During its Jan. 19 meeting, the Twin Valley School District Board of School Directors approved several routine but important items, including the 2024–25 audit, treasury reports, personnel actions and policy updates.

Audit acceptance: The board moved and seconded acceptance of the 2024–25 audit prepared by Barbagall and Shortcutt company and conducted a roll call vote with members recorded as voting "Yes." The audit will be made available to the public.

Calendar and instruction items: The board forwarded the proposed 2026–27 student calendar as a first reading, noting the calendar contains eight half days and discussion about makeup days. The board also approved a homebound instruction agreement for a student as presented to the Instruction & Technology committee.

Policies and governance: Under board governance, the body approved multiple policies on second reading, including policy 7.16 (integrated pest management) and policy 8.23, which replaces the term used in policy language with "opioid antagonist." Roll call votes were recorded for these items and the motions passed.

Treasury and personnel: The board approved the treasury report for November and December following clarification about a prepay bus payment; personnel items including resignations, nominations and status changes for professional and support staff for the 2025–26 school year were approved by roll call. A tenure motion for a professional staff member (Christine) was also approved.

What’s next: Many of these votes were routine approvals that finalize accounting, personnel and policy housekeeping for the district. The administration will post the accepted audit and continue committee follow-ups; there were no contested decisions recorded in the meeting minutes.
