# BSD Regular Board Meeting@ Noon 10-19-26

The Belcourt School Board’s regular meeting on October 19, 2026, included several personnel actions and purchasing-policy approvals. The board approved the resignation of special education teacher Tori Dakota and hiring recommendations for an eighth-grade ELA teacher and a sixth-grade math teacher. It also approved an amendment to policy HCAA, setting a $50,000 threshold for required board approval in alignment with North Dakota Century Code, and approved an accompanying administrative regulation describing informal bids and proposals. The transcript indicates motions were made and votes opened for these items, but does not clearly preserve every vote result. The board also approved accounts payable; no amount or vendor details are audible in the transcript.

The board discussed surveying the public about live-streaming meetings, with a survey to be created and the matter brought back at a future meeting. Student representatives are also surveying classmates about a possible graduation-date change; no decision was made. No specific contract awards, vendors, or capital projects were identified.
