Board notes uncontested seats, safety committee recommends shared emergency language
Summary
Superintendent Larson said two board seats were uncontested and retained; the safety committee reported stable incident trends and recommended mirroring Sioux Falls Police emergency terminology for consistent messaging across agencies.
Superintendent Larson informed the board that petitions for two board seats were filed such that no school board election will be held for those seats; the transcript lists the petitioners as David Bell and Veil. The board recorded this as an uncontested retention of those seats.
A board member reported on the May 28 safety committee meeting. The committee heard an update from the school resource officer indicating steady or improved incident trends and recommended the district mirror the emergency-language terminology used by the Sioux Falls Police Department so the Brandon Police and district messaging align. The report also covered PSA timing and content and discussed potential crosswalks near the high school to reduce student risk.
The board approved several routine general-business items and personnel actions during the meeting; items 12–15 were presented as information only for further review.
No additional action was taken on safety-policy changes; the committee’s recommendation on standardized emergency language was described as guidance for future coordination with local law enforcement.
