Board approves consent agenda, amended administrator contract and a student-admissions policy
Summary
At its May 12 meeting the McMinnville School District board approved the consent agenda, voted to approve an addendum to an administrator contract (acting superintendent compensation/stipend), and adopted a revised student admissions policy concerning foster-care residency under McKinney‑Vento law.
The McMinnville School District Board of Directors recorded three formal actions during the May 12 business meeting: approval of the consent agenda, approval of an addendum to an administrator contract, and adoption of a revised student admissions policy (JEC).
Consent agenda
A motion to approve the consent agenda was made and seconded during the meeting; the chair called for voice vote and the consent agenda passed unanimously.
Addendum to administrator contract (acting superintendent compensation)
The board considered an addendum to an administrator contract authorizing additional compensation for the acting superintendent for service from April 14 through June 30 (a daily stipend calculated as 20% of annual salary pro‑rated by contract days). Director Hall explained the calculation: the annual premium amount (20% of salary) was divided by the 235‑day administrator contract to derive a daily rate, then multiplied by the number of business days from April 14 through June 30 to reach the stipend total shown in the addendum. A motion to approve the addendum “as amended” was made and a roll-call-style voice vote recorded individual aye votes; the motion passed unanimously.
Policy JEC (student admissions and residency; McKinney‑Vento reference)
The board conducted a reading and then moved to adopt a revision to policy JEC (Student Admissions and Entrance Requirements) to reflect changes in McKinney‑Vento law affecting foster students. The text added (final sentence) states, in substance, that students placed in the district who are in foster care are residents of the district of origin unless a court determines that attending in the district of residence is in the student’s best interest. Board members discussed concerns about documentation for students who are in crisis and the practical implications of residency rules. A motion to adopt the policy passed (board voice vote recorded as unanimous). The board directed staff to communicate attendance and documentation considerations with the attendance team.
