The Brookings School District 05-1 board on an online meeting (date not specified) voted to accept the resignation of board member Kelly Books, declared the resulting vacancy, authorized notice and opened an application period to fill the seat. The board also approved changing the start time of its Nov. 17 meeting from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Cassie, identified in the meeting as a board participant, moved the motion to accept Books’ resignation and to proceed with public notice and interviews "in accordance with legal requirements," and a second was recorded. Stacy conducted roll call for the votes; the board approved the resignation motion by voice vote. The meeting record shows affirmative responses were recorded during the roll call and the board chair declared the motion passed.
Speaker 2 presented the separate motion to shift the Nov. 17 meeting time to 3:30 p.m., saying the later start would better accommodate candidates interested in the vacancy. The board approved that change by voice vote, with multiple members indicating their assent.
Cassie also read the district vision statement during the meeting: "Empowering all learners to embrace and be inspired to realize their potential." With the two agenda items completed, the meeting was declared adjourned.
Next steps noted by the board include issuing notice of the vacancy, opening the application period and scheduling interviews to fill the seat; the meeting record did not specify application deadlines, interview dates or the exact timetable for choosing a replacement.
