Summary
At its May 12, 2025 regular meeting, the Board of Education of U.S.D. 438 approved a Cardiac Emergency Response Plan, approved supplemental positions for 2025–26 and voted to keep school fees unchanged; staff also reported on facilities work and an accreditation approval by KSDE.
The Board of Education of U.S.D. 438 (Skyline Schools) met in regular session on May 12, 2025. President Rex Robinson called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.; board members present included Nicole Curtis, Jerry DeWeese, Dustin Eubank, Mark Graber, David McComb and Allen Smith.
The board approved the meeting agenda on a motion by board member David McComb, seconded by Jerry DeWeese. On a subsequent motion by Dustin Eubank, seconded by Nicole Curtis, the board approved the consent agenda, which included the April 14, 2025 meeting minutes, approval of bills for general and special funds, activity and petty cash funds, and the treasurer’s report.
Superintendent Becca Flowers provided updates on the district’s fiscal outlook, noting the State General Fund profile through 2029, federal funding matters and the district’s property insurance status. The board received building reports from Elementary School Co-Principal Diane House and High School Co-Principal Steven Novotny, who previewed the district’s planned use of the How’s School Going platform to track learning and engagement.
Under old business, staff reported that bid requests for a roof restoration project on the vocational building will be sent in the next couple of weeks; the front door repair/replacement project was deferred for future consideration. The board noted that Skyline’s KESA II accreditation plan has been approved by the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE).

The board acted on routine governance and operational items; staff will proceed with bid solicitations for the vocational building roof and implement the approved Cardiac Emergency Response Plan and staffing changes.
