Rationale:  Members of the public will be permitted to speak at Board meetings. Members of the public may also speak when invited to make a presentation or when recognized by the President.

For all meetings of the Board, individual speakers shall have up to 5 minutes to address the Board, and the Board shall hear up to 30 cumulative minutes of public comment. The Board may vote to modify these time limits when the Board deems appropriate. The President may implement other reasonable requirements for public comment, consistent with the Open Meetings Act.

Members of the public will not be required to have their name placed on the agenda prior to the meeting in order to speak about items on the agenda.

Any member of the public desiring to address the Board shall be required to identify himself or herself, including an address and the name of any organization represented by such person, unless the address requirement is waived to protect the security of the individual.

Speakers will be permitted to address the Board consistent with free speech rights. However, offensive language, defamatory remarks, and hostile conduct will not be tolerated. Further, charges or complaints against employees shall not be made for the first time at a public Board meeting without having followed the school’s complaint procedure.

We are at our 4-year renewal for our staff computers.  This is the first batch of computers to be purchased.  These computers are desktop PC computers for our Business Office & Support Staff.  Several of their computers were starting to have memory issues and needed to be replaced, so we decided to start with that group.
 

Rationale:  Rachel Jackson, who started as an SLP with us in January, has received her DHHS license for Speech-Language Pathology and is now eligible for our License Speech Stipend. 

Rationale:  This is a list of the employment contracts up for renewal.  Those in green have been issued.  The yellow contracts are for contracts that are being held as we wait for school contracts to be returned or are new hires for whom we have signed offers, but contracts have not been issued yet.

Rationale:  Last month, the Board approved the 2026-2027 salary & benefits increases.  As an administrator, we have to follow the Transparency Act, which means we have to post the salary on our website, then the board needs to act to make it official.  We need a motion to consider the 2026-2027 Administrator contract for Corey Dahl.  A copy of the contract is included with this agenda along with the ESU 8 Administrator Pay Transparency Notice.
