Summary
At a March 24 special meeting the Nome Public Schools Board approved eRate Category I & II contracts, hired Ayden Wickman as principal of Anvil City Science Academy, approved non‑tenured staff contract offers for 2026–27, and approved the final draft of the FY27 budget; dollar totals were not specified.
The Nome Public Schools Board of Education voted March 24 to approve a set of personnel and budget items during a special meeting at the NES Library.
Board Vice President Darlene Trigg called the meeting to order at 5:33 p.m. Board member Sigvanna Tapqaq moved to approve the agenda, and the roll call recorded the five board members listed as voting yes.
The board approved a consent agenda item authorizing out‑of‑state staff travel after a motion by Board member Jon Gregg. The board also approved contracts for eRate Category I and Category II funding, following a motion by Jon Gregg. The motions carried by roll call as recorded in the minutes.
The board approved a contract appointing Ayden Wickman as principal at Anvil City Science Academy after a motion from Sigvanna Tapqaq. The board likewise approved contract offers for non‑tenured certified staff for the 2026–2027 school year, again moved by Tapqaq. Each of these actions is recorded as carrying by roll call in the meeting minutes.
Board members then approved the final draft of the FY27 budget after a motion by Sigvanna Tapqaq. The transcript and minutes record approval of the final draft but do not specify the budget’s dollar total or line‑item details.
In closing remarks, Vice President Darlene Trigg thanked Superintendent Jamie Burgess and Genevieve Hollins for their work on the budget. The board announced upcoming meetings in April, May and June and adjourned at 6:01 p.m.
Votes at a glance: the record shows roll‑call approvals for the agenda; consent agenda out‑of‑state staff travel; eRate Category I & II contracts; the principal contract for Ayden Wickman; contract offers for non‑tenured certified staff for 2026–27; and the final draft of the FY27 budget.
