Election of Board President
Rationale:
President Pro-tempore will conduct the election for board president. The newly elected president will conduct the remainder of the elections and chair the remainder of the meeting.
The chair will call for nominations for the office. Nominations are to be made by any member and seconded by another member. If more than one name is placed in nomination, the chair will call for a written ballot to be cast. The recording secretary will count the votes. If only one name is placed in nomination, the chair may entertain a motion to close nominations and cast a unanimous ballot. The motion requires a second, followed by a recall vote. This process will be followed to elect the board President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer for 2021. |

*We have a conflict in the district office where staff need to be absent prior to the 2nd Monday of February. I would recommend moving the February regular meeting to Wednesday or Thursday (Feb 10 or 11) at Noon or 7:00 pm. This will allow us the time needed to process the monthly bills and business prior to the meeting. I do not anticipate a lengthy agenda for February making a Noon or lunchtime meeting a viable option.
Set the next regular meeting for February 10 or 11, 2021, at Noon or 7:00 p.m. in the District Office, Cafeteria, or HS Library depending on current health measures. The current agendas will be available for public inspection in the office of the superintendent. |

Principal Contracts for 2021-22 - Closed Session

Now that the AEA has settled with the Board, it would be Mr. Hafer's preference to take care of the Principal's contracts. It is recommended to enter into closed session to protect the public interest and protect the needless injury to an individual's reputation.
