A large group of people showed up in support of a USD 445 counselor whose contract was to be voted on to not renew. Community Elementary School Counselor Chelsey Martin's contract was being considered by the USD 445 Board of Education. Vice President Jason Barnett read the resolution that was voted on.
The USD 445 Board met for over an hour in executive session regarding the matter, in which they heard from Martin. Despite the show of support the Board voted unanimously, 7-0, to not renew the contract of Mrs. Martin. There were several, who showed up in support, unhappy with the Board's decision that shouted expletives at the board as they left the meeting.
