The Ralston Public Schools Board opened its Jan. 12, 2026 meeting with officer nominations and routine business. Board members nominated Carrie Hock for president and Liz Kumar for secretary during the reorganization portion of the meeting; nominations were moved and seconded and the board proceeded with the evening's business.
The board approved a consent agenda that included the Dec. 8, 2025 minutes and the district’s December financial reports. The district presented December bills totaling $561,764.84 for the general fund and $166,001.70 for the special building fund. The agenda also included resignation letters from multiple staff members; administration read out the names for the record. A motion to approve the consent agenda was made, seconded and passed on a roll-call vote with board members recorded as voting in the affirmative.
Board members discussed a small procedural question about whether to remain seated or rotate seats when reorganizing officer assignments; no substantive change to policy was made. The meeting then moved to regular reports, including the district financial update, strategic-plan presentations and action items later in the agenda.
The board scheduled follow-up items and committee assignments to be reflected in minutes and future agendas. Next formal action items on the agenda included contract awards for facilities work and an appointment to serve as the district’s nondiscrimination/Title IX coordinator.
