The Board of Education of ISD #306 adopted a Resolution Reducing and Discontinuing Educational Programs and Positions and approved four individual layoff resolutions effective May 25, 2026.
The board voted unanimously to place Autumn Kahlstorf, Hope Schmidt, Clara Berry-Ward and Danielle Ausk on layoff, each by separate roll-call motion. The motions were made and seconded during the new-business portion of the meeting and each carried with a unanimous roll-call vote of the five members present.
The actions followed a broader motion the board approved the same night to reduce and discontinue unspecified programs and positions; the motion to adopt the overall resolution passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. The minutes do not itemize which programs were reduced or the staffing rationale beyond the adopted resolution; those details were not specified in the record.
The district also approved other personnel items in the same meeting, including accepting the resignation of Lincoln Ryan (PE/DAPE/Health) effective at the end of the 2025–26 school year and authorizing a 0.40 FTE purchase-of-services arrangement with Walker Public School to provide a shared PE/DAPE teacher.
