Financial Report: None.
Northome Principal’s Report: The Mindset of the Month is Joy. Having a mindset of joy means choosing to focus on the
positive, even when challenges arise. For students, this mindset can make a big difference in how you approach school each
day. It’s about finding happiness in learning, making new friends, and growing through every experience—big or small. When
you bring joy into your school life, it not only helps you feel better but can also inspire those around you. Remember, joy isn’t
about being perfect, it’s about embracing the journey and celebrating each step along the way!
Yesterday and today, Samantha and I traveled to Rainier to attend Crisis Management for School-Based Incidents training that
was taught by Homeland Security and FEMA. It focused on all aspects of a crisis and how to appropriately plan and respond in
different situations. It was a lot of information and have a number of different ideas to share with the rest of the team. I am
looking forward to getting plans into action to ensure that we have top notch safety plans in place for our students. I hope to
share more in a few weeks. NWEA Map Testing is scheduled for the weeks of January 13th and 20th. Both math and reading
will be assessed for students in grades Kindergarten through 8. This will provide us with updated data to plan our instruction
and interventions around. We have a few different presentations coming up; On January 15th, a presentation on the risks of
Gaming and Gambling will be presented to students in grades 6-12 from a Community Educator with the Minnesota Alliance
on Problem Gambling out of St. Paul. On the 16th, Terrence Talley will be here to lead an assembly on having hope and
sharing hope with others. Terrance was here 5 years ago and did a fabulous job connecting with students and staff. We are
excited to have him back! Winter Homecoming is scheduled for the last week of January. Student Council has chosen the theme
of Homecoming Hoedown with many activities and events to keep students and staff engaged and active that week.
The Golden Apple Winner for the month of December is Mrs. Fontana! Mrs. Fontana goes above and beyond in everything that
she chooses to do. Whether it is helping a student with homework, helping multiple students at once, decorating classrooms that
are boring, or coordinating awesome school-wide activities, Mrs. Fontana does it all! She is dedicated to ALL of our students
and consistently prioritizes the needs of our students. Her classroom is welcoming and students feel comfortable going to her
for help or advice. Mrs. Fontana’s passion for teaching and her genuine care for her students and staff, make her an exceptional teacher. Above all, she does everything with a smile on her face (and it is almost impossible to not smile when you hear her
contagious laugh!) We’re so grateful for Mrs. Fontana and all the wonderful things she does for our school!
Board Report: None.
Superintendent’s Report: I want to welcome all new and current members to ISD #363 School Board. Please feel free to
reach out with any questions or concerns you may have. A lot of times I will reply to all board members if one member asks
a question. Oftentimes, if one board member has a question, it is more than likely that others do as well. My primary
job and responsibility is to oversee the daily operations of the school district and I work on behalf of the school board as a
whole. I do ask that if board members receive any questions, complaints and/or concerns to please direct those folks to me
so I am able to assist them. There might be times that a citizen may not like the answer they hear from me and they will say
that they are going to contact a board member. I will let them know that is well within their right and I immediately connect
with the board member to fill them in on what is happening so they are not caught by surprise. I look forward to working
with all of you and know that I can be reached 24/7 via my cell phone. Do not hesitate to reach out if I can be of
assistance.
The next regular monthly board meeting will be held on February 19, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. at Northome School. A work session
will be held on February 19, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. at Northome School.
Moved by Vickie Hasbargen, seconded by Scott Mai to adjourn at 8:49 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.

Northome Principal’s Report: Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone. I want to congratulate the staff winners of, “Heart in Your
Pocket.” It was a fun and competitive day with lots of smiles. Congrats to Tyrone Moen, Joe Furuseth, Kim Lindner, Trina
Bender, Cayla Buentemeier, Becky Kallio, Taylor Sears, and Betsy Henning. February is I Love to Read Month. Our
elementary students have been busy celebrating in different ways. We have had guest readers, fort reading, flashlight reading
and even a visit from our favorite Pete the Cat. Classes are working to get their reading chain up to my office. If they reach my
office by March 1st, we will be having a special celebration. The top readers from each class will also be treated to breakfast
with me at The Shining Light. We had our first ELearning Day of the year last week and it was a success. We had over 80% of
students attend and follow their ELearning Plan. I want to thank the students and families for their active participation.
On March 4th, we will have a presenter/ trainer from Solution Tree here to work with all of our staff. We will focus on
strengthening our PLC’s building wide. I encourage all classified staff as well as Board Members to also enjoy us for this
exciting work. March 4th is also parent teacher conferences from 3:30 to 7pm. Northome’s world famous hot dogs will be
served from 4:15- 6:15 pm in the Commons. We are currently working on rescheduling Character Challenge for later in March.
We had to reschedule due to the two hour late start. A group of Brain Bee members are currently on their way back from the
Minnesota State Brain Bee competition that took place at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Campus. I want to thank
Mr. Schneider for his leadership in coaching this team. PBIS Sticking with a goal- students and teachers are setting goals for
the new year and working to sticking to those goals. Next week is Winter Homecoming. Our theme this year is Sportify, play it
loud! Student Council members and advisors have been busy preparing theme days and other special events for the week.
The Golden Apple winner for the month is Mr. Hanson. He is such an asset to our school. He holds students accountable to do
their best work, while meeting each student where they are at. His kindness, approachable demeanor and humor create a
welcoming environment that allows students to feel at home in his classrooms everyday. Mr. Hanson brings History to life
with meaningful discussions and lessons as well as teaching students applicable life skills through his trades and shop classes.
He is like a Swiss Army knife of teaching, super flexible and willing to step in and step up when and where help is needed.
We’re blessed to have him at Northome School!
Board Report: Teacher 23-25 Master Agreement negotiation is completed.

