President Sonny Harrowa led the pledge of allegiance.
Miller moved, seconded by Norman, to adopt the agenda as
published. All voted aye.
Superintendent Brad Caldwell reported the SCH Consolidated
School District Plan was submitted to the State of South Dakota
for approval. The plan was rejected and would require a change
to section number nine which details the size of the board and
the stipulation of two members being from the Harrold School
District. The proposed change would reduce the size of the
consolidated board to five members and any registered voter
running for the Board of the new consolidated district would be
elected at large. The Board discussed setting a date for another
public hearing on the consolidation before the election in
December.
Miller moved, seconded by Norman, to approve the proposed change
in the consolidation plan to require a five-member board and to
elect members of that board on an at large basis from the new
consolidated school district. Miller, Norman, Nutter and Harrowa
voted aye. Duffy voted no.
Superintendent Brad Caldwell presented a copy of a letter from
Mayor Sam Tidball of the City of Fort Pierre to the South Dakota
Department of Game, Fish and Parks for the improvement of the
land adjacent to the Parkview Building.
Miller moved, seconded by Norman, to adjourn at 5:50 P.M. All
voted aye. |
