Board approves MSBA policy reviews and adds 1.0 FTE first-grade position; hires Rebeka Kappedal
Summary
The board approved reviews of several MSBA policies, approved adding a 1.0 FTE first-grade teacher position and separately approved hiring Rebeka Kappedal as a first-grade teacher; motions carried without roll-call tallies in the minutes.
The Staples-Motley School Board approved a review of several Minnesota School Board Association (MSBA) policies at the Sept. 22 meeting and approved personnel actions including adding a 1.0 FTE first-grade elementary teacher and hiring Rebeka Kappedal.
Policy items approved for review included MSBA policies 209 (Code of Ethics), 210 (Conflict of Interest ' School Board Members), 301 (School District Administration), 305 (Policy Implementation), 415 (Mandated Reporting of Maltreatment of Vulnerable Adults), 512 (School Sponsored Student Publications), 611 (Homeschooling), 903 (Visitors to School District Buildings and Sites) and 906 (Community Notice of Predatory Offenders). Motion to approve the review was made by board member Reese and seconded by Reeck; motion carried.
In personnel business, a motion by Frisk, seconded by Wright approved adding a full-time first-grade teacher position. The board separately moved and carried to hire Rebeka Kappedal for a first-grade teaching position. The minutes record both actions as carried; no individual vote tallies were provided in the transcript.
Why it matters: approving policy reviews keeps district policy current with MSBA recommendations; adding a full-time elementary classroom position and approving a named hire affects staffing and class sizes for the coming year.