Northome Principal’s Report: Even with the clouds and rain, we celebrated the Solar Eclipse on Monday. We had different
stations set up in the gym for students to participate in. A few of our 4th and 5th grade experts also presented to our guests. We
had around 30 community members come spend the afternoon with us. MCA’s started last Thursday. That means that
Survivor: Northome Edition is back! Each grade level in grades 7-12 has created a tribe name and have been competing in
different challenges throughout the week. We will continue our challenges and Tribal Council throughout the month of April.
In order to encourage students to work hard and try their best, I met with all students in grades 7-12 that are taking the MCA’s
to set individual goals. We used data from past years to set these goals. Students that reach their individual goal will be treated
to a field trip to Duluth in May. The Bakken Museum will be here to present to our K-6th graders tomorrow. They will be
presenting on the developments of science and technology. On April 25th we will be having a “Spotlight Night,” where K-6
classes will be showing off some of the exciting work that they have been doing. Our science students will also be displaying
their Science Projects at this time. We will also hold our annual Spring Carnival with games, a meal and fun. All families and
community members are invited to join us. The Golden Apple winner for the month of March is Ms. Wickum. Ms. Wickum is a
jack of all trades in the building. She’s always willing to jump in and help problem solve until a solution is found. She is
passionate about what she does and holds students to high standards in order for continued success.
Board Report: Athletic Coop meeting on 4/10/24 to review coaches, the upcoming Athletic Banquet and next year’s staffing for

“Becoming a Nature Detective.” There are also weekly themes. This week’s theme is, “Nature on Land.” Students have been
exploring nature all over the campus and beyond. Our 2nd-6th graders took a trip to the Lost 40 and Dora Lake last week to
learn about different nature environments. Grades 4-8 will be traveling to the Bear Center in Orr tomorrow. I want to thank all
of our summer staff for the great work they have been doing. They have created a learning environment that is exciting and new
for our students to learn in for the summer. We will have the final two weeks of class in July. I want to congratulate our Softball
girls on their trip to State! This is a first for our Mustang girls and we are incredibly proud of their accomplishments both on
and off of the field. They worked hard and made unforgettable memories. Our Trap Team traveled to Alexandria this last
weekend to participate in the Minnesota Trap Shooting Championship. We are still working to finalize the schedule for next
year to some staff shifting.
Board Report: None.
Superintendent’s Report: Our school district was one of 380 of 574 eligible districts to receive the 2024 School Finance Award.

Financial Report: FY24 Annual Audit by Brady Martz is set to take place on August 5 th and 6 th , 2024.
Northome Principal’s Report: Next week we start our second two week block of Summer Academy. Our theme or week one is
Nature in Water and the second week is Nature in the Sky. Students are headed to Bemidji on the 18th for some mini golf and a
picnic at the park. During the last week, students will help to clean up the Koochiching County Fairgrounds and then on the last
day of programming we will have guests visiting to do a live Raptor Presentation that is being sponsored by the Northome
Library. All community members are invited to join. Our theme for the upcoming school year will be, “Let Your Mind-Set the
Stage.” Each month we will have a Monthly Mindset to focus on. This year we will have a number of
important initiatives going on throughout our building. READ Act- all K-12 Literacy teachers and support staff will be
completing the 40 hour Science of Reading Training through Core. We will be having regular meetings to review the material
and implementation within classrooms. FASTBridge- As part of the Read Act, the state is requiring certain assessment tools to
be used. All K-12 classrooms will transition from using STAR to FastBridge as a Universal Screener in Reading and Math.
FastBridge comes with a lot of great data and interventions that can be used within the classroom. Intervention blocks K-12. All
K-8 students will have a Reading and Math WIN block each day. 9-12 students will have a 15 minute block embedded within
their Math and English classes. We will use a similar Collaboration model as we have been in elementary. Student data will be
reviewed every 10 days to determine areas of need and where explicit instruction is needed. MTSS (Multi Tiered Systems of
Supports aka RTI). We will be looking at our current practices being used within the building and tweak them to best meet the
needs of all of our learners. Our SST team will support teachers with different strategies to use within the classroom to support
specific student needs. Our schedule is complete for the most part. A few things have changed to allow for intervention blocks
within the high school. Within the schedule there are also teacher collaboration times once a week where we can meet as a team
to look at student data, instruction, curriculum implementation. I have been working with our secondary English team to
explore different literacy curriculums. We are looking for something that meets the state standards, allows for differentiation
and is relevant for our students.
Board Report: None.
Superintendent’s Report: I wanted to send out an email to let everyone know we will be doing some restructuring in the way we
support our students, staff and families for the 24-25 school year. The reason behind this shift is to provide additional support to
our staff in the areas of teaching and learning. 1) We have a huge initiative from MDE (READ Act) that we need to implement
and 2) We need to continue to streamline (Pre-K through 12) how we differentiate our instruction for students (WIN Time).
In order to support our students, families and staff, Ms. Lehn will be spending a majority of her time supporting staff with
evidence-based practices in the classroom. In order to free up time for Ms. Lehn to support our staff in this manner, Ms.
Hildebrandt and I will be handling student discipline/support. For the 24-25 school year, staff will contact either myself or Ms.
Hildebrandt for student behavior issues that cannot be handled by classroom teachers and/or staff in the building. As a former
principal, I know that dealing with student incidents can quickly consume one person’s day. It is our hope by restructuring the
way we do things that it will enable us to provide a sharper focus to our instructional approach and ensure we are using
evidence-based practices that are guided by current research and data. We will share more information about this change
during our August Workshop.
The next regular monthly board meeting will be held on August 14 at 7:00 p.m. at Northome School.
Moved by Ralph Lewis, seconded by Malisa Schue to adjourn at 7:59 pm. Motion carried unanimously.

