The Southeast Polk Community School District held a meeting on August 8, 2025, to discuss various agenda items, including updates on photography services and policy revisions.

The meeting began with a discussion about the district's photography services. A member shared positive experiences from recent baseball games, highlighting the work of the outgoing photographer. The member expressed regret over the departure but was reassured by the hiring of a new photographer, Mitch Stubbs, who has a long-standing relationship with the district and is well-regarded in the community. The board noted that they had received six proposals for photography services, with Stubbs' company being selected as the best option.

Following this, the board moved on to the second reading of updated policies. A motion was made and seconded to approve the updates, which included a clarification of the cell phone policy for students in grades K-9 and secondary education. The board confirmed that the adjustments were minor and within the process for amending policies.

No further questions or comments were raised regarding the policy updates, and the board members voted unanimously in favor of the changes.

In conclusion, the meeting effectively addressed the transition in photography services and made necessary updates to school policies, ensuring that the district continues to meet the needs of its students and community.
