Board approves STARS Act MOU with BAEA
Summary
The Bigfork School District Board of Trustees unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding related to House Bill 252 (the STARS Act) with the BAEA after a brief explanation from Chairperson Paul Sandry; the transcript does not record MOU terms.
The Bigfork School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously on April 24 to approve a memorandum of understanding (MOU) related to House Bill 252, known in the transcript as the STARS Act, with the BAEA.
Chairperson Paul Sandry opened the meeting at 11:01 a.m. and explained the requirements of HB 252 and why the district was recommending an MOU with the BAEA. The transcript records a brief board discussion about the item but does not include the text of the MOU or specific implementation details.
Trustee Julie Kreiman moved to approve the STARS Act MOU with the BAEA as recommended; Trustee Deb Johnson seconded the motion. The motion passed by unanimous vote of the trustees present (Carol Field, Deb Johnson, Ben Woods, Julie Kreiman and Paul Sandry). Trustees Dan Elwell and Zack Anderson were noted absent.
Superintendent Tom Stack and Business Manager Lacey Porrovecchio were listed as in attendance; no public comments on the item or non‑agenda items were recorded in the transcript. The board then announced its upcoming meeting dates (May 14, June 18, July 9 and August 20, 2025, at 5 p.m. in the high school library) and adjourned at 11:08 a.m.
The transcript does not specify the substantive terms of the MOU, any implementation timeline, or funding implications. Those details were not recorded and therefore are not described here.
