were referenced for specific hire names and contract language.
