Deuel board reorganizes leadership, approves routine appointments and modest fee changes
Summary
At its July 14 meeting the Deuel School District 19‑4 board swore in elected members, named D chair and Wade vice chair for FY26, approved an auditor, accepted resignations, and adopted several routine administrative items including a $1 increase to admission prices to support new card readers and a $5 bump to substitute pay.
The Deuel School District 19‑4 board completed annual organizational business during its July 14 meeting, swearing in new members, electing officers and approving routine administrative designations and fee adjustments.
During the organizational portion the board administered the oath of office to newly elected members. The assembled board then nominated and carried a unanimous ballot to elect D as chair for fiscal year 2026; Wade was elected vice chair by unanimous ballot.
On routine business the board approved the auditor proposal (quoted fee $17,000), authorized the business manager to advertise for fuel quotes for fiscal 2026 and approved a packet of annual designations (official depository, newspaper, authorized representatives and title‑I and special education designees). The board also authorized publication of employee salary lists per statutory requirements.
The board accepted resignations from two staff members — John Saither (middle school basketball coach) and Amanda Hillshime (counselor) — and authorized administrative follow‑up. The board approved a $2,000 Perkins Consortium stipend for Brian Tweet.
On activity pricing, the board voted to add $1 to single‑game admissions to accommodate an optional card‑reader ticketing platform and set the adult 20‑punch activity pass at $70 (up from $60). The student activity fee and most other prices were left unchanged. The board also approved increasing daily substitute pay from $130 to $135; long‑term substitute pay remains $175.
Board members said the card‑reader system would be optional, still allow cash at gates and provide better reporting on attendance and concession sales. Staff noted a membership rebate from the vendor could offset some startup costs.
The board handled these items by motion and voice votes and scheduled follow‑up procurement and implementation tasks with administration.
