Jamestown Public School Board approves summer courses, audit agreement and personnel items
Summary
At its April 7 meeting the Jamestown Public School Board unanimously approved the 2026 summer school courses and contracts, continued its audit agreement with the incumbent firm and approved a 2026–27 support-staff wage schedule; the board also accepted one resignation and authorized one conditional hire.
The Jamestown Public School Board approved a slate of routine agenda items at its April 7 meeting in the Thompson Community Room, including the district's 2026 summer school courses and contracts, continuation of the district audit agreement and a new support-staff wage schedule for 2026–27.
Board chair called for the consent agenda and, after motions and seconds from board members, the items passed by voice vote. "Motion carried," the chair announced after the vote.
The board approved the 2026 summer school course list (motion by Jason, second by Jamie) and later approved associated summer-school contracts (motion by Melissa, second by Owen). The board also voted to continue its existing audit agreement (motion by Aaron, second by Melissa). Jamie moved and Dan seconded approval of the 2026–27 support-staff wage schedule; the superintendent had earlier noted that board member Steve Veldkamp declared a conflict for that item because his spouse is a district paraprofessional.
The board approved the resignation of Medora Perleyburg (whose name appears in meeting materials alternatively as Madora Perleyberg); Melissa moved and Dan seconded the motion and the board thanked the employee for their service. The board also approved a conditional hire for Paul Wontzick for 2026–27, pending a successful background check and receipt of licensure (motion by Jason, second by Jamie).
On policies, the board approved amended policy DDBC (bereavement leave), moved forward ACCA (rules for offenders on school property) and took a first reading of ACCA BR (criteria for granting parent offenders privileges to enter school property). Board member Melissa asked whether parents who are registered offenders would trigger broader notification; the superintendent said state law governs notification and that building-level staff and the school resource officer handle check-in procedures.
No substantive budget or staffing reductions were adopted during the meeting; votes recorded at the meeting covered the items listed above and were carried by voice vote.
The meeting adjourned after announcing the next meeting on April 20 and listing upcoming graduation events.
