The Fraser Board of Education, meeting Oct. 20, 2025 at Richards Middle School, approved a slate of routine personnel actions, accepted the district financial report and awarded multiple construction contracts tied to Fraser High School renovations.
Board President Scott Wallace called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m., administered the oath of office to newly seated trustee Jamie Pietron and led the pledge of allegiance.
Why it matters: The meeting combined routine governance matters with a large construction contract award that advances work at Fraser High School and raised labor concerns from district paraprofessionals. Several motions were recorded in the minutes as unanimous votes ("Ayes: All; Nays: None"). The minutes do not provide individual roll-call tallies.
