Clarksville board receives sealed recommendation to terminate a teacher contract; hearing requested

The Clarksville Community School Board received and filed an administrative recommendation to terminate a teacher’s contract during a special meeting on Aug. 31, 2026. Superintendent Bryan Boysen presented an envelope containing the recommendation to Board President Justin Clark, who directed Board Secretary Shellee Bartlett to file it with the meeting records. The minutes state the envelope “will remain sealed at this time” because the teacher requested a hearing before the board.

Board members moved and carried the procedural action to receive and file the recommendation. The board took no public action beyond filing the document and stated that a hearing date will be set with the teacher for a subsequent meeting; no additional hearing date was provided at the Aug. 31 meeting. The motion to receive and file was moved by Brandon Kampman and seconded by Phil Barnett and was recorded as carried unanimously.
