Board ratifies multiple personnel actions, hires and resignations from closed session
Summary
Following closed session, the board unanimously approved several personnel actions: hires and transfers in the elementary kitchen, two resignations, two retirement contracts effective after 2029–30, and an employee contract for Hannah Jansen at $54,522.40 annually.
After adjourning to closed session earlier in the meeting, the Dakota CUSD 201 Board of Education reconvened and approved multiple personnel actions as part of the action-items report from closed session.
Approved actions included hiring Molly Larson as elementary kitchen manager at $16/hour; transferring Cait Grigsby to a 6.25-hour elementary kitchen position at $15.60/hour; hiring Kimberly Maize as an elementary kitchen employee at $15/hour; accepting the resignations of Cynthia Vrazsity (elementary kitchen) and Barb Snyder (elementary paraprofessional); and approving retirement contracts for Jacki Spaide and Dean Lotz that take effect at the end of the 2029–2030 school year. Each motion was presented, seconded, and recorded as passed unanimously (Yea:7, Nay:0).
The board also approved an employee contract for Hannah Jansen with a yearly salary of $54,522.40 for 190 days at 8 hours per day. The motions were recorded in the transcript with explicit hourly rates and the annual salary for the one contract; other employment details (benefits, start dates) were not specified in the public transcript and remain part of personnel files.
Board members identified motions and votes publicly but did not provide additional discussion or rationale in the open session transcript. Personnel matters had been addressed in closed session as permitted under state law; the board reported and ratified the formal actions in open session.
