Walker-Hackensack-Akeley board approves contracts, $65,000 sign; one personnel agreement fails
Summary
At its May 11 meeting the Walker-Hackensack-Akeley School Board approved multiple personnel agreements and purchases — including a digital sign not to exceed $65,000 — and voted down the Activities Director agreement 3-4 before referring it to the negotiating committee.
The Walker-Hackensack-Akeley School Board met Monday, May 11, 2026, and approved several personnel agreements and purchases while rejecting one contract vote. The board approved the Special Education Finance Manager and Elementary Principal agreements for 2025–2027, authorized purchases including technology and a digital sign not to exceed $65,000, and accepted routine consent-agenda personnel actions. The vote to approve the Activities Director Agreement for 2026–2028 failed on a 3–4 roll call.
The meeting followed the board's standard consent process and included routine approvals: the agenda and April 13 minutes were both approved unanimously, the consent agenda passed 7–0, and multiple hires and resignations were recorded. After the failed Activities Director vote — recorded yes votes from Ben Jacobson, Keane Johnson and Luke McGregor and no votes from Michael Anderson, Linsey McMurrin, Shannon Pfeiffer and Barbara Sherman — the board unanimously voted to forward the agreement to the negotiating committee for further work. The board set a special meeting for June 2 and adjourned at 6:46 p.m.