Financial Report: Scheduled meeting with Brady Martz on 9/12/24 to discuss the preliminary fund balance.
Northome Principal’s Report: We have had a fantastic start to the school year! We have had many new faces join our Mustang
family. Things have been rolling smoothly and we hope it continues that way. Our 7 days of Workshop Week with staff were
great. We were able to spend a lot of time focusing on our PLC structure, instructional practices and teamwork. I think the Staff
Olympics were the highlight for all of us. It certainly brought some excitement to each day! We are fortunate enough to have a
Koochiching County Deputy joining our 6th graders every Tuesday for the DARE program. Over the years DARE has moved
from only being about drugs and alcohol prevention. It now covers the topics of fentanyl, opiate, over the counter and
prescription drugs, and vaping prevention as well as safety around social media, internet safety, bullying and suicide
prevention. We are excited to be able to offer DARE to our students again. Our Intervention (WIN) groups for grades K-8 will
begin next week. Teachers have been busy collecting and analyzing data in order to appropriately group students into groups.
Teachers have been busy learning new curriculums and assessment platforms. It is a learning curve but we will get there.
Literacy teachers have completed Module 1 of the CORE professional development required through the READ Act. We have
two guests from the NorthWest Service Coop coming to help with implementation and strategizing. We will have our first All
School Celebration on Friday, September 27th. This month we are focusing on the mindset of being prepared.
Board Report: None.
Superintendent’s Report: Building Project Update: The 18,000 gallon propane tank has been delivered and set into place. The
demolition of existing boilers has been completed and the two new boilers have been delivered. A new gas hot water heater has
been installed. Peterson’s Sheet Metal feels they will have everything hooked up and ready to go by the first part of October.
They will then continue to work indoors as long as it does not disrupt our school day.
The next regular monthly board meeting will be held on October 9 at 7:00 p.m. at Northome School.
Moved by Ralph Lewis, seconded by Emily Lindley to adjourn at 7:44 pm. Motion carried unanimously.

Financial Report: Discussion on current bond and boiler/IAQ project by Superintendent Jeremy Tammi.
Northome Principal’s Report: Last week was our Fall Homecoming with the theme of, “Once Upon a Homecoming,” Disney
themed. Students participated in dress up days and a volleyball tournament throughout the week and the boys took away the
win against Bigfork Friday night. The monthly mindset for October is Passionate. Being passionate means approaching
everything with enthusiasm, dedication, and a deep sense of purpose. It’s a mindset that fuels hard work and creativity,
allowing individuals to overcome challenges and reach their full potential. My monthly read aloud for elementary is, “The
Passionate Ninja.” Monday is Indigenous Peoples Day. Since we currently do not have an Indigenous Studies Coordinator, I
asked some high school students to help plan the day. Elementary students will be enjoying a story about Frybread, a craft and
then taste testing Fry Bread. High school students will be treated to an Indigenous Dessert and drink at lunch. I want to thank
the group of high schoolers that helped me plan and coordinate this. Last Wednesday was Custodian Appreciation Day. I would
like to give a special thank you to Steve, Roger and Cooper for all that they do to keep our building up and running each day.
Our Spotlight Students of the month are; Brooklyn Lowe, Wyatt Forseen, Wyatt Kisley, Chevie Naughton, Emma Rowe, Jailyn
Baird, Makale Johnson, Morgan Romney, Wyatt Krauss and Adrienne Rosebear. I am very proud of these 10 students and the
positive way they started off the year. You can check out the Spotlight Board in the Commons and see why each student was
nominated. The winner of the Golden Apple award for the month of September is Samantha Hildebrandt. Ms. Hildebrandt is
the epitome of dedication and excellence, making her a deserving recipient of the Golden Apple Award. In her new roles and responsibilities, she has consistently demonstrated a commitment to doing what is best for students. Her tireless effort to
support the entire school community, coupled with her readiness to assist anyone in need, has left a lasting impact. Whether it’s
guiding students or lending a hand to her colleagues, Ms. Hildebrandt’s positive attitude and selflessness truly set her apart.
Board Report: Retired Indus FACS Teacher Lois Lewis received an AAFCS national achievement.
Superintendent’s Report: School District residents that are eligible to vote should have received their mail-in ballots from
Koochiching County for the November 5th election. ISD #363 has 6 candidates running for 3 school board seats. We will be
working with Solution Tree for our November 4th Staff Development Day. The purpose of our training will be to build upon
our Professional Learning Communities (PLC’s) and evidence based instructional practices in the classroom.
The next regular monthly board meeting will be held on November 13 at 7:00 p.m. at Northome School.
Moved by Ralph Lewis, seconded by Emily Lindley to adjourn at 7:31 pm. Motion carried unanimously.

