NRHEG board approves insurance renewal, reduces one paraprofessional FTE and shifts staff development date
Summary
At its meeting the NRHEG board approved a commercial insurance renewal with a reported 6.9% increase in premium, approved a reduction of one paraprofessional position through attrition, and changed a staff development day from March 1 to March 15, 2027 to accommodate ACT testing; the board also approved the graduating class list.
The NRHEG School District board approved several routine but consequential administrative actions at its meeting.
Insurance renewal: Administration recommended renewing the district’s property, liability, auto and workers’ compensation insurance with the same carrier arranged by its broker. Staff reported a 6.9% premium increase compared with last year and recommended staying with the current carrier; the board approved the renewal by motion and voice vote.
Paraprofessional reduction: As part of a broader financial plan, administration recommended eliminating one paraprofessional FTE through attrition following a recent retirement. The superintendent framed the change as a planned adjustment to staffing while continuing to monitor student needs; the board moved, seconded and approved the reduction, which administration said will be at the elementary level.
Calendar change for ACT: The board approved a calendar change requested to accommodate ACT testing. Administration asked to move a scheduled staff development day from March 1 to March 15, 2027 so the district can host the ACT in the high‑school facility during the testing window; the high‑school principal and calendar committee were reported to be supportive and the board approved the change.
Graduation list: Administration presented a list of students on track to graduate in 2026 and recommended board acceptance (some students may still be completing requirements); the board approved the graduating class as presented.
Procedural notes: The board also scheduled its superintendent evaluation in the July/August window, tentatively after the August board meeting, and appointed members to principal and director negotiation committees.
All of the votes reported during the meeting were taken by voice and recorded as carried; meeting minutes and consent materials contain the formal motions and approval language.
