USD 464 board accepts resignation, closes complaint and appoints interim superintendent
Summary
At a March 11, 2026 special meeting, the USD 464 Board of Education recessed into two executive sessions and then accepted the voluntary resignation of Mr. Feldkamp, closed a Jan. 9 complaint with no further action, and appointed Dr. Poyser as interim superintendent through June 2026; votes were taken by voice and no tallies were recorded.
The USD 464 Board of Education met in a special session March 11, 2026, and after two executive sessions accepted a voluntary resignation, closed a complaint filed Jan. 9, 2026, and appointed an interim superintendent.
The board chair moved that the meeting recess into executive session “pursuant to the attorney client privilege exemption under COMA for the purpose of consulting with the board's attorney” and said attorney Lori Cope would participate by phone; the motion carried and the chair announced the meeting would resume at 8:25. The board later recessed again under the “non elected personnel exemption under COMA” to discuss individual employee contracts and said the open meeting would resume at 8:40; that motion also carried by voice vote.
After returning to open session, the chair announced three actions emerging from the executive sessions. First, the board moved to accept “the voluntary resignation of Mr. Feldkamp subject to the terms of the separation and release agreement.” The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll-call tally was provided.
Second, the board moved that, “in light of the previous action accepting Mr. Feldkamp's voluntary resignation, the complaint filed on January 9, 2026 with the Board of Education be closed and no further action be taken.” That motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Third, the board moved to appoint “Dr. Poyser as interim superintendent through June 2026 with terms to be approved by the board at a future meeting.” The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board did not state the terms at the meeting; the chair said those terms will be approved at a future meeting.
Votes on the three motions were taken by voice; the minutes record that each motion "carried" but do not provide individual member vote tallies or names of movers/seconders beyond the chair’s motion and generic seconds. The meeting was adjourned with no additional board discussion.
