The annual Impact Aid Hearing was held. Impact Aid is money the district receives due to federal land not being on the tax role.
Aid to districts who qualify is calculated using the number of students who live on federal land, such as Santee Sioux Tribal land or on the Flandreau Indian School campus, and also if one parent of any Flandreau student works on tribal lands such as any of the tribal entities, Royal River Casino or federal land (FIS).
School districts who receive Impact Aid use this money to educate all students. Additional payments for Impact Aid students with disabilities must be used for that program only.
The board approved the application.
Nicole Heier, Pleasant Valley Colony instructor and Laura Drietz, Junior Class advisor, submitted their resignations from these positions effective the end of the school year
Newly hired was Allyson McMacken as the additional fourth grade instructor for the 25-26 year. She will also coach junior high girls basketball.
After executive session, the board approved the negotiated agreement.
This agreement is between the board and the districts staff and negotiates the base salary pay, insurance and sick leave.
Base salary for the Flandreau School District next year will be $46,000.
