Summary

Board called an election for an elementary trustee seat after boundary updates, renewed the multistrict agreement through 2028, and approved hires including two paraprofessionals, a custodian and substitutes.

Board members moved through several routine but consequential business items. After administrators reported that Madison County and the Montana State Library have updated boundary data and that corrections should be in place for the upcoming school election, the board voted to call for an election for an elementary trustee seat. The board then voted to extend the district's multistrict agreement for three more years, allowing the elementary and high‑school districts to bank unexpended general‑fund dollars for future designated uses.

The board approved a slate of personnel actions: hiring paraprofessionals Jennifer Bebout and Mark Leinier to serve grades 6‑12, hiring custodian Leo Maestas (noted to have more than 20 years' experience), and approving substitutes Brianna Cameron and Francine Janek. The board also approved elementary and high‑school claims and adjourned the meeting.
