Board approves MOU with Avera Saint Mary's to use Parkview as short-term holding zone
Summary
The board approved a memorandum of understanding allowing Avera Saint Mary's Hospital to use Parkview as a short-term holding zone for patients in rare, high‑significance incidents; the agreement will be signed and returned to the hospital.
The Stanley County School District 57-1 board approved a memorandum of understanding with Avera Saint Mary's Hospital that designates Parkview as a potential short-term holding location for patients in rare incidents requiring temporary shelter before transport. A board member described the arrangement as unlikely but useful: "it is a, you know, it's gonna be a rare instance... we would use Parkview as a holding zone for those patients," and the board voted to authorize signing and returning the document.
Logistics were discussed briefly—who will sign and how the hospital would route the agreement—and the board directed staff to sign and return the scanned document to the hospital contact. The motion carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
