The North Bend School District 13 Board Meeting held on August 16, 2025, began with the introduction of new personnel and a discussion of recent security incidents at the high school.

The meeting commenced with the introduction of Jane, the new high school principal, and Brandon Standridge, the athletic director, who recently relocated to the area. Their integration into the district was noted as a positive development.

A significant topic of discussion was a recent break-in at the high school. The incident occurred in the early hours, where an individual attempted to enter the building through a front window and subsequently vandalized food service equipment at the middle school. Fortunately, the intruder was inside for only a brief period, resulting in minimal damage. Daryl, a staff member, played a crucial role during this incident by responding promptly and remaining on-site until morning to ensure the safety of the building.

In recognition of Daryl's dedication, he was honored with a "golden pillow," a mug, and a granola bar for his efforts during the night. This acknowledgment highlighted the importance of staff commitment to student safety and security.

Following this discussion, the meeting moved on to the next agenda item concerning actions related to the sale of district property. The board's focus on security and personnel changes reflects ongoing efforts to enhance the educational environment within the district. Further details on the property sale and its implications for the district were anticipated in subsequent discussions.
