USD 217 board tables hire of junior/senior high secretary until February
Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting, the USD 217 Board of Education recorded that the hiring of a junior/senior high secretary was tabled until the February meeting; the board also held several executive sessions under KOMA concerning non-elected personnel.
At its Jan. 13 meeting, the USD 217 Board of Education recorded that the hire for a junior/senior high secretary was tabled until the board’s February meeting.
The action appears in the meeting minutes after several executive sessions. The minutes state the board entered executive session under the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) multiple times to discuss non‑elected personnel; motions to enter those sessions were moved by board member Jason LaRue and seconded by Vice President Courtney Reza and were recorded as carrying 6-0. One later motion to enter executive session failed for lack of a second.
The minutes do not describe the contents of the executive‑session discussions, consistent with KOMA protections for personnel matters. Because the hire was formally recorded as “tabled,” no appointment was made at the Jan. 13 meeting and the matter will return to the board in February.
The board conducted routine business at the meeting, including approval of the agenda and prior meeting minutes and acceptance of warrants, petty cash and fund status reports. The meeting adjourned at 9:13 p.m.
Actions recorded in the minutes list the move to table the hire but do not include a recorded vote on the hire itself; the official minutes should be consulted for the February meeting for any subsequent action.
