The Osceola Public Schools Board of Education approved its consent agenda and discussed vehicle replacement options during a regular meeting called to order at 6:00 PM; the transcript does not state the meeting date (a public notice was posted Oct. 9, 2025).
The consent agenda — covering approval of the previous meeting’s minutes, the treasurer’s report and payment of general fund claims totaling $345,289.26 — passed after a motion by Jennifer Boruch and a second by Daisy Naber. The board’s recorded votes were: Boruch Yea, Mestl Yea, Naber Yea, Neujahr Yea, Ockander Yea, Yungdahl Yea.
Board President Michael Neujahr opened the meeting. Student Council President Graci Conkling delivered the student body report. Athletic Director Jason Zelasney reported on fall sports (football 3-4 with playoffs next week; volleyball 18-6 and #2 seed for the CRC tournament; softball 5-21) and noted One Act begins Nov. 1 with 41 students participating. Elementary Principal Sarah Johnson and MS/HS Principal Evan Feezell provided written and verbal updates on testing, professional development and parent-teacher conferences; Principal Johnson noted 12 students scored in the 95th percentile on MAPS testing. Superintendent Jason Lavaley reported that coop property remains with the title company, that high-school parking-lot lights were replaced, and referenced an NCSA Legislative Preview on Dec. 10 and CRC updates (the transcript does not define the NCSA or CRC acronyms).
During action-item discussion, board members reviewed replacement options for district vehicles. The options discussed included reallocating an activities bus to route service and purchasing a new activities bus, and replacing existing vans with either 14-passenger buses or Suburbans. The transcript records discussion of options but does not record a formal motion or vote on vehicle purchases.
The board agreed to schedule the superintendent evaluation for the November regular meeting; the transcript records the scheduling decision but does not record a mover, seconder or vote for that item. The board announced its next regular meeting for Nov. 10, 2025, at 6:00 PM at the Osceola Middle/High School Media Center. The meeting was adjourned at 6:52 PM on a motion by Eric Yungdahl with a second by Anthony Mestl; recorded votes matched the consent vote (all six recorded members voting Yea).
