The Chisholm Public School District board approved its meeting agenda and a consent package that included personnel hires, several grant acceptances and routine policy reviews.
The consent agenda approved encompassed the April 13, 2026 minutes; authorization for staff (including Ryan Fredus) to take professional courses; the hire of Jamie Johnson as senior class advisor for the remainder of 2025–26 and for 2026–27 (stipends listed in the minutes); acceptance of a $60,000 Lake Country Power Education Improvement Program grant to support a lifetime-fitness curriculum; addition of track to student activity accounts effective May 21, 2025; and a $3,670 Owens family foundation grant to support health-office student training fees. Policies 516 (student medication), 516.5 (overdose medication) and 514 (bullying prohibition) were reviewed with no changes.
Superintendent and board members thanked staff involved in grant applications and program work. Principal Miss Albert offered a brief update while the board handled the consent items.
The board also considered personnel actions. It approved a nonrenewal procedure relating to an employee identified in the record as 'Pearson,' effective June 30, 2026; board members explicitly stated that the action was a staffing decision and not related to performance. The board then approved an updated 2025–2026 seniority list, adding early education aides, Indian education positions and bus drivers. The update was moved by Director Lappy and supported by Director Simon; the motions were carried by voice votes.
