Board approves updated personnel sheet; staff to reallocate leftover CSI funds for Valley summer academy

At a June 22, 2026 board meeting, members approved an updated personnel sheet and discussed reallocating leftover CSI funds to support a summer academy at Valley.

The board’s chair asked for a motion to accept the revised personnel packet; after a motion and second, the board approved the change by voice vote. The transcript records only a voice vote—"all in favor"—and does not list individual vote names or counts.

A staff member explained the funding move, saying, “So, this is the the leftover money for Valley from the CSI funds that they received. Originally, this budget was supposed to have gone to Dakota, but Dakota lost their funding and was not able to go to the Valley, so they had this money left over.” The staff member said Mrs. Smith requested using the funds to run a summer academy focused on basic skills and that the district received permission from the Department of Education around June 4; because the approval came late, the change was posted on June 11.

Board members asked logistical questions. One member asked how many children were expected; staff replied that the number was not yet known and said the academy would run three days a week—Tuesday through Thursday—with Mondays and Fridays off. Staff also said the district could accommodate three additional teachers and administrators and that positions would be re-posted if applicants apply.

The action taken at the meeting was procedural approval of the updated personnel sheet and, in discussion, the reallocation of leftover CSI funds to a Valley summer academy. The transcript does not record a separate formal vote specifically labeled for the funding reallocation; the board’s recorded action was acceptance of the personnel packet that reflected the change.

The meeting leader also reminded members there is a follow-up meeting scheduled for the next day at 6:00 p.m. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn.
