Summary

The board approved appointment of Dr. Darryl Gysaway as school physician for 2026–27, including a $1,000 stipend and a per-student exam rate listed as $15.10 for referred examinations; trustees discussed scope, frequency and how sports certifications are handled separately.

The administration recommended and the board approved appointment of Dr. Darryl Gysaway as the district school physician for the 2026–27 year. The motion on the record stated a per-exam rate of $15.10 and an annual stipend of $1,000. The chair clarified that the physician's services are used when the district needs an exam or intervention—not for every student—and that sports certification is handled separately under sports doctor arrangements.

Trustees asked how long the doctor has served the district; responses on the record gave differing recollections (estimates ranged from one to 'about 20 years') and the administration said it would confirm the exact tenure for the board. Trustees also discussed whether the physician had ever received additional compensation beyond the stipend; administration said it was not aware of additional payments and would inquire. The board voted to approve the appointment and the associated standing orders as amended by the earlier Narcan amendment.
