Discussion:  This action is to establish a special school board meeting on December 19 at 7:00pm for the purpose of reviewing the FY22 audit and reviewing long-term facility solutions.

Discussion:  This is an annual item. Prior to establishing a budget and potentially making staffing changes, it is essential that the administration review programs and positions and give consideration to program changes for the coming fiscal year. 

This action does not indicate that the district will be making a budget reduction, rather it is a formal directive to the Superintendent to review and present to the school board appropriate information to ensure staffing, programming, and budgets align prior to budge approal.

Discussion:  The attached resolution appoints Dustin Shourds to fill the school board vacancy created by the declination to serve by Kelly Snell. This appointment is to begin January, 2023 and run  through the next special election opportunity, which, at the latest, is November 2023.
