JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Jamestown Public School Board voted Thursday to fill an unexpired city seat term on the school board through the 2022 school year.

After two-tie votes and discussions, the board voted and approved Dan Tweten to fill the unexpired term on a 5 to 3 vote. The other candidate was Mindi Schmitz.

Following the vote, Board member Jason Rohr stated he would like to hear from future potential candidates if the board were to be faced with the challenge of filling an unexpired term again.

Four school board seats will be up for election next summer.

In other school board business, the board moved to approve the Teacher’s Master Agreement for 2021-2023, the Non-teaching professionals contract, Support Wage Schedule, and the teachers, support staff, and Jamestown Hub Handbook.

When it came to the Athletic Handbook for Director and Coaches, Board Member Aaron Roberts mentioned the lack of mention for eSports, which the school looks to participate in the future.

Superintendent Dr. Rob Lech said he would like to see the board move forward with the 2021-2022 Athletic Handbook for now, but add in eSports at a later date.

The board unanimously approved.
