Board forms committee to revise game attendance policies, guidance counselor resigns after several closed door meetings

Date:

by Garrick Moritz, Gazette

            The Garretson School Board had a full house on Monday, Dec. 11. The school library was filled with parents and citizens concerned about the handbook policy issues that govern game attendance and child supervision.  After that big discussion, and the public had all departed the meeting, the school board had an hour and a half executive session on a personnel matter, after which the board voted to accept the resignation of school councilor Michelle Pliska. Then they further resolved to amend the facts and findings of report they’d previously passed and to update all parties on the matter.

            After calling the meeting to order, and approving the agenda, Shannon Nordstrom asked the public assemblage if there was anyone who wanted to speak during the open forum. He said that he realized most people were there about the game attendance policy issues, but he wanted to see if there was any other topics someone wanted to speak about.

            After some back and forth with those in attendance he said that he would open the floor to several speakers after the board had their initial debate on the matter in question.

            The board approved their consent agenda. An item of note was the resignation of Amber Williamson as the soccer coach, pending finding a replacement for that post.