Financial Report: FY24 Audit by Brady Martz went well. The district is moving forward with positive spending vs deficit spending.
Northome Principal’s Report: Today is World Kindness Day. Every class in grades K-12 was challenged to become Kindness Ninjas and surprise someone in the building today with kindness. Some of the acts of kindness included: Our Monthly Mindset for November is Positive Risk Taking. Adopting a mindset of risk-taking is essential for everyone that wants to maximize their potential in school and beyond. Stepping out of our comfort zone allows us to embrace challenges that foster personal and academic growth. By engaging in positive risk-taking—whether it’s trying a new activity, voicing an opinion in class, or leading a group project—we not only build confidence but also learn valuable lessons from experiences. Taking these risks often inspires others to do the same, creating a supportive environment where growth is collective. Ultimately, it is through taking calculated risks that we develop resilience, adaptability, and leadership skills, all crucial for long-term success. I will be sharing my monthly read aloud with elementary classes next week which will focus on being brave, trying new things and taking risks in order to grow. Basketball has started. Our Varsity and JV girls started practice last Monday and the boys will start next week. We have a few new athletes joining our teams which is always exciting. We held our annual Veteran’s Day Program last Friday and had a great turnout. I want to thank all of the staff, students and community members that helped make this a special event. On November 4th we had professional development for all teachers where we worked with Karina Cole from Solution Tree and focused on incorporating Social Emotional Learning within our everyday lessons. It has been exciting to see teachers trying new strategies and activities in their classrooms. The winner of the Golden Apple award for the month is Mrs. Waller.

Financial Report: Truth in Taxation Meeting.
Northome Principal’s Report: Our music students have been working hard to prepare for our Annual Christmas Concert
tomorrow night in the large gym at 6:30 with cookies and refreshments to follow. Our students are again working to fill our
snow globes with acts of empathy, kindness and generosity. The goal is to fill both snow globes by Christmas Break to earn a
Winter fun and Lumberjack Day! The Student Council has also planned theme days to get everyone in the spirit next week. A
number of our staff are participating in the 12 Days of Wellness Challenge. We are split into three different teams and have a
different wellness challenge to complete each day. The monthly mindset for December is Empathy. Empathy is about
understanding how someone else feels and showing kindness, even if you haven’t experienced the same situation. At school
and in life, showing empathy means listening when a friend is upset, offering help when someone is struggling, or simply being
patient with others. It’s like putting yourself in someone else’s shoes to see the world from their perspective. When we practice
empathy, we make others feel cared for, build stronger friendships, and help create a kinder, more supportive community.
Remember, a little kindness can brighten someone’s day and inspire them to pass it on! The elementary read aloud for this
month is called, “Stand in My Shoes.” The Golden Apple winner for the month of November is Mr. Boser. Mr. Boser is an
exceptional physical education teacher who brings energy, joy, and compassion to every lesson. He is deeply caring and
encouraging, building strong rapport with his students by understanding their individual circumstances and meeting them where
they are. With a positive attitude and a great sense of humor, he transforms potentially mundane activities into engaging and
fun experiences that students look forward to. Whether he's playing music to energize the class, participating in games
alongside his students, or sharing his signature big smile, he creates a welcoming environment where every student feels
valued. As a teammate, he is collaborative, supportive, and always ready to contribute fresh ideas, making him a vital part of
any team. His ability to make learning enjoyable while fostering a love for physical activity truly sets him apart.

