Mineral Point school board elects officers; approves $2,000 annual stipend in 4-3 vote
Summary
At its May 12 meeting the Mineral Point Unified School District Board of Trustees elected officers for the coming year and voted 4-3 to raise the annual board stipend from $600 to $2,000, with members citing long-standing practice and differing views on compensation.
The Mineral Point Unified School District Board of Trustees held its regular meeting May 12 and completed annual organizational business, including elections for president, vice president, clerk and treasurer.
Member Heisner nominated Member Aaron Dunn for president; the motion to close nominations passed and the board elected officers by roll call. Subsequent officer elections named Member Bergstrom as vice president, Member Harris as clerk and Member Skelding as treasurer, each confirmed by unanimous roll calls noted in the minutes.
The meeting included a contested change to board member pay. Member Harris moved to raise the annual stipend from $600—an amount set for the prior decade—to $2,000 per board member. The motion passed 4-3. The minutes record the Yes votes as Member Harris, Member Johnston, Member Skelding and Member Busch and the No votes as Member Heisner, Member Bergstrom and Member Dunn.
The board also appointed Angela Schubert as the district secretary; the minutes state the secretary is an employee of the district and not a board member. The calendar of regular meetings for 2025–26 was adopted as presented.
