The Devils Lake Public School Board meeting was held at 5 p.m. on August 28 in the Sports Center. Following the call to order, Pledge of Allegiance, preview and approval of the agenda 12 pages of bills were approved.
Superintendent Ned Clooten informed the board that this meeting was being taped and would be made available posted on the district’s website because of a request by a constituent. He asked the board members what they wanted to do, would they want to continue recording meetings and posting them or not, asking what were their wishes. Following a brief discussion it was decided to continue recording and posting the audio recordings. Business Manager Melissa Haahr explained that the posts would stay on the website for three months. Everyone was in approval of the plan.
