    4. MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE WHO MAY WISH TO ADDRESS THE BOARD:

    Mr. Pauley state that if a member of the audience wishes to speak they will be limited to about a minute due to the number of people in the room.

     

    Guy Dahlstrom stated that he has heard that there was a problem with Mr. Tyndell and he is here to find out what it is. Mr. Pauley stated that it is a personnel issue and cannot be discussed in an open meeting. Gale Anderson asked if during Joel’s absence last week if there was an administrator in the building at all times. Mr. Yoder responded that he and Kirsten Daniels were working everyday last week. There were additional questions by the audience, and Mr. Pauley responded that it was a personnel issue and by board policy and state law personnel issues cannot be discussed in open forum.

     

    Robbin Zembal stated that she heard a rumor that Junior High sports were going to be cut next year. Mr. Pauley stated that cuts have not been discussed yet but that there are many items on the list to be discussed. Right now the district is using the governor’s budget, but nothing is for sure until the legislature is out of session.

    M’Liss Hansen asked if the board had received the results of the staff survey regarding the budget. Mr. Pauley stated that they had but they have not had a chance to go through them yet. Mr. Yoder stated that there is a copy for the staff to look at as well. Also a survey will be sent out to the community for input.

     

    There was a question asked about the upcoming state tournament. Mr. Pauley stated that Mr. Tyndell would be discussing that during his report. Mr. Pauley asked Mr. Tyndell if he wanted to discuss it now or wait until his report. Mr. Tyndell stated that it could be discussed right now.

    Mr. Tyndell stated that he talked to Canfield the district insurance company and the school can rent a 12 passenger van from Whitney’s for the trip to state. A bus driver will drive the van. The team will be staying at the Red Lion in Yakima. The question was asked if food could be donated for the team while they were at state. Mr. Tyndell stated that the team will have a sponsor and they will provide a least one meal, but that he has no problem with donations. Cherie’ Marbut asked if the booster club could help with the costs. Mr. Tyndell stated that they usually give the school about $10.00 per student, and usually that covers about 1 meal.

     

    Shelia Richardson asked what you mean when you state that you cannot discuss personnel in a public forum. Mr. Pauley stated that we cannot discuss any personnel information in public forum by law. If she would like to discuss an issue you have to make an appointment with either Mr. Tyndell or Mr. Yoder, and you have to start with the person you have the conflict with according to our policy. The next step is the supervisor of the employee, and after that you speak with Mr. Yoder to arrange a meeting with the board.
