Separately, the board approved Motion 07-8-26-12 (moved by Cornell Conroy, seconded by Sue Yellow Elk) to authorize contract extensions for pool staff and allow the superintendent to determine operating periods for the school pool and approve pool staffing contracts for 2026–27, subject to available funding.

All personnel and advertising motions carried unanimously (5–0). Board members did not provide additional detail in the meeting about applicant qualifications, target start dates, or the identity of the terminated employee; minutes note the employee’s name as "name on file." Human-resources follow-up tasks were not detailed beyond the advertising and contract authorization recorded in the motions.
