Twin Valley School District board approves senior pass, Hudl ticketing contract and multiple personnel actions

The Twin Valley School district board approved a package of administrative and personnel measures, including a free senior citizen pass for district residents age 65 and a contract for online ticketing services with Hudl.

The board voted to approve a free senior citizen pass for any Twin Valley School District resident age 65. The board also approved a three‑year contract for online ticketing with Hudl (referred to in the meeting as Huddl/Huddl Sports Technology, Inc.). The meeting record lists the contract term as beginning Aug. 1; the transcript contains an inconsistent end date for the three‑year term and the board did not read an explicit final calendar end date during the motion.

The board approved a three‑month lease addendum extending occupancy by Anchored by Grace Ministries for the farmhouse on Pecosauga Road. Trustees accepted two support‑staff resignations and approved a slate of professional and supplemental nominations for the 2025–26 school year. The treasurer’s report for July (listed in the meeting record as July 2020) was presented and accepted.

Two board policies were moved forward on first reading: policy on educational opportunity for military children (referred to in the meeting as “policy 254, educational opportunity for military children”) and board policy 122.2, student activity fees. Both first readings were advanced to a second reading by voice vote; board members noted at least one written comment had been received about how failure to pay activity fees would affect student eligibility for activities (an email referenced by a board member asked that lines 41–42 be discussed further).

Why this matters: the senior pass and the Hudl ticketing contract change how residents engage with district activities and how the district sells and delivers event tickets. The lease extension affects the district’s property management and an external nonprofit tenant. Personnel actions affect staffing at the start of the school year; moving the two policies to second reading begins the formal process for potential future policy changes.

Key details and outcomes (as recorded in the meeting transcript): - Approval of agenda and approval of the July 21, 2025 minutes — voice votes, approved. - Senior citizen pass: Motion made and seconded; voice vote, approved.

Discussion and clarifications recorded in the meeting: board members suggested outreach channels for the senior pass (website, ticketing signage, coaches and parents). For the Hudl contract, board members asked whether existing activities (band, camera operations) use the system.

No motions failed or were tabled during the business portion recorded in the transcript. The board reported that an executive session had occurred earlier in the meeting to discuss legal and personnel matters; no actions from the executive session were reported in open session.

Ending: The board adjourned after routine business and reports; the next board meeting date referenced in the meeting was Aug. 27.
