The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

DAYTON – The Dayton School Board held two special board meetings, the first at 5 p.m., May 26, 2022, and the second at 3 p.m., May 27, 2022. All were present at the first of two meetings, Zac Fabian, Grant Griffen, Chair Jeffrey McCowen, Korinda Wallace, and Superintendent Guy Strot. Aneesha Dieu joined the meeting on Zoom sometime during the executive session.

For the second meeting, Strot attended by Zoom, Zac Fabian, Grant Griffen, Chair Jeffrey McCowen, and Dieu were present in person; Wallace did not appear to be present for the public or executive meetings.

The agenda for both meetings were virtually identical; They were to discuss the Qualifications of an Individual for Public Employment and act on the recommendation to adopt resolution 2021-03 Administrative Structure.

Resolution 2021-03 would allow the board to hire a part-time secondary principal and a second part-time superintendent instead of replacing the combined full-time position to fulfill both roles. After the executive session, the board had the option to approve the resolution and to fill one or both of the newly created positions.

Both meetings retired to executive session immediately after the pledge of allegiance. The first of the meeting adjourned at 6:37 p.m. after tabling action on Resolution 2021-03.

The second special meeting adjourned at 5:27 p.m. without taking any action. There was no discussion of Resolution 2021-03 in either public session.
