Aberdeen School Board - 4/13/2026

The Aberdeen Public School District held a school board meeting on April 13, 2026, where several personnel recognitions were announced, including awards for educational leadership. The meeting included updates on student academic progress and community engagement initiatives at Mike Miller Elementary. Key procurement-related actions involved approval of the annual workers' compensation agreement, which reflected a 10% decrease in premiums due to lower payroll costs and fewer claims. The board also approved negotiated agreements for hourly staff and the Aberdeen Education Association with a 1% wage increase, despite budget constraints. Additionally, the board renewed its membership with the South Dakota High School Activity Association and approved a minor policy revision related to evaluations. Motions for all these items were passed unanimously, reflecting ongoing operational and contractual decisions impacting district staffing and insurance costs.
