All motions passed unanimously.
TREVOR, Iowa — The Treynor Community School District Board of Directors on April 14 unanimously approved a series of administrative and personnel actions, including a change to the current school calendar and the superintendent’s contract for 2025–26.
The board voted to amend the 2024–25 calendar so students will make up one of two missed days by attending school on May 23, 2025, with a 1 p.m. dismissal; teachers will make up two days, working May 27 and May 28, 2025. Mr. Dreyer moved the amendment and Mr. Stogdill seconded; the ayes were unanimous.
Also on the agenda, the board approved a contract for Dr. Beyenhof to serve as superintendent for the 2025–26 school year as presented. The action followed routine reports from district staff and carried on a unanimous voice vote.
The district renewed its preventive maintenance HVAC agreement with Prairie Mechanical for $24,840, the board approved a memorandum of understanding with GHAEA for contracted services for 2025–26, and it approved substitute pay rates for the 2025–26 year as presented.
The board also approved a $0.75 per hour increase across all classified staff groups for FY26; the district said this results in average percentage increases ranging from about 2.7% to 4.5% depending on the employee group. The transcript notes the certified settlement was a minimum 4% with a 5.11% average, cited for context in the personnel discussion.
A consent agenda motion that carried included routine items: minutes (regular and special), bills (general, activity and nutrition), financial statements and reports by fund, fundraising (a girls basketball fundraiser), multiple personnel items including resignations and recommendations for seasonal hires and coaching positions, and a substitute teacher agreement for 2025–26 during an employee absence.
The board approved a resolution to prepay on the district’s bond as presented; the transcript records the motion carried but does not specify an amount or schedule for the prepayment.
The meeting concluded with announcements of upcoming meetings — a second budget public hearing scheduled for April 21, 2024 at 5:30 p.m., a budget approval meeting April 24, 2024 at 5:30 p.m., and the next regular board meeting on May 12, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. Mr. Christensen moved to adjourn; Mr. Dreyer seconded and the ayes were unanimous.
