Summary
At its Dec. 10, 2025 meeting in the CHS Library, the Craig City School District Board approved routine consent items, the FY2025 audit and fund‑balance closeout, personnel and policy updates, and a change order for the CEMS rehabilitation project; it held an executive session on classified negotiations (no action).
The Craig City School District Board met Dec. 10, 2025, at the CHS Library and by remote connection and approved a slate of routine and fiscal items, including the FY2025 audit and a change order for the CEMS Rehabilitation Project.
Board Secretary/Treasurer Trish Conatser read the district mission and vision statements to open the meeting. The board approved the meeting agenda and the consent agenda — which included minutes from Oct. 22, 2025; financial statements for Oct. 1–Nov. 30, 2025; and correspondence from the Alaska Department of Education regarding school accountability reports and the FY2027 capital improvement project lists — on motions moved and seconded by Ben Page and Trish Conatser and recorded as passing unanimously.
During reports, Superintendent Jackie Hanson told the board that Congress had passed a reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools (SRS) program and that the measure awaited the president’s signature. Hanson also discussed the SOAR UP grant and said a proposed budget revision, if approved, could fund staffing to support career and technical education (CTE) expansion for up to five years. She noted Carl Perkins grant funding continues to support CTE supplies and recommended the district apply to pilot the state’s Embrace special‑education database as a replacement for the current PowerSchool Special Programs plug‑in; grant funds are available to assist migration and training.
Board business included approval of updates to board policy and administrative regulations recommended by the Policy Committee, adoption of the Personnel Report, and approval of the CCSD FY2025 audit and fund balance closeout. The board also authorized a change order for the CEMS Rehabilitation Project. All motions recorded in the transcript were noted as passing unanimously (vote counts were not specified in the record).
The board approved entering an executive session to prepare for CEA classified negotiations; the executive session ran from 7:49 to 8:23 p.m., and no action was taken. The meeting was adjourned after a motion to close.
Next steps: the district will proceed with the approved change order for the CEMS project and, if a grant budget revision is approved, pursue the recommended staffing to support CTE expansion. The transcript does not record specific vote tallies or the precise next meeting date beyond noting a motion to approve it.
