Todd County board adopts agenda, approves consent items and calendar update; executive session on safety noted

The Todd County School District 66-1 board adopted its Nov. 24 meeting agenda at the start of the session, approved the consent agenda and moved forward with a policy update to the school-year calendar during the meeting. The board also noted plans for an executive session to discuss safety matters under SDCL 12524 and SDCL 12526.

Unidentified Speaker 2 asked for additions to the agenda and called for a motion; "Is there a motion to adopt the agenda for 11-24-2025" was followed by a motion "moved by Chris" and a second by Amanda. When the chair asked "All in favor?" members responded affirmatively by voice; the transcript records verbal "Yes" responses but does not provide a roll-call tally.

Later, the board discussed publication of the district's salary list. In response to a question about "Section 12, that salary bill," an unidentified speaker clarified: "It's actually a state requirement to go ahead and publish... we do it as an addendum to the minutes and it ends up going into the newspaper," and said the practice is annual and administrative, not part of negotiations.

During consideration of the consent agenda, the chair noted an executive session under SDCL 12524 and SDCL 12526 for safety matters; after asking whether any items should be pulled, the chair sought a motion to approve the consent agenda, which was seconded by Marcus and approved by voice vote.

On a separate motion, the board moved to approve a policy update regarding the school year calendar; Amanda moved, Mark Paul seconded and the board voted in the affirmative (individual tallies not specified). The meeting then continued to brief notes on timing and adjournment.

All motions and approvals in the transcript were recorded as voice votes or affirmative responses; the transcript does not include member-by-member vote records or numeric tallies.
