Board of Education Regular Meeting
Scheduled: August 10, 2026 at 5:30 p.m.
The Durant Comm School District Board of Education is scheduled to consider personnel, policy, student handbook, technology, financial transfer, and facilities-related items at its regular meeting. The agenda also provides for a public forum, administrative reports, and several information and discussion topics.
Key Items on the Agenda
Three Consent Agendas
The board is scheduled to consider three separate consent agendas covering personnel, policy review, substitute teacher pay, student handbooks, and technology policy.
Consent Agenda #1 includes:
- A personnel resignation for paraeducator Courtney Paustian.
- Categories for job descriptions and terminations/reductions are listed, but the packet does not identify specific items under those categories.
Consent Agenda #2 includes review of four policies:
- Policy 504.8 — Student Activity Program.
- Policy 503.11 — Disruptive Behavior.
- Policy 503.11-R(1) — Disruptive Behavior – Removal Procedures.

Consent Agenda #3 includes:
- 2026–2027 substitute teacher pay.
- FY27 Jr/Sr High Handbook.
- FY27 Elementary Handbook.
- K-5 Student Technology Usage Policy.
- A second-reading category for policies, which is marked “N/A” in the packet.
The packet identifies these matters by title but does not provide the underlying policy language, handbook changes, substitute-pay amount, or technology-policy provisions.
Major Financial Item
$17,329.96 Nutrition Fund Transfer
The board is scheduled to consider approval of a transfer from the Nutrition Fund to the General Fund for FY26 indirect costs.
- Proposed transfer: $17,329.96.
- From: Nutrition Fund.
- To: General Fund.
- Purpose identified in the agenda: FY26 indirect costs.
Facilities and Maintenance
Maintenance Update
The public forum includes a maintenance update from Greg Storjohann. The packet does not provide additional details about the projects or issues expected to be addressed in that update.
Maintenance is also separately listed among the meeting's information and discussion items.
Peak Pay App & Change Orders
The agenda includes an item titled “Peak Pay App & Change Orders.” Its status is listed as “TBD.”
The packet does not identify an amount, project, contractor, or proposed change order, so no further details about potential financial or project impacts are available from the supplied materials.
Personnel Items
In addition to the paraeducator resignation included in Consent Agenda #1, the information and discussion portion of the agenda lists three hires:
- Vickie Holladay — custodian.
- Brenda Meier — custodian.
- Kenneth Ordway — custodian.
The agenda also lists “Transfers” as an information/discussion topic but provides no specific transfer details.
The board's agenda includes several additional topics for information or discussion:
- Hiring.
- Transfers.
- Goodwill.
- Maintenance.
- Policy.
- Legislative matters.
- Miscellaneous items.
The packet provides no further substantive detail for most of these topics, so their specific scope cannot be determined from the supplied meeting materials.
Other Scheduled Business
The meeting agenda also includes:
- Call to order and roll call.
- Agenda approval.
- Approval of the July 13, 2026 regular meeting minutes.
- Public forum.
- Business/financial functions.
- Administrative reports.
- Adjournment.
The packet identifies the next regular meeting as September 14, 2026 at 5:30 p.m.
What to Watch at the Meeting
Among the more concrete items scheduled for consideration are the $17,329.96 Nutrition Fund transfer, policy reviews involving student activities and disruptive behavior, 2026–2027 substitute teacher pay, the two FY27 student handbooks, and the K-5 Student Technology Usage Policy.
The Peak Pay App & Change Orders item is less defined in the packet because it remains listed as “TBD.” The maintenance update and broader information/discussion topics may also provide additional context that is not contained in the packet itself.
The official public-body source used for this packet is the Durant Comm School District meeting document provided through Google Drive.
