The Todd County School Board adopted the meeting agenda, approved multiple consent items (with one recusal and one abstention), and voted to enter executive session under South Dakota personnel law to discuss a personnel matter.

The Todd County School Board on Jan. 12 adopted its meeting agenda and approved a series of consent items before voting to enter executive session to discuss personnel.

At the start of the meeting the board confirmed all members were present and a motion to adopt the agenda for 01/12/2026 was made by Chris and seconded by Amanda; the chair recorded the voice vote as 5-0 in favor. The board then moved to the consent agenda after the chair asked that one consent item (volunteers and substitute section) be held and that the speaker recuse from that item.

A separate motion to approve a service/custodial-related consent item (described in the spoken record as "case for service custodians tax") was made and carried by voice vote. The minutes note one abstention: Michelle was identified as abstaining during that vote. The chair characterized the vote as carried.

Later in the meeting the board considered recommended additions to school board policy and voted to approve those changes (see separate article). The board also moved to delete several legacy policies as presented.

Near the end of the open session, the board voted to enter executive session under the cited authority "South Dakota codified law 1 25 2 1" to discuss personnel. Chris moved to enter executive session and Amanda seconded; the board voted in favor and the chair said the board would go into executive session at 05:47.

No personnel details were discussed in open session; the record indicates the executive session was called under the cited South Dakota statute for personnel matters. The open-meeting actions above were recorded on the meeting record; specific roll-call vote sheets beyond the voice votes in the transcript were not provided in the spoken record.