Financial Reports: Supt. Jeremy Tammi and Business Manager Alissa Carlson will meet to discuss budget revisions to be
presented at the February board meeting.
Indus Principal’s Report: We are happy to be back after the holiday break! We left school a little earlier than expected, but we
are happy to be back. The well issues are being addressed. As Mr. Tammi mentioned, the water tested safe. Von is continually
monitoring the situation and changing filters as needed. This project will continue until the ground is thawed enough for the
well drillers to do anything major. We will keep our fingers crossed that our maintenance in the meantime will take care of it.
We also had a pipe burst in the boys locker room. Shannon’s came and determined the pipes did freeze. The heater in the locker
room wasn’t working properly. The belts are being replaced and we should be back in business. As of today, the water is back
on in the boys locker room. I would like to thank Indus staff for continuously doing their part to be flexible as far as
teacher/para coverage within the school. On days where we have nobody available, our staff is more than willing to help out to
make sure our students have what they need. Ms. Lehn and I were able to attend the drug task force meeting on January 4th
with several members of the Koochiching County community. The committee will be organizing a public forum where
individuals can come and learn about the issues the community faces concerning youth drug use. This event will be advertised
through the radio stations and will be held at the Backus Center on Feb. 8th. We have another meeting scheduled for January
18th. Notes from Ms. Cain: The new year is bringing some new changes to the food shelf. Our food delivery date has changed
to the beginning of each month rather than the middle of the month. This is hopefully going to allow us to access a different
variety of food for our customers. We are now getting a fresh produce box every month as one of our bonus boxes. There were
a total of 12 visits for December. Which is a little lower than average due to Christmas Vacation. We are doing some
rearranging of the pantry including adding more shelving and storage. The student part of the pantry is doing extremely well.
We have seen a large increase in visits by the students. We are reaching out to the families of those students we see as “High
Flyers” to the student pantry and making sure we help them as needed. We are also trying a wider variety of food for those
students as well.
Northome Principal’s Report: Welcome back to the new year! Staff and students seemed excited to be back in the building and
together after break. Both staff and students have been taking time to set goals for the upcoming year and semester. Alex from
the Army Recruitment center in Bemidji was here to present Army 101 to our 10th through 12th graders on Monday. There is
no school next Monday, January 16th due to Martin Luther King Day. Northome will host the district Spelling Bee next
Thursday, January 19th. Indus will join us for the bee around 10am and then will join us for lunch before heading back. The
end of quarter 2/ semester 1 is January 20th. We will be taking time to celebrate all of the accomplishments from semester 1.
Our students and staff have done a lot of hard work the first half of the year. We will have our next All School celebration on
Friday. This month we are focusing on living a positive lifestyle and overcoming challenges. I will be visiting each elementary
classroom for our monthly read aloud in the coming days. We will be reading, “Energy Bus,” which ties directly into our theme
of overcoming negativity and overcoming obstacles. Homecoming is planned for the week of January 23rd (as long as the
floors are complete. Student Council has been busy planning events and a pepfest. Teachers are focusing on strategies to be a
Champion for all of our students. This is all about developing relationships and making adjustments to meet the needs of every
individual student. Betsy and I have joined the Koochiching County Juvenile Drug Task Force. I want to invite all of you to
attend the Open Forum on February 8th at 6 pm, the location is TBD. We are also looking at offering a virtual option. The
Golden Apple winner for the month of January is LeAnn Bolhuis. LeAnn is very dedicated to her job, works hard to meet the
needs if her students, and makes extra efforts to check in with her students when needed.
Board Report: None.
Superintendent’s Report: Happy New Year and Congratulations again to our newest Board Members. I wanted to give
the Board an update on Northome Gymnasium Floor. The line painting will be completed by tomorrow and the finishing coats
will be applied starting on Thursday, January 19 th. There will be three coats applied on three consecutive days. Once the final
coat is applied, the floor will need to sit for 7-10 days. We anticipate the floor open for use the week of January 30 th.
Northome Community Ed Report – Current Activities: Grades 3-5 Youth Basketball registration is happening; mostly in
Kelliher at this time due to gym reconstruction. Fancy Frosted Sugar Cookies in early December was a huge success and
we are hopeful to get the instructor back in the spring. Upcoming: Beading. Tentative date was set for January but due to an
illness the instructor needs to reschedule. Senior Defensive Driving: Initial & Refresher. Date/details are being worked out.
PomPoms. Ceramics class. Crazy Quilted Pincushion. Anyone interested in sharing a skill and teaching a community ed class is
encouraged to contact Libby Wickum. Indus Community Ed Report – Indus Community Ed is planning a few different things
for the upcoming months. These include bringing back the Indus Ski Trip to Giants Ridge. This is a community favorite and has been highly missed and asked for. I have been talking to Giants Ridge and they are putting together package pricing for
me. The big problem again is transportation due to we no longer having district busing. I am reaching out to families and to
Reinke bussing to see what our options are. If we can work everything out we are planning to do the trip on Saturday, February
25th. I have been in contact with Stacy Hall from 4H to do a spring session in March but would like to add a winter session
starting in February as well if we can figure out schedules and transportation. The new year is bringing some new changes to
the food shelf. Our food delivery date has changed to the beginning of each month rather than the middle of the month. This
is hopefully going to allow us to access a different variety of food for our customers. We are now getting a fresh produce box
every month as one of our bonus boxes. There was a total of 12 visit for December. Which is a little lower than average due to
Christmas Vacation. We are doing some rearranging of the pantry including adding more shelving and storage. The student part
of the pantry is doing extremely well. We have seen a large increase in visits by the students. We are reaching out to the
families of those students we see as “High Flyers” to the student pantry and making sure we help them as needed. We are also
trying to a wider variety of food for those students as well. We are still hoping to have afterschool Rec and some art classes in
the spring depending on staff and teacher availability. As always please reach out to me if you have any questions or ideas.
The next regular monthly board meeting will be held on February 8, 2023 at 7:00 pm at Indus and by ITV.
Moved by Ralph Lewis, seconded by Scott Mai to adjourn at 8:04 pm. Motion carried unanimously.

Indus Transportation Contract Discussion. Notes: Reinke Bus Company will no longer be serving the Indus’ transportation
needs beginning school year 2023-24. Indus transportation bids are open until March 31, 2023. No bids have been received at
this time. Maggert Transportation offered to help provide buses but drivers would still be needed. There are two district buses
available. Scott Mai suggested advertising for bus drivers. Superintendent Jeremy Tammi offered to post job positions for bus
drivers via newspaper and Facebook. Indus has 3 bus routes along with 1 van route and would be in need of four drivers,
possibly three, considering Indus Para Steve Kramer currently drives bus for Reinke Bus Company.
FY23 Budget Discussion. Notes: FY23 revised budget was presented by Superintendent Jeremy Tammi which included ESSER
revenue, a decrease in anticipated timber sales and a final roofing cost. Northome and Indus schools indoor air quality projects,
a new Northome elevator, a Northome gymnasium scoreboard and the Indus wastewater treatment facility needing to be
decommissioned were also discussed.
Moved by Malisa Schue, seconded by Emily Lindley to approve Resolution Directing Administration to Make

