School board adopts agenda, approves personnel moves, job-description change and other items
Summary
At its meeting the school board adopted the agenda, approved minutes and a series of personnel and administrative items including an athletic director appointment and a job description revision; the board also scheduled a March 18 meeting in Steinhatchee and set a brief executive session after the meeting.
The School Board adopted the meeting agenda and approved minutes, and approved multiple personnel and administrative items during a meeting that included a superintendent report and several school updates.
The board opened by adding an item to the consent agenda: an amended contract request tied to FEMA with Synergy Dis Disaster Recovery LLC (added as item 8.02). That consent addition, the adoption of the agenda and the other consent items carried with the board’s voice vote.

Why it matters
These actions implement routine personnel and administrative business for the district: appointments, job classifications, equipment acknowledgments and student-discipline actions. The appointment of an athletic director and a change to a grants/CTE role directly affect district staffing and program support going into the spring semester.
Ending
Board members and administrators closed the meeting after roughly seven hours in session, with the board taking a short break and then moving into a brief executive session.
