First school board meeting on tap

I graduated from California Baptist University in April 2021 and was ready for a change of scenery, which is what brought me to North Idaho. Currently, I’m enjoying being newly married. My husband and I spend our weekends huckleberry picking, working on home improvement projects, taking my husky Judah on walks, spoiling our kitten Opal, and making plans to travel while we earn the means to do so. I love hanging out with family, studying indigenous arts and culture, going on outdoor adventures and creating wood-burning projects. I’m also always down for a casual debate about anything from philosophy and politics to the best local coffee shops. My childhood was filled with dreams of working in almost every field — archeologist, architect, writer, historian, aviator and mathematician were just a few titles I hoped to hold one day. After my first semester in college, I found myself wondering how choosing a major was ever going to be in the cards for me. But, with a little help from friends and family, I realized that the title of “journalist” is a good title for someone who is interested in a little bit of everything. When you can’t be everything, you can always write about everything. | January 9, 2024 1:00 AM
PONDERAY — The Lake Pend Oreille School District will hold its school board’s annual meeting today.
As part of the meeting, the board will elect a chair and vice chair, as well as appoint a treasurer and clerk.
Dr. Becky Meyer, Brian Wallace, and Kelly Fisher are also expected to be appointed as authorized agents of the school district.
The board will consider authorizing a bid for an audit of financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, with the option of auditing the district’s financial statements for the four subsequent fiscal years, officials said in an agenda packet.
Trustees will also consider a first reading of revisions to a special education policy. They will also consider adding a policy concerning the use of therapy dogs across the district.
Policy items seeing their second reading include revisions to the district’s hiring process and education of homeless children policies, as well as revisions to title advancement requirements included in a middle-level credit system policy.
The meeting will take place tonight at 5 p.m. at the LPOSD district office, 901 Triangle Drive.
