- FastForward grant support (Justin Casper): Board voted to support the application to purchase a Snap-on precision measuring trainer and training; motion carried.
- Personnel actions: The board accepted retirements from two teachers and two paraprofessionals, accepted resignations, and approved multiple contracts and hires by roll call, including Stacy Tuttle, Dylan Becker, Miranda Vincent, Nick Spencer, Patrick Holly and several high-school hires.
- Staffing addition: Board approved creation of a 1.0 FTE second Spanish teacher position to expand middle- and high-school Spanish offerings and support newcomer students through a proposed 'Spanish Buddy' program.
- Financial approvals: The board approved payment of March bills and referendum bills and accepted the February financial statements.
