Consultants, superintendent meet with staff and student councils ahead of potential referendum
Summary
Lori Christiansen of ICS and Superintendent Ranae Seykora told the school board they have been meeting with staff and both student council groups to allow student and staff debriefing and to surface priorities as the district prepares for a possible referendum.
The Board of Independent School District 308 (Nevis Public School District) received an update Nov. 17 that district leaders and outside consultants have begun outreach ahead of a potential referendum.
Lori Christiansen, from ICS, told the board that she and Superintendent Ranae Seykora "have been busy meeting with staff and both student council groups to allow them space to debrief and share their priorities as we move forward with a referendum." The minutes record the meetings as part of planning and engagement rather than a finalized proposal or ballot question.
Board members in attendance — Andy Lindow, Aimee Plumley (Clerk), Jen McNamee and Karrin Lindow — heard that the outreach is intended to gather priorities from students and staff so those perspectives can inform referendum planning. The update did not list specific dates, dollar amounts, or a finalized referendum question. The session was recorded as informational with no formal motions or votes recorded in these minutes.
The board's next regular meeting is set for Monday, Nov. 24, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. in the Media Center and via Zoom; any formal referendum steps would be expected to appear on a future agenda for public consideration.
