Trustees: President’s contract to be decided Wednesday

Action on the president’s contract and employment is on the agenda for the North Idaho College board of trustees meeting at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

The meeting will take place in the Lake Coeur d’Alene Room of the Edminster Student Union Building.

Action on renewal of college President Rick MacLennan’s contract has been on the meeting agenda since Aug. 4, tabled in that meeting as well as on Aug. 26 and Aug. 31.

Also on the agenda is action on measures "for the purpose of preventing the spread of COVID-19."

Board chair Todd Banducci has once again removed the public comment section from the agenda, but members of the public can email the board at board@nic.edu.

The trustees will meet at 4 p.m. in executive session.

Meeting materials can be viewed at nic.edu/board.

Included is a letter with COVID-19 recommendations addressed to the board from local health care providers and physicians, as well as results from an NIC student fall survey, with many comments regarding masks and COVID-19 safety measures.

The meeting will also be live-streamed on Zoom.
