Resident urges review of staff cut, saying students will be affected

During the Open Forum portion of the meeting, resident Deb Switzer spoke to the board about the district's decision to eliminate the position held by 'Mr. Koep.' Switzer said the elimination will have an impact on students and asked the board to conduct additional review to determine whether the decision was appropriate for all children.

The minutes record Switzer's request but do not show a board response or follow-up action during the meeting. The topic was recorded under Open Forum and not listed among action items that the board voted on that evening.
