Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting, the North Butler Community School District Board of Education approved $136,695 in additional allowable growth for At‑Risk/Dropout Prevention, accepted personnel changes, approved an FCCLA fundraiser and authorized up to $10,000 for elementary roof repairs. An insurance deductible payment item was tabled.
The North Butler Community School District Board of Education met Jan. 13, 2025, in the Allison Media Center and approved a slate of routine business, including $136,695 in additional modified allowable growth to fund At‑Risk/Dropout Prevention programs.
Board President Ty Crawford‑Miller called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. The minutes list board members Amanda Lund (via phone), Jordan Nolz (via phone), Heather Shook and Laurie Shultz as present; Superintendent Bryan Boysen and Business Manager/Board Secretary Shellee Bartlett were also noted as present. The minutes also list Laurie Shultz as absent later in the same record; the minutes do not resolve that discrepancy.
Board member Heather Shook moved to approve the meeting agenda; Amanda Lund seconded, and the motion carried unanimously, as did subsequent motions approving the December 2024 minutes and accepting the December financial reports and the January bill listing. The minutes note motions “carried unanimously” but do not provide a roll‑call tally.
In personnel business, the board accepted resignations from Brian Folkerts (junior high football) and Olivia Rademaker (associate). The board approved hiring Breanna Gibbons as an associate and Catherine Anderson in food service at $14.00 per hour, and authorized Keith McCormick to serve as a volunteer track coach.
The board approved a fundraiser request from FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America). It also approved additional modified allowable growth for the 2025‑26 fiscal year in the amount of $136,695 to support At‑Risk/Dropout Prevention programming.
The board set a public hearing on the 2025‑26 school calendar for Feb. 10, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. in the Greene Media Center, and approved the second reading of policy 503.08 (Discipline of Students Who Make Threats of Violence or Cause Incidents of Violence) along with items in the 400 series concerning employees. Item 12, a proposed insurance payment to lower the district deductible, was tabled and no vote is recorded in the minutes on that matter.
The board approved an early graduation request for Trenton Klingenborg contingent on completion of all state and local graduation requirements and authorized up to $10,000 for roof repairs at the elementary school.
The meeting adjourned at 6:47 p.m. The minutes list the next regular board meeting as Feb. 10, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. in Greene.
