Jamestown calendars local legal and school board meetings for June 15
Two public meetings put legal defense services and school leadership on the same June 15 agenda, including a farewell for Rob Lech before the school board session.
Jamestown residents had two chances to follow public business on June 15, one focused on indigent legal defense and the other on school leadership. The day linked a quarterly state commission meeting with an evening school board session that also doubled as a farewell for Superintendent Rob Lech.
The North Dakota Commission on Legal Counsel for Indigents met from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Jamestown CLCI Administrative Office, 300 2nd Ave. NE, Suite 212, with an option to join by Microsoft Teams and a call-in number listed on the agenda. The commission’s mission is to provide high quality, professional and effective legal representation to eligible clients, consistent with the guarantees of the constitutions of the United States and North Dakota and applicable statutes and rules, making even a routine quarterly meeting relevant to anyone who follows how defense services are delivered in the state.
Later in the day, the Jamestown Public School Board was scheduled to meet at 5:30 p.m. in the Thompson Community Room at Jamestown Middle School, 203 2nd Ave. SE. Jamestown Public Schools said the public was invited to attend at the school or watch live on YouTube, and its calendar listed the board meeting from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The district normally holds board meetings on the first and third Monday of each month unless otherwise noted.
The June 15 school calendar also set aside 4:30 to 5:15 p.m. for a Dr. Lech Farewell Open House before the board meeting. That added a personal note to the evening, since Jamestown Public Schools lists Robert Lech as superintendent since 2013 and West Fargo Public Schools announced in May 2026 that it had hired him as its secondary assistant superintendent. The farewell gave the board night an extra layer of community interest at a time when parents, staff and district residents often watch closely for decisions that affect budgeting, staffing, student services and district direction.
Jamestown Public Schools describes itself as serving the county seat of Stutsman County and operating four elementary schools, a middle school, a high school, an alternative learning center and a transitional living program for students with disabilities. Together, the two June 15 meetings showed where local decisions were being made and how residents could still get through the door, whether in person, online or by phone.
