Summary
The ISD 640 Board of Education voted Jan. 15, 2026, to offer the superintendent position to Anthony Aafedt and directed the negotiations committee to begin contract talks if he accepts; the motion carried unanimously with one board member absent.
The ISD 640 Board of Education (Wabasso Public School District) voted on Jan. 15, 2026, to offer the district’s superintendent position to Anthony Aafedt. The motion, made by Mary Haberman and seconded by Robyn Hillesheim, carried unanimously; the record notes that all board members were present except Travis Welch.
According to the minutes, the board directed its Negotiations Committee to begin negotiating contract terms if Aafedt accepts the offer. The motion text recorded in the minutes states: "Following that discussion, a Motion was made by Mary Haberman and seconded by Robyn Hillesheim that the ISD 640 Board of Education offer the Superintendent position to Anthony Aafedt and upon acceptance direct the Negotiations Committee to begin negotiating the terms of the contract. Motion carried unanimously." Chairperson Josh Goche adjourned the special meeting at 7:38 p.m.
The minutes list Principal Matt Captain and Wade McKittrick of BetterU Solutions among those present; a roster of visitors appears in the record but does not indicate public testimony on the hiring decision. The board previously conducted second-round interviews earlier in the evening before recessing and reconvening for discussion and the subsequent motion. The record does not include a signed contract or any negotiated terms; those details will appear if and when the negotiations committee reports back to the board.
