Mobridge-Pollock 62-6 board approves certified and co-curricular contracts, hires administrative assistant and accepts resignations
Summary
The Mobridge-Pollock 62-6 school board approved certified and co-curricular contracts for 2026–27, authorized classified letters of intent, hired an administrative assistant starting May 4, and accepted multiple staff resignations, authorizing recruitment for several support roles.
The Mobridge-Pollock 62-6 school board on Tuesday approved contracts for certified teachers and co-curricular staff for the 2026–27 year, authorized classified letters of intent and accepted several resignations, including a certified teacher, while approving recruitment to fill support positions.
Board members voted to "approve the list as presented in executive session," a motion put forward during discussion of certified contracts and seconded by Board member Levi before the board voted in favor, the chair said. The board then approved co-curricular contracts for 2026–27 after a separate motion and vote.
A staff member summarized the certified-contract approach, saying, "It's kinda about the cert, sir," to explain the district's focus on offering contracts to fully certified and highly qualified staff for next year. The board also authorized sending letters of intent to classified employees after brief discussion and a motion that was seconded and approved.
The board approved two individual contracts presented together: a special-education hire identified in the minutes as Messakayan, and a prorated contract to carry Jason through July 1. A motion to approve those two contracts was recorded as moved by Dustin and seconded by Levi and was carried.
On personnel actions, the board accepted the resignation of certified staff member Hailey Camperman. The board also accepted multiple resignations in classified and co-curricular ranks and authorized advertising to fill two custodians, a food-service worker, a concession-stand supervisor, an SLP assistant and three assistant football-coach positions.
The board approved Item 15a to hire Donovan Connect as an administrative assistant at 21.19 hours per week, with the appointment to begin May 4; that hire was approved by motion and second. After completing business, the board adjourned.
Actions recorded in the meeting minutes show repeated motions and seconds by several board members (including Levi, Travis and Dustin). The meeting record does not list a roll-call vote by name for each motion; minutes record voice votes with members saying "aye," and the chair declared motions carried where noted.