Indus Principal’s Report: Congratulations to our Spelling Bee Winner, Aiden Smith who represented South Koochiching
County School District in Thief River at the regional Spelling Bee. Aiden attended the spelling bee and took 8th place. Falls
Hunger Coalition is now Koochiching Food Access. Janet Hasbargen retired after 36 years of service. Her last day was Feb.
10th. The school held a small celebration in her honor. The event was well attended and all students helped clean up after the
ceremony was over. Mrs. Holte took our band students to Backus Band Days in International Falls. (2/15) The students got the
opportunity to perform with other local schools and learn what it is like to play in a large ensemble. The freezer compressor on
our large lunch room freezer quit working on the 13th. We had to scramble to save our food. The part will be replaced on
Wednesday the 15th. Students have been cross country skiing and ice skating! It has been so nice out we are enjoying the
weather while it lasts!
Northome Principal’s Report: Last week we had Homecoming. Our theme this year was VS. Winner Takes All. Student
Council hosted a week full of fun and challenging activities. I want to thank everyone that helped out throughout the week as
well as those that supervised the dance. Fun was had by all. We had our All School Celebration last week as well. Students
were recognized for having Positive Attitudes and showing Kindness. Last week was School Counselor Appreciation Week. I
would like to thank Christine Lundin for everything she does to support our students so each of them can be successful. Next
Wednesday is Bus Driver Appreciation Day! We will be showing our appreciation to our amazing bus drivers with cards and
treats. I want to thank each of them for getting our students to and from school safely each day. This week is Kindness Week,
each day students and staff have the opportunity to fill out a heart to recognize someone showing kindness. Names are drawn
each day and recognized on the announcements. Every day is a good day to be kind. February is I Love to Read Month. Our
elementary students have been celebrating all month so far with mystery readers, flashlight reading and lots of reading
challenges. They are working to read enough books so their book chain reaches my office. If they are successful with this, they
will have a big surprise coming their way. The Golden Apple winner for the month is Karl Kallio. He has encountered some of
the grossest jobs but has dealt with it so no one else had to. Karl takes pride in his work which is obvious by how great the
school looks every day. Take a moment and check out the trophy case. He just got done making that look perfect!
Board Report: None.
Superintendent’s Report: A compressor went out on the Indus Freezer over this past weekend. A part has been ordered with an
estimated cost of part replacement and labor around $3,500 and the plan was to have the compressor repaired today. In the
meantime, a chest freezer was purchased from Menards to store the frozen goods. Northome school and the City of Northome
had an unplanned power outage on Monday, February 13th. The power went out around 10:30AM. We were in
communication with North Itasca throughout the morning and they could not give a time frame when the power would be
restored. I made the decision around 12:00 to have an early dismissal since there were no lights in the building and water
pressure was an issue. Northome students were dismissed at 1:00PM. The Northome School had a roof leak with the warmer
temperatures. I contacted Nelson’s Roofing and they send a crew up to take a look on Monday. They reported that they found some T-Seams around a drain that needed additional caulking. Our school district has registered for three Virtual Career Fairs:
Minnesota Educators Career Fair on March 23rd and April 13 th , UMD/UofW Superior Virtual Career Fair on April 6 th . Waiting
on a response regarding Saint Cloud’s availability for March 3rd. I would like to thank Ms. Mayer, Mr. Bowles and Ms. Robar
for their willingness to help out with the Career Fairs. We are anticipating a number of openings during the 2023-2024 school
year and our hope is by attending some of these events we can recruit candidates to fill the positions. With our school
cancellation today, our Indus school will need to make up a student contact day since we have exhausted the allocated 5
eLearning Days and the two built in “snow days” in our school calendar. I have been in contact with Ms. Gerard and we are
looking at the March 6 th professional development date as a possible student contact make-up date.
The next regular monthly board meeting will be held on March 8, 2023 at Indus and by ITV.
Moved by Scott Mai, seconded by Ralph Lewis to adjourn at 7:57 pm. Motion carried unanimously.

Indus Principal’s Report: We just finished Dr. Seuss Week! We all had a fun week! Our elementary students went to Voyageurs
for some animal tracking and snowshoeing on Thursday the 2nd. We have softball, track and TRAP starting March 13th.
Captains practice for softball has already been underway. Mrs. Robar was able to attend a job fair in St. Cloud on Friday. We
have two potential applicants for the PE position and 2 potential applicants for the Social Studies position. I also have one other
person interested in the PE position from another local school as well as 2 individuals interested in obtaining their bus license.
Local Author Mary Casonova is coming to speak to us on March 9th, we look forward to working with her and introducing her
to our students. The students have been enjoying our skating rink. Thank you to Mrs. Nosan and everyone who helped get the
ice ready. Our National Honor Society is having coin wars next week as a fundraiser for the state convention. NHS also has
two Birchdale breakfast fundraisers coming up scheduled for the 8th and 15th of April. We were lucky to have former student,
and potential future teacher, Brian Pearson come and speak with students on Monday the 6th. He taught the students some
Ojibwe vocabulary and culture. The students were excited to learn some new words and had lots of questions.
Northome Principal’s Report: We had a successful day and evening of conferences. We had one of the best turn outs that we
have had since COVID. I want to thank all of our families that took the time to attend. With February being I Love to Read
Month, we had lots of busy readers. Congratulations to our top readers in elementary. They will be treated to breakfast with Ms.
Lehn on Friday. Our elementary students read a total of 2,389,586 words. A group of 7th and 8th graders traveled to Thief
River Falls today to participate in the Young Authors Conference. All of our 9-12th grade students participated in a Career Fair
today. Thank you to Ms. Lundin for arranging this. High School students are invited to attend the College Fair at Red Lake
Community College on March 15th. Thank you Steph Skaret for organizing this. We had our All School Celebration last week
as well. Students were recognized for having Positive Attitudes and showing Kindness. MCA’s will begin on April 3rd. We
will be hosting Survivor: Northome Edition again this year to help our high school students prepare. Details of the Survivor
challenge will be coming soon. The Golden Apple winner for the month is Jim Schneider. Mr. Schneider cares a lot about his
students and athletes. He is very involved in his studies and the community. Mr. Schneider will also help you with anything
you need, if you need help with something, or if you just have a question you want an answer to, he is the guy to go to.

