Fall coaching positions up for non-renewal
The board is asked to approve the non-renewal of 18 fall 2026 coaching positions. The list covers boys’ head and assistant soccer coaches, girls’ head and assistant soccer coaches, a defensive coordinator, a special teams coordinator, a high school assistant football coach, junior high football coaches for 7th and 8th grade, a junior high assistant football coach, a junior high football cheer coach, an assistant varsity football cheer coach, girls’ tennis, junior varsity girls’ tennis, a junior high 8th grade volleyball coach and a cross country coach.
Why it matters: If approved, 18 fall coaching positions would be non-renewed, and the district would create a new elementary music concert director job on pay scale 5.
The agenda does not give a reason for the non-renewals or say whether the positions will be filled again. Non-renewal means the positions are not continued for the next term under the current appointments.
New elementary music concert director job
The board will vote on creating an ‘Elementary Music Concert Director’ position on pay scale 5. It is also asked to approve Kayla Hughes as Elementary Concert Music Director, a supplemental job, pending the required certification and background check. The agenda lists no dollar amounts for the position.
School policy updates
The board is asked to approve the second reading of the Neola Fall 2026 policy updates (package 45.1). Neola is a company that supplies model school board policies. The update covers policies 0145, 0146, 1231, 2265, 2431, 2431.07, 2461 (with a rescinding of 2461), 3231, 4231, 5111.01, 5224, 5330, 5463, 5514, 6100, 6423, 7540.10, 8210, 8310, 8330, 8470 and 9700. The agenda does not describe what each policy covers; the text is in Attachment C.
The board also takes up the first reading of a new update, PO 2675 Advance Math (Attachment D).
Routine business
The board will hear a non-action update on the fiscal year 2026 financial audit. It will vote on the Oct. 26, 2026, meeting minutes and the financial report, including advances. Advances are temporary transfers of money between district funds. The board will also vote on the resignation of Staci Laughlin as an Educational Classroom Aide, effective Nov. 9, 2026.
Other supplemental employment approvals, pending the required certification and background check, are Matt Seljan as monitor for student study tables and Bryant Steele as a volunteer junior high assistant boys basketball coach for the 2026-2027 season. The meeting opens with recognition of fall SWBL athletes and coaches, and includes written reports from principals and directors, a superintendent’s district update and a maintenance and custodial director report from Jim Branson. No dollar totals are listed.
