The September 1, 2026 meeting of the De Mo Public Schools (DMPS) Board primarily focused on community and staff concerns regarding recent staff reassignments that occurred just days before the school year began. Multiple educators and community members addressed the board, expressing frustration over the timing, communication, and impact of these reassignments on staff morale, student programs, and school culture. There was a strong call for improved transparency, earlier enrollment data collection, and more collaborative staffing decisions to avoid last-minute disruptions.
