Summary
At its June 20 meeting the Ralston Public Schools Board approved a package of policy updates, a sign-language interpreter contract for 2025–26, rescinded and accepted a resignation/return, and authorized a $69,544.65 math curriculum purchase. Trustees tabled a new student-appearance (dress-code) policy for further review.
The Ralston Public Schools Board voted on multiple items at its June 20 meeting. Key outcomes:
- Policies approved: The board approved a set of district policy updates that had been reviewed at the prior meeting. (Motion passed; roll-call votes recorded.)
- Student-appearance policy tabled: Trustees voted to table proposed policy 50-31 (student appearance/dress code) for further review and staff follow-up. Motion to table passed on a roll call; board members who voted “aye” included Ms. Rudy, Mrs. Krauss, Mrs. Richards, Mrs. Kummer, Mrs. Willey and Mrs. Huff.
- Sign-language interpreter contract: The board approved the sign-language interpreter (SLI) contract for the 2025–26 school year. The motion passed on a roll call.
- Personnel action: The board approved rescinding a previously accepted resignation and returning a staff member to the district (motion passed unanimously by roll call at the meeting).
- Curriculum purchase: Trustees approved purchase of additional Savas math curriculum materials in the amount of $69,544.65. The motion carried on a roll call vote.
Context and next steps: Several of the votes implement ongoing staffing and curriculum plans the district described during earlier reports. The student-appearance policy was the only item tabled for further legal and drafting work; staff said they will return recommended wording at the next meeting.
