School Board Meeting 9-28-26

Ojrsd Technology school board meeting held September 28, 2026. The board accepted President Rita Peterson’s resignation, elected Dr. John Melichek as president and Dr. Nick Routolli as vice president, and discussed filling the resulting board vacancy. Applications are expected to close October 6; if more than 10 are received, board members will rank candidates, with interviews and a selection vote planned for October 12. No procurement, contract award, or spending decision was identified.

The board approved other extracurricular and supplemental appointments but separately voted against approving the girls’ lacrosse head coach appointment. The position will be posted, and the district said it would move promptly to work with the athletic department; approved assistant coaches may help keep activities moving. The board also discussed clarifying future processes and said it would consider returning new business items to individual votes rather than approving them as a single consent block. Public comment largely concerned the coaching decision, team activities, and the girls’ lacrosse booster club; the solicitor stated that personnel matters could not be discussed publicly.
