Board approves minutes, claims, activity accounts, hires and travel; discusses girls sports survey
Summary
At its meeting the Scobey K‑12 Schools board approved routine minutes and claims, authorized activity accounts, approved multiple hires (food services, paraprofessional, proctor, assistant coach), authorized substitute listings, approved bus‑route adjustments and travel for junior teams, and discussed surveying interest in new girls extracurriculars.
The Scobey K‑12 Schools board conducted routine business and approved a slate of personnel, policy and travel items.
Minutes were moved and approved. The board reviewed and approved claims (including a $4,000 field painter expense and a copier purchase reported as a multi‑district expense). The board also approved activity accounts after discussion about auditors’ restrictions on transferring funds from activity accounts that no longer have active groups.
Policy business included approval of a second reading of a board policy and acceptance of handbook changes for the 2025–26 school year. Discussion around the handbook touched on eligibility, random drug testing for participants and requirements for homeschooled students seeking MHSA participation; staff said homeschooled students must meet the same credit and eligibility requirements and sign required reports.
The board authorized revised bus routes after staff noted an omitted extra route that increased one route by roughly 20 miles; directors said the affected students remain in Daniels County and are still district students. The board also approved junior high and junior varsity football travel to Crosby, Tioga and potentially Canada as presented by the superintendent and permitted local discretion to sell 50/50 tickets at home football and volleyball events.
Personnel actions approved included hiring Leif Cornwell for food services (pending background check), adding a list of substitute employees to the district substitute list (pending background checks), hiring Tasia Hersl as a paraprofessional, hiring Teresa Bockran as a testing proctor, and approving Jeremy Handy as an assistant football coach (all pending background checks where noted).
The board also discussed interest in new girls extracurriculars (flag/"flight" football, wrestling, esports) and agreed to collect student/parent interest via survey before making program additions; members noted Title IX considerations if adding girls’ programs would require balancing boys’ offerings.
All motions noted in the transcript were moved and seconded on the record and passed by voice vote.
