The election of new board leadership was a central topic, with Jean Donaldson securing the position of president and Kelly Pella taking on the role of vice president after a nomination and voting process. Members cast their votes and expressed congratulations to the newly appointed leaders. The president announced upcoming plans to finalize committee assignments.

Another agenda item was the approval of a field trip for the district’s mock trial students. The board members discussed and subsequently approved the outing, underlining the importance of extracurricular activities in providing students with practical learning experiences beyond the classroom.

Routine matters such as reappointments and reapprovals were addressed, including the confirmation of Caitlyn Lawler as the board secretary and the adoption of previously established policies and contracts. These actions are part of the board’s standard organizational procedures at the start of the new year.
