KEY ACTION Voted unanimously to hire
Ira Hamman as the district s new treasurer. Hamman s first day will be May 17.
DISCUSSION Hamman most recently worked as treasurer at Fremont City Schools. He replaces Molly Koch, who left in February.
Hamman did not appear at the meeting, though he is expected to be at the next one, along with interim Treasurer Christine Angerer.
Hamman s contract runs through July 31, 2024, board President Linda Fenn said.
Board member Bernadette Rohr thanked Fenn and Superintendent Todd Osborn for their work on the search. It was intense, Fenn acknowledged.
The board hired the Summit Educational Service Center to conduct the treasurer search. Ten people had applied for the position, which the ESC narrowed to seven, then down to three for board members to interview. Interviews took place April 1.

The project has two main components, which are explained in a video posted on the district s website: a pre-K through sixth-grade building at the existing Chippewa Intermediate School and an auxiliary gymnasium at Chippewa JR/SR High School.
Fenn briefly walked through a timeline of the district s history, highlighting recommendations from the state for renovations, levies that passed and failed and proposed projects through the years. This is not an overnight decision, she said. We ve been talking about getting down to two campuses. The state has been telling us for 20 years we need to address this issue.
The board president reminded those tuning in that the online presentation is a rendering of a proposed presentation, not set in stone. Members are collecting more on the district s history and will present that in a few weeks, she added.
