Ralston board approves service providers, Title IX coordinator and several policies; adopts legislative goals
Summary
The Ralston Public Schools Board approved a slate of district service providers, named a nondiscrimination/Title IX coordinator, adopted legislative goals and approved two policy changes; votes were recorded by roll call.
At the meeting the Ralston Public Schools Board of Education approved several administrative items by roll call, including the district’s list of service providers, the appointment of a nondiscrimination and Title IX coordinator, legislative goals for the 2025 session and two recommended policy updates.
The board voted to approve the district service provider list, which names the district’s legal publication, banking providers and auditor. Board members noted the approval does not prevent the district from seeking other vendors during the year.
The board approved a motion appointing Melissa Stalli (listed as Melissa Stoli/Stall in staff materials) as Ralston Public Schools’ nondiscrimination compliance coordinator and Title IX coordinator. District staff explained a recent court decision has changed Title IX regulatory guidance and that the district will temporarily revert to the 2020 Title IX procedures while staff updates forms and training. Board members discussed workload implications for the appointed administrator and said cabinet assignments will be reviewed to avoid over-burdening staff.
The board also adopted its legislative goals for the 2025 session; staff said education and revenue committees in Lincoln will be most relevant to district priorities and reminded members of the legislative calendar and deadlines.
On policy motions, the board approved Policy 5019 (communicating with parents) and Policy 4050 (overtime and compensatory time) as recommended by the district’s policy service; both passed by roll-call vote after brief discussion. The board reviewed several other policies (meal charges, immunizations, student picture/video policy) and instructed staff to bring redline language back for approval where edits were suggested.
