La Crescent-Hokah school board designates access official, approves two personnel actions
Summary
The La Crescent-Hokah School District board approved a state-required identity-access designee (Wally Janu, with Mandy as a backup) and took two personnel votes: it approved the termination of a tier-2 probationary teacher (one no vote) and approved an extension of another teacher’s probationary period.
The La Crescent-Hokah School District board on an administrative agenda approved a district designation required by the Minnesota Department of Education and took two personnel actions during a brief business meeting.
Board members voted to name Wally Janu as the district’s identified official with authority to comply with the MNIT enterprise identity-access management standard; Mandy was listed as an additional designee. A board speaker said the state gives the designee one year of system access but recommended redoing the designation every six months ‘‘so that if I was hit by a bus … there’d be 180 days where someone could figure it out,’’ and said staff would submit the designation to the state and update user accounts.
The board then considered personnel items. The board approved the termination and removal of a teaching contract for a tier-2 probationary teacher after a motion and second; during the roll-call vote one member (referred to in the transcript as Danny) cast the lone dissenting vote. The board also approved an extension of another teacher’s probationary period after a motion moved by Darcy and seconded by Daniel; no discussion was recorded on that item.
All motions were moved and seconded on the record. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that the board approved.
