Board moves in executive session; approves termination and contract release actions
Summary
After executive session deliberations, trustees approved termination of one employee contract and authorized notices for another; votes and recusals were recorded on the public record.
Following an executive session held under Idaho Code §74-206(1)(b), the Preston Joint School District board approved several personnel actions.
Administrative counsel Amy White led a public hearing prior to executive session in which Superintendent Lance Harrison testified the employee in question had not reported to work and had not responded to district contact attempts. The board received documentation and scheduled a written submission deadline prior to deliberations.
In open session after executive deliberations trustees approved termination of Employee A’s contract. The motion to terminate Employee A was made by Geniel Lyons, seconded by Launa Moser, and carried; the record shows Chris Jones recused on that motion. Trustees also authorized issuing a notice to Employee B. Vote tallies and recusals were entered into the minutes.
Board policy and Idaho statute (Idaho Code §33-513) were cited during the hearing on process for employee hearings. The board directed staff to provide written notices and to follow the statutory hearing and appeal processes where applicable.
