Summary
The board hired Peter Thein as a .80 FTE social studies teacher (BA +24, Step 9) for 2026–2027 and conducted first readings of five revised MSBA policies on employment, personnel data, chemical use, drug-free workplace and bullying prohibition. The personnel hire passed 6-0.
The Ely Public School Board on July 13 approved the hiring of Peter Thein for a .80 full-time-equivalent social studies teacher position for the 2026–2027 school year under the current master agreement (BA +24, Step 9).
Minutes show: “7.b.1. Hired Peter Thein for the .80 FTE Social Studies Teacher position (BA +24, Step 9) effective the 2026-2027 school year, per the current master agreement between ISD No. 696 and the Ely Education Association and school board policy. Motion carried. (Vote: 6,0).” The board also listed first readings of revised MSBA policies 401 (Equal Employment Opportunity), 406 (Public and Private Personnel Data), 417 (Chemical Use and Abuse), 418 (Drug Free Workplace/Drug-Free School) and 514 (Bullying Prohibition); no final action on those policies was recorded at this meeting.
The minutes do not include candidate background beyond the placement on the salary schedule, nor do they show subsequent board discussion about the policy revisions; final action on the policies would occur at a later meeting if adopted following the required readings.
