The Fremont Public School District Board of Education met in special session March 23 for a strategic planning retreat and unanimously approved the day’s agenda.
President Jennifer Scott called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. and confirmed that all seven board members—Jennifer Scott, Jared Hanna, Kim Rasch, Steve Paulsen, Justin Visser, Carrie Crosley and Pete Slovinski—were present. Pete Slovinski moved to approve the agenda; Jared Hanna seconded and the motion passed on a 7–0 vote.
During the public comment period, community member Heidi Vissia complimented the board on how well members “came together to work on the plan and for the betterment of FPS.”
Under board communications the board scheduled a closed session for a personnel matter. Later in the meeting, a motion by Steve Paulsen, seconded by Pete Slovinski, moved the board into closed session at 3:17 p.m. for the purpose of discussing the superintendent’s evaluation and contract negotiations; that motion passed 7–0. The board voted again—by motion of Justin Visser, seconded by Steve Paulsen—to exit the closed session at 3:48 p.m., also by a 7–0 vote.
The meeting was adjourned by motion from Jared Hanna, seconded by Justin Visser, at 3:48 p.m.; the motion passed unanimously. The minutes were signed by Secretary Kim Rasch.
No formal decisions about the superintendent’s contract were recorded in the minutes beyond the board’s entry to and exit from the closed session. The meeting’s stated purpose was to work toward a strategic plan for the district; additional substance of that planning discussion is not recorded in the minutes.