Financial Report: The district received the most recent Timber Sales check of $421,708.31 on 4/12/23 with an unexpected
increase of $131,738.85 compared to the current budget.
Indus Principal’s Report: Despite everything going on, Indus is more of a family than ever. Emotions are high but we are doing
what we can to support our school community, especially our students. On April 6th, Our plumbing students got to tour the
local trades job site for the new grocery store in the Falls in the old Kmart building. It was an excellent learning experience and
a chance to make some local connections. Our elementary students enjoyed our ice rink as much as they could getting in as
many skating sessions as possible. They also had the opportunity to set up some maple taps across the street from the school.
We are very excited for spring! We are just finishing up our MCA testing with one more session tomorrow and only a few
make up tests to go. Our Food Pantry is busier than ever! We had over 312 visits last month! Softball and Track are all
underway! Trap begins practice this Friday. We are hoping the spring melt cooperates so we can get some games in! AR Report from Amber Peterson – We have accomplished reading 208 books throughout our AR sessions. I have been able to see
the students progress in reading ranges and abilities. We will have completed our book and it is getting sent out for publishing
on Apr 21, 2023. We have focused our projects on STEAM education standards. We have watched a pumpkin rot, while
practicing observation and documenting skills. Observation sheets for time it takes Halloween candy to dissolve in diverse
liquids. We’ve utilized candy thermometers and made cotton candy with diverse sugars. Creating diverse art from magazine
collages representing settings to paintings reflecting images of characters, as well as pastel art of outdoors and wildlife. Our top
points go to Evan James, Adlyn Hazelton, and Eleanor Gerard. Special acknowledgements to Adlyn Hazelton, Benjamin Robar,
and Cadence Ross for passing all tests attempted. It’s been a great year for AR!
Northome Principal’s Report: MCA’s are up and running. Due to the weather last week we had to do some rescheduling but we
should be on track now. I want to thank Christine Lundin, Corey White and all of the staff that have been helping to administer
these. Survivor: Northome Edition MCA prep competition is still going. Two teams have been voted off and are on redemption
island. They still have time to get back in the game. Our next challenge will be on Friday afternoon!
Our high school band and choir students traveled to Park Rapids today to participate in a Large Group Ensemble Competition.
Both groups did great receiving a Superior rating. Congratulations to students, Ms. Dahlin and Ms. Aas. This Friday we will
hold April’s All School Celebration. We will take time to honor all of our students and staff for all of the ways they show
Mustang Pride each day. Ann Siats from the American Legion Auxiliary will also be here to present the winners of the
Americanism Essay contest. The PBIS theme for the month of April is, “Find your joy.” We have been focusing on mindfulness
and self care. The PBIS team and students have been working on how to integrate mindfulness and calm into our daily lives at
home and school. This Friday, Alicia Randall from Koochiching County will be here to present to our high school students on
suicide prevention and mental health. Next Thursday we will hold our Elementary Music Concert at 5:30 with our Springtastic
Festival and dinner to follow. I want to thank everyone that has volunteered to host a booth at the carnival.
Board Report: Scott Mai requested more time to consider other financial options and planning prior to considering closing
Indus School. Scott Mai also spoke of the importance of the Indus school to the community. Scott Mai requested to make a
motion but the request was rejected by Chairperson Bob Stueven. Ralph Lewis discussed the district’s financial status and
questioned how the district could be in deficit based on the current budget numbers. A BRIC meeting will be held on 4/13/23 in
which Bob Stueven, Doug Jourdan, Jeremy Tammi and Betsy Gerard will attend.
Superintendent’s Report: Interest Rates on the Cash/Investment Report have been updated. The rates from the MSDLAF
change daily. Information about the “Horse Barn” facility that has been floated is untrue. The amount that is being referred to
is $745,000 that was coded to UFARS 520, which is for the Indus and Northome roofing project. A payment of $707,750 and
$37,250 (retainage) were sent to Nelson’s roofing. This equals the $745,000 that has been questioned and coded under UFARS
520. Another comment was made about ESSER/Covid-19 dollars and that the District paid MDE back these funds and never
received the funding. This is not accurate. What ended up happening is the ESSER/Covid money was awarded at the end of
FY21 and the District pulled these funds into our system. A majority of the expenses then occurred in FY22, but since the
funds were pulled in FY21, we needed to pay MDE the amount back that was initially pulled in FY21 so MDE could then place
this money into FY22 and the revenue would match the expenses occurring in the same fiscal year. A comment was made
regarding the MSHSL Transfer Rule. The MSHSL does have rules in place, that at times, can prohibit students from willingly
transferring from one HS to another with a consequence of sitting out one year of athletic eligibility. However, there are
provisions in place that do allow for transfers based on special circumstances. One provision being the principals and activities
director from both the sending and receiving schools agree that circumstances exist which warrant a review of varsity eligibility
by the MSHSL. One such circumstance would be in the event of a school closing. A staff member brought forth the comment
about not having Mental Health support for students and staff in the Indus Building. This is not accurate. Ashley Briggs from
Northwoods Counseling is in the Indus building three days per week. A comment was made on April 3, at the Public Hearing
regarding Timber and Con Con revenue. Highlighted are two amounts that were not included in the original report I received.
The 2018 Volstad Revenue in the amount of $11,530.58 and $233.57 of Tax Forfeit revenue in FY22. I did not have the two
numbers of $11,530.58 and $233.57 for my initial report.
County Timber Revenue
Fiscal Year 18 $873,132 plus $11,530.58 Volstad
Total=$884,663.61
Fiscal Year 19 $788,281

