The Devils Lake Public School Board met Monday, May 18 at 5 p.m. in regular session. All members of the board were present and following the Call to Order, Pledge of Allegiance and Agenda Approval the discussion began with Continuous Improvement – Student Outcome Goals. First goal progress monitored was 2.3, Post-Secondary Ready. Mr. Kaffer from Central Middle School reported on the Native American Education Advisory Committee, then Mr. Ryan Hanson gave his input from the Devils Lake High School.

Employees recognized for this quarter were both from Minnie H Kindergarden Center, so Mrs. Krogfoss introduced them both; Teacher of the Quarter Katie Ness, who is Instructional Coach at Minnie H and Karen Pallansch, who is Head Cook at Minnie H. Both took a moment to thank everyone who nominated them and the school board members one by one congratulated them with handshakes or a hug.

There were no community members signed up to speak at the board meeting, but Chairman Cory Meyer read the board’s policy regarding signing up for speaking.

A consent Agenda of 11 items was approved.
