ISD 317 board appoints LuAnn Robinson, elects officers at Jan. 6 organizational meeting
Summary
At its Jan. 6 organizational meeting the ISD 317 (Deer River Public Schools) board appointed LuAnn Robinson to a vacant seat and elected Lloyd Kongsjord chair, Jon White vice-chair, Pam Thompson clerk and George Goggleye treasurer; each motion carried with members present.
The Independent School District No. 317 board convened its Jan. 6, 2025 organizational meeting at Deer River High School and moved to fill a board vacancy and elect officers for 2025.
The board adopted a resolution appointing LuAnn Robinson to the vacant seat on the board. The packet contains the resolution language: "LuAnn Robinson is hereby appointed to fill the vacant position on the Board of Education." The appointment motion was recorded as carried; the minutes note four members voting yea and two absences. Board members then completed officer elections: George Goggleye nominated Lloyd Kongsjord for chair (carried); Jon White was elected vice-chair, Pam Thompson was elected clerk and George Goggleye was elected treasurer. The minutes record each nomination and the carried motions with the same roll-call pattern (Yea: Goggleye, Kongsjord, Thompson, White; Absent: Fairbanks, Robinson at the time of some votes).
Board actions were procedural and unanimous among members present. The meeting packet lists the effective term for the appointment as Jan. 6, 2024 through Nov. 6, 2025 in the adopted resolution text. The board also recorded that Kyle Fairbanks arrived later in the meeting; attendance lines in the minutes reflect the change.
The board did not debate the appointment at length in the minutes; the resolution and roll-call votes are recorded in the meeting packet as the formal action.