preschoolers back. Our students and staff have done a great job jumping back into the swing of things. Homerooms have been
busy designing their RoadMaps to success for the year. Students will be completing their individual RoadMaps in the next
week or so. Next week we will start MAP testing. Thank you to Christine and Corey for coordinating this. Elementary WIN
groups will be starting on Tuesday. Grades 7 and 8 will begin intervention groups in the next two weeks or so. Our football and
volleyball teams have been busy. Mini Mustang volleyball started this week and we have 20 players. It is going to be a great
season. In the next few weeks we have a number of things coming up such as bus safety, picture day, homecoming and our first
all school celebration for the year. It’s been a great start to the year and I want to thank our students, families and staff for
making that happen. I am excited for the rest of the year!

Northome Principal’s Report: Our PBIS theme for October is Excellence. Students and staff will be adding post-its with areas
they show excellence in. We will have this displayed in the Commons. We held conferences on Monday afternoon and evening.
Teachers spent time exploring and learning about taking our instruction outdoors to the school forest. Thank you to Ms. Trisko
and all of the students that shared our community’s history through the Cemetery Tour. What a great project! CLIMB Theatre
was here last week to visit the Pre-k through grade six classes. They presented on showing resilience and owning up to our
mistakes. We had our first all school celebration last Friday. It’s always a great time to come together and celebrate all of the
positives going on within our school. The sixth grade class has cleaned out the garden for the season and had quite a bounty!
The high school teachers have started a book study. We are reading the book, Disruptive Thinking in the Classroom.
The Golden Apple winner for the month of September is Lauren VanBeusekom! Lauren stepped into a new role as our fifth
grade teacher and has done so with stride. Even on the tough days, she continues to show up with a smile and compassion for
her students. We are lucky to have her on our team!

Northome Principal’s Report: It’s hard to believe that we wrapped up the first quarter on Friday already! We have had a very
busy and productive Fall. I am excited to see what the rest of the year brings. Our PBIS theme for November is Inclusion and
Including Others. We will be focusing on embracing each other’s strengths and differences. Students will be presented with the
challenge to sit at a new lunch table with different peers throughout the month. We had our annual Veterans Day Program on
Friday. I want to thank our students, staff and community members for making it a memorable day. I would like to thank the
American Legion’s Women’s Auxiliary for coming in on November 1st to read, America’s White Table, to our elementary
students. Students also participated in a presentation of this book during our Veteran’s Day Celebration. Student Council
hosted two carnivals for our students for Halloween. High schoolers got an afternoon of fun while the elementary students
participated in a fun filled carnival. They did a great job! The Scholastic Book Fair will be held this week. Students will have
the opportunity to visit the Book Fair throughout the week. Our high school Band and Choirs will be traveling to the
Chanhassen Dinner Theatre on Wednesday to see Jersey Boys. The National Guard will be visiting with our Juniors and Seniors next week. The Golden Apple winner for the month of October is Gracie. She has stepped into her new role well and is doing a great job! The kids always cheer when they get to work with her. She is always willing to help and will step up if a job
needs to get done. She is beyond helpful to both the students and staff and a great person to have on our team here at
Northome.

be cookies and refreshments in the Commons afterwards. Everyone is welcome to join us! Our Winter Formal will take place
this Saturday from 8pm to 12pm in the Large Gym. The Student Council and their advisors have been working hard to ensure
that it will be a magical evening. Our PBIS theme for the month of December is gratitude, generosity and kindness. Students
are working to earn “snowballs” to fill our snowglobes of Mustang Pride. Once the snow globes are filled, students will be
rewarded with a Winter Fun Day filled with Lumberjack games and FUN. Student Council has also been busy planning a fun
week of theme days to send us off into break. Staff will have time to Jingle and Mingle over a Holiday Breakfast next Monday.
I would like to invite all School Board Members to join us if you are able. The Golden Apple winner for the month of
November was Jenny Moen. Jenny is a fantastic teacher and is doing a great job with her new role of being a high school
teacher, along with working in the elementary. She takes on other roles at school and works hard to ensure that each and every
student feels safe and happy. Jenny is a great person to lean on and helps with whatever she can!
