Summary

During public comment, visitors April and Eric Harsvick questioned the board’s decision not to renew a teacher contract for 2025–26 and asked about the teacher vacancy; the board noted it is accepting applications for teacher and bus driver/custodian positions.

Visitors April and Eric Harsvick used the public-comment period to ask about the board’s decision not to renew the present teacher contract for the 2025–26 school year and to seek clarification on the status of a teacher vacancy and the district’s staffing plan for the upcoming year.

The minutes record the Harsvicks’ questions but do not include a recorded response in the excerpt provided. Separately, the board’s new-business items note that the district is still accepting applications for teacher and bus driver/custodian positions. The minutes also reference a kindergarten screening conducted June 4, listed alongside the name Emily Johnson.

The record does not specify why the teacher contract was not renewed, which teacher was affected, or what interim staffing arrangements (if any) were approved. Those details are marked as not specified in the minutes and would require follow-up with district administration for clarification.
