USD 505 extends principals' contracts and approves assistant coach after executive sessions
Summary
Following multiple executive sessions under Kansas statute 75‑4319, the board extended principals' contracts through the 2027‑28 school year and approved Jessica Midgett as assistant coach for junior‑high and high‑school girls' basketball.
The Unified School District No. 505 board entered a series of executive sessions under Kansas Statute 75‑4319 to discuss first a student matter and then non‑elected personnel issues including separations, new hires and evaluations. Each executive session motion passed by board vote and open meetings resumed with no public action taken immediately after the sessions.
After the final executive session, the board returned to open session at 8:26 PM. On a motion by Kari Chambers seconded by Josh Baker, trustees voted 5‑0 to extend the contracts of district principals through the 2027‑28 school year. The board also approved Jessica Midgett as assistant coach for junior‑high and high‑school girls' basketball on a 5‑0 vote after Chambers moved and Baker seconded the motion.
All executive session motions cited Kansas Statute 75‑4319 as the legal basis for closing portions of the meeting to protect privacy related to student and personnel matters.
