4.1. Minutes of September 8, 2025 Budget Hearing, Tax Hearing, and Regular Board of Education Meeting
Agenda Item Type:
Consent Item
Rationale:
Section 79-805 of Nebraska Statutes calls for the District to publish in a legal newspaper a "concise summary" of the proceedings of the Board of Education. Section 84-1413 of Nebraska Revised Statutes calls for the District to maintain official minutes that contain "the substance of all matters discussed." Therefore, for each board meeting a concise summary of the minutes is published in the Auburn Newspapers and a detailed set of minutes is maintained in the superintendent’s office. A copy of the official minutes is attached to the board agenda for each regular meeting and special meeting.
The official minutes may make references to attachments. These attachments are reproduced with the minutes attached to the board agenda only if such attachments are different from those presented at the meeting. The attachments, however, are in the record of official minutes maintained at the superintendent’s office.

The Board President may limit the time allotted to each individual or topic. A five-minute limit will apply for each speaker, unless otherwise specified, and no speaker may transfer their remaining time to any other speaker. According to Nebraska State Statute 84-1412, all speakers must identify himself or herself, including an address and the name of any organization represented by such person, unless the address requirement is waived to protect the security of the individual. Speakers are expected to address the Board when making presentations. If a group of patrons is presenting a single issue, the board requests that a spokesperson be appointed to address the Board, however, anyone may talk within the stated time limit. Speakers who feel a need to give more information than can be presented in that time frame may submit written materials for distribution to the Superintendent; such materials should be provided at least 24 hours before the meeting is to begin.
The Board of Education may make and enforce reasonable rules and regulations regarding the conduct of persons attending its meetings and regarding their privilege to speak. |

October 13, 2025, Board Notes:
*We have received our official letter from NDE that we have passed all of Rule 10. *This year will be the first year the National and State ACT testing will look different. If students choose to take the national ACT test, they will not have to take the science and writing section of the test. However, the state testing will remain the same with science and writing. When they score the state test, they will take the science and writing scores out. Therefore, this will leave the overall ACT scores down compared to years past. *I am getting ready to submit the year 2 plan for the CLSD grant and complete the preschool report. *We have a busy in-service day for most teachers on Friday |
