January 12, 2026 at 4:00 PM - Board of Education Regular Meeting

This agenda contains a list of subjects known at the time of its distribution.  A copy of the agenda reflecting any changes will be available for public inspection during normal business hours in the District Office.  Except for items of an emergency nature, the agenda shall not be altered later than twenty-four hours before the meeting.  The Board reserves the right to alter the order of items, as it deems necessary.

Information concerning the Open Meeting Law, Chapter 84, Article 14 of Nebraska State Statutes, is posted on the bulletin board in the back of the meeting room.

Current Officers:
Dave Welsch - President
Tony Roth - Vice President
Sydnie - Secretary
Jessica Dunlap - Treasurer


Option #1

1. Retain the Same Officers
   1. A board member has the option of making a motion to suspend the rules and retain current officers.  (The motion can retain current officers and recommend a change.)
   2. Once this motion is made, a second would be needed and then discussion and then voting could take place.  
2. If a second is not received, the motion would die for lack of a second or supporting motion.

Option #2

1. The vote to elect board officers may be taken by secret ballot, but the total number of votes for each candidate shall be recorded in the minutes.

2. In the event any officer cannot be elected by a majority after 10 votes; no votes occur after ten motions fail for lack of a "second,"; or no member volunteers to serve as an officer for a particular position, the tie will be broken by the applicable method:

   1. If the board is split between two members, the officer will be determined by coin flip.  The winning member will be the officer for the upcoming year unless the position changes by action of the board.

   2. If the board is split between more than two members who wish to serve as the officer, any member wanting to serve as the officer will put his or her name into a drawing.  The name drawn out will be the officer for the upcoming year unless the position changes by action of the board.

   3. If no member is willing to serve as an officer for a position which is required to be a member of the board, all non-officers’ names will be put into a drawing.  The name drawn out will be the officer for the upcoming year unless the position changes by action of the board.

This is the public’s opportunity to speak to items on the agenda. This is also the public’s opportunity to speak to other non-agenda topics concerning the school district - since it is not an agenda item the board cannot discuss or take action on the matter at this time. To be recognized, all participants must complete the Request to Address the Milford Board of Education Form.  The District has established separate complaint procedures for any complaints, including complaints and concerns against individual employees.  As such, the Board requests that this complaint process be followed before discussion with the Board takes place.  Thank you for your participation.
