Trustees approved a job‑share contract for the 2025–26 school year, with the motion moved by Annette and seconded by Chris. The vote passed with four yeses and one abstention after a trustee disclosed a personal conflict of interest.

When asked to state a reason, the trustee said the abstention was due to a "personal conflict of interest with a family member." The superintendent said the district had checked with legal counsel and that, because the employee is an adult and financially independent, there was no legal conflict, but the trustee elected to abstain "in the spirit of decorum and wanting to make sure that things are done properly and ultra above board." The board recorded the vote as 4 yes, 0 no, 1 abstention.
