The board’s primary focus was on the potential need for election recounts. It was clarified that if a recount is requested, the school district would be responsible for all associated costs if the margin between candidates is within 0.5%. If the margin is larger, a candidate requesting a recount would need to fund it themselves. The board also discussed the selection process for election judges and emphasized the importance of maintaining impartiality, recommending that board members should not serve as judges to ensure third-party separation. It was noted that while the county has completed its recounts for its own purposes, any request for a separate recount by the district would require it to arrange for the necessary facilities, although the county might assist in providing space.

Additionally, the board provided updates on various district facility projects. Notably, the Hankey project was deemed a success, and improvements at several schools, including Rogers High School and Zimmerman campus, were progressing well despite some delays due to weather and unexpected findings. The board highlighted the decision to fund playground replacements with district funds.
