Board approves policies, audit and routine business; moves to executive session on personnel
Summary
The Mobridge‑Pollock School Board approved a consent agenda, superintendent evaluation and bullying policies, the instructional calendar, an EL plan, and the FY25 audit; it authorized advertising for mowing and baling bids and later voted to enter executive session to discuss personnel appointments and resignations.
At its meeting the Mobridge‑Pollock School Board approved a series of routine and compliance items and authorized staff to proceed on procurement tasks.
Key approvals included the consent agenda (minutes, financial reports, claims and open enrollment), the second reading and adoption of a standardized superintendent evaluation form, consolidation and adoption of a bullying policy (combining cyberbullying and other bullying), and final approval of the instructional calendar. The district also adopted an English learner (EL) plan to meet accreditation requirements and approved the FY25 audit report after minor, routine findings.
On procurement and facilities, the board authorized staff to advertise for mowing and baling services and directed staff to gather additional quotes and attachment pricing for a proposed mower replacement (Grasshopper vs. Kubota) ahead of an April decision. Facilities staff also proposed piloting in‑house fertilizing of school grounds to reduce contracted costs.
The meeting concluded its public business by voting to enter an executive session to discuss personnel appointments and resignations.
Actions recorded in open session (voice votes and procedural approvals): the consent agenda was approved (motion by Travis, second by Levi); the superintendent evaluation form and bullying policy were adopted on motions at second reading; the calendar and EL plan were adopted; and the audit report was approved. The transcript records voice votes rather than roll‑call tallies for most motions.
