Board approves policies, AEA ballot, Apex and other MOUs in routine business
Summary
The board approved second readings of multiple policies, cast its AEA ballot for the Region 5 candidate, and approved memoranda of understanding with Apex, Iowa Western and Northwestern College and SIAC membership for 2025–26.
During the discussion and action segment, the board approved a slate of routine governance and interdistrict cooperation items. The board approved the second reading of policy series (May 506, 507, 508 as presented) by unanimous voice vote. The board also voted to cast its Green Hills AEA Region 5 ballot for the sole Region 5 candidate (Edward Grama, name spelled variably in discussion) as its representative.
The board approved participation in the Apex consortium agreement for 2025–26 to permit special education student attendance through the Glenwood consortium, accepted the SIAC membership list for 2025–26 and approved an MOU with Iowa Western indicating interest in expanded Council Plus regional career‑technical seats (non‑financial, non‑binding). The board also approved an MOU with Northwestern College to accept student teachers when placements are available. Each motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
All approvals were presented as standard procedural items; the superintendent noted no substantive changes to the Apex agreement from the prior year.
