1. Sidewalks work completed
2. Dr. Lukens tells team that a door is being repaired. Harvey Law Enforcement identified a door of the school was not locked.

(READ) Remember CTE Center was on the Bond Ballot? Spencer assured the People that there will not be a CTE Center because the School Board responsibility was to educate K-12 students not to provide education beyond that.

According to Mr. Lukens, the attorney made him keep the CTE on the ballot. Here is a discussion less than 1 yr from that forum where the board is allowing Mr. Lukens to attend meetings in WI on a 4 to 1 vote.

The State of ND is paying for him to go they say to hear more information about Harvey having a CTE Center. Taxpayers should be able to trust what a school board tells them. Are we in for another ride in the future? The State of ND is pushing the CTE Centers. Funding insensitive to have high school students participate in CTE Centers. No mention of additional cost to the taxpayers yet. North Dakota has only 10 CTE in the state. Location of those 10 is not mentioned.

Meeting includes a vote on 14 passenger bus engine replacement around $10,000. Accepted 3 bus drivers' routes with a 4th possibility.

The video begins with the discussion of a survey. The Superintendent texted contacts, parents & etc. about a new survey asking for update on email addresses if they are interested in it to be send out.

In June of 2024 meeting, it was stated for Spencer to create a survey verse using Legendary company survey. Issues came up over Spencer sending out his survey; however, Lukens is acting without board directive on another survey. The first survey was to replace the exit interviews that was not completed. No purpose on mentioned on the Superintendents initiative steps.

Conclusion: No action on any survey is to be taken by anyone at this time. Updating email addresses for the school the board was in full board agreement. Reports: BM Hanson Principle High School report Mr. Rask - Social Studies: Visits planned Legislators, Supreme Court and Criminal cases. Constitution and Bill of Rights and more Sports Activities report on events and decisions.

This is an educational forum about Open Meetings laws in North Dakota. An organization of concerned citizens in Harvey, ND came together to and educated themselves on the local matters and their rights according to North Dakota law. They want to share more of what they have learned and what keeps them moving against opposition.

Completing the cyber–Security Report. Auditor speaks out on Prairie Dog Fund telling the Commissioners that they better hope that fund arrives in the Commissioners meeting. That is an official stand when spoken in the meeting.

A Constituent speaks up on the positive effect of measure 4 and the Chair states he disagrees. He conjectures what it will even look like through creation of more agencies. This discussion at the Commissioners meeting even prompt the Herald Press Journalist to ask, "Are you officially opposing measure 4?" Chairman says no; however, the auditor and the chairman are using the official meeting to discuss their objections to measure 4 and their fear of measure 4 in their meetings. Commissioners represent the people of Wells County. Many in Wells County agree with Measure 4. Who on the Commissioners table represent the people that agree with Measure 4? If no equal support, No discussion should be held at the meeting. A Constituent speaks out in favor of Measure 4. Chairman states, "I disagree", as if that is the final word. Question: Is the Commissioners avoiding making an official statement of stand against Measure 4 because it is an ethical violation only? Should the State Ethical committee include such discussions like this from elected positions standing against a People Measure?
