At its meeting the North Marion School District board approved a budget appropriation transfer to cover transportation, designated Clear Trail CPAs as the district auditor, accepted the superintendent’s evaluation, and declared a vacancy after a board member resignation. Several votes were recorded by voice vote.
The North Marion School District board completed several formal actions by voice vote during its regular meeting, including a budget appropriation transfer to cover transportation shortfalls, acceptance of the superintendent evaluation, designation of a new audit firm, and acceptance of a board resignation and vacancy declaration.
Budget resolution: The board approved Resolution 441326A to transfer appropriations from instruction to support services/contracted services to cover transportation expenses after staff reported they had not budgeted enough for contracted transportation costs. The presenter said there was no time sensitivity if the board preferred to wait for the finance director; the board approved the resolution by voice vote.
Audit firm: The board approved designating Clear Trail CPAs as the district’s audit firm beginning with the 2025–2026 fiscal year. Board members asked about the timeline and how audit timing might change; staff said details will be discussed at a future work session.
Superintendent evaluation: The board moved to accept the formal superintendent evaluation and offered positive remarks about district leadership. The motion passed by voice vote.
Board vacancy: The board accepted the resignation of Dr. Robert Rodriguez from Position 4 and declared the seat vacant; the board voted to accept the resignation and declare the vacancy.
Procedure and votes: All of the listed actions were approved by voice vote with no recorded roll‑call tallies in the public minutes. The meeting closed with an announcement that the board would convene an executive session under the citation read into the record as "OS192.6602D" for labor negotiations/collective bargaining deliberations; the board said no public action would be taken on executive‑session matters.
What’s next: Staff said they will report back with details where necessary (contract terms, audit timing, and any personnel follow‑up).
