Vallivue School District board approves meeting agenda; reviews consent items and personnel lists
Summary
At its July 8, 2025 regular meeting in Caldwell, the Vallivue School District #139 Board approved the meeting agenda, reviewed a consent agenda listing $4,511,719.56 in bills and multiple personnel actions, heard an election timeline and adjourned at 6:04 p.m.
The Vallivue School District #139 Board met July 8, 2025, at Vallivue Crossing in Caldwell. Board Chair Toni Brinegar called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.; Trustee Jennifer Cox moved to approve the agenda as presented, Trustee Clay Christensen seconded and the motion carried 4-0.
Why it matters: The meeting presented routine but consequential district business — a consent agenda that lists more than $4.5 million in bills, multiple resignations and new hires for the 2025–26 school year, and the timetable for upcoming trustee elections. Those items affect district finances, staffing and governance continuity heading into the new school year.
The published consent agenda included approval of minutes, bills (summary listed as $4,511,719.56), budget reports, resignations and retirements, new hires and summer school hires, changes of job status and extracurricular assignments, student teacher listings, certificate renewals and multiple policy readings. The agenda enumerated policies for second reading (262P, 276, 276F3, 544, 631, 631P, 648, 912, 914, 942) and listed policy 771 (Charging School Meals) for third reading and acceptance.
Personnel items listed on the agenda included several resignations and nonrenewals reported as effective at the end of the school year (examples: Susanne Gehrke, ML para; Teresa Diaz, VHS custodian; Colleen Johnson, VHS counselor; Jon Cooper, VMS football coach). The agenda also listed certified and classified new hires for 2025–26 across district campuses (examples: Kari Schumaker, 6th-grade science teacher, Summitvue; Kristin Worley, district nurse; Kyle Ramstack, social studies teacher, RHS).
Dalelyn Allen, the district’s director of finance, presented the trustee election timeline and told trustees that paperwork for the election is due to the elections office between Aug. 18 and Aug. 29; Allen said the required paperwork has been sent to the two trustees involved.
Before adjourning, Chair Brinegar reminded the board of the Staff Welcome Back Breakfast and keynote speaker scheduled for Aug. 8. With no executive session required, Trustee Clay Christensen moved to adjourn, Trustee Amy Johnson seconded, and the meeting adjourned at 6:04 p.m.
Next steps/notes: The agenda items as presented will move forward per usual board procedures; specific votes or formal approvals on individual consent items were presented on the agenda packet and are recorded there. The board did not hold an executive session during this meeting.
