APPROVAL of assignment of Megan Meschery, as Principal/Site Administrator for Loyalton High School was pulled from the agenda during the Sierra Plumas Joint Unified School District’s regular meeting, held Tuesday, June 22. Board Vice President Alan Wright stated he wanted the full board present before approval, as both President Mike Moore and Board member Christina Potter were absent. SPTA President and teacher Laurie Petterson questioned why the Board could approve the budget but not the Principal for Loyalton High School. Board member Nicole Stannard said during closed session the board decided the appointing was such a big deal that they wanted to have all five members present. She stated they were going to schedule a special meeting so all members could be present and make this serious decision. Petterson felt the budget was equally as big a deal and they were able to pass it without all members. Stannard said the Board was able to look at the budget ahead of time, where some members didn’t know about the appointment. Sierra Schools Foundation President, Jenna Holland questioned securing the vote, stating it seemed highly worrisome and unprofessional.
