Votes at a glance
- Cartwheel teletherapy agreement: Approved on a motion by Ms. Krause and second by Miss Hinoz. (See separate article for full discussion.)
- Community Engagement Committee membership: The board moved to appoint an initial set of school-director representatives (Doctor Mattis, Mister Feser and Miss Lyons) as the board's starter membership; the motion passed by voice vote and the committee was authorized to schedule an initial meeting and invite community representatives.
- Policies (first reading) updates: The board approved a set of policy changes on first reading (including educator-misconduct citations, employee resignation language, and an update renaming "naloxone" references to the broader term "opioid antagonist" where appropriate). The motion was moved by Ms. Krause and seconded by Ms. Haynes and carried on roll-call vote.
- Softball field fencing contract: The board approved the Buffalo Valley Fence Supply quote for installation of protective fencing and a 4-foot home-run fence with yellow topper on the district softball field. The motion was moved by Ms. Haynes and seconded by Doctor Graham; the board noted Buffalo Valley offered the lowest of three quotes and had previously completed district fencing work.
- Personnel actions and hires: The revised personnel report was approved on a motion by Miss Lyons and seconded by Ms. Krause. One board member (Mister Dean) abstained from the vote on the assistant baseball coach because the appointee is his son; the remainder of the personnel slate was approved.
The board did not take additional substantive policy actions beyond the first readings and directed staff to proceed with contract implementation steps where voted. Several items (program updates, building reports and community outreach) were presented for information only.
