Summary

Multiple motions to table, postpone or assign committee work on an interim superintendent resulted in tied votes or failed amendments; the board took no formal action to appoint an interim superintendent.

The board engaged in multiple roll‑call motions concerning whether to discuss or to appoint an interim superintendent. A motion by Gohman to table discussion of an interim superintendent was recorded with yes votes from Wolf, Gohman and Tonder and no votes from Lemke, Levin and Wright; Jager abstained. Because the result was a tie the motion "died due to a tie vote." An amendment to postpone discussion until February 2025 and other related motions similarly failed on tie or failed roll calls; one later motion to have the board chair look into an interim superintendent failed and a motion to have the negotiations committee investigate also failed.

The minutes record the roll-call tallies for each motion; no interim superintendent was appointed and no committee assignment carried with a majority. The meeting concluded after a later unanimous motion to adjourn.
