February 4, 2025 at 4:00 PM - Special Board Meeting

Rationale: 

As required by Nebraska law, the public is advised that the Open Meetings Act is posted and copies of the Open Meetings Act are available for the public.

Rationale:  Interview Mr. Joél Ruybalid, Blue Hill Public Schools Superintendent, at 4:00 p.m.

Interview Dr. Chris Prososki, Southern Public Schools Superintendent, at 5:30 p.m.

Rationale: 

Any resident or employee of Hastings Public Schools District #18 is welcome to address the Board of Education at this time on items pertaining to education and/or the operation of the District.  Any person wishing to address the Board is requested to come to the podium and, on being recognized, give his/her name and address. Questions relating to employees of the District will not be permitted; such questions should be referred to the Superintendent at another time.  It is requested that comments be limited to five (5) minutes.  Citizens who wish to present petitions to the Board may do so at this time; however, the Board will only receive the petitions and will not act upon them or their contents.  

Rationale: 

The Board will go into Closed Session for board deliberation regarding personnel.  Discussion shall be confined to this issue.  The action is consistent with applicable state law; i.e., Nebraska Revised Statute 84-1410, Reissue 1981, and with Board Policy 204.06 and is clearly necessary for the protection of the public interest and for the prevention of needless injury to the reputation of an individual and such individual has not requested a public meeting.

 

Rationale: 

The Board President verifies that discussion was confined to personnel issues.
