President Lettie Nickell called the Stanton County Unified School District #452 Board of Education into special session Thursday, Feb. 12, at 7:00 p.m. in the SCHS Board Room. The board unanimously approved the meeting agenda before taking up an informational item on the district’s superintendent search.
Steve Karlin, identified in the minutes as a KASB representative, attended to discuss the superintendent search and the candidate pool. The board listed the item as information/discussion/action but did not record any formal hiring decision in the minutes.
Following the discussion, President Lettie Nickell moved that the board enter executive session “to review personnel matters, resignation of staff, recommendations to hire staff, teacher and to protect the privacy of the individuals,” with Karlin and Board Clerk Melissa Wilson joining; Rhett Seyb seconded and the motion carried 7-0. The motion specified a one-hour session beginning at 7:02 p.m.; the board reported returning to open session at 8:03 p.m. The minutes record that Melissa Wilson left the meeting at 7:35 p.m.
