Meeting Information

All recommendations from the superintendent, including administrative, business, and construction items, must be put on the consent agenda to be voted on by the school board. Recommendations from board committees will also be placed on the consent agenda for consideration. Board members may pull individual items from the consent agenda for discussion during the board meeting, then vote on the item individually. All items not pulled for discussion from the consent agenda will be voted on collectively.

This section will include first readings and other new business, which are items introduced by individual board members. All items of business that board members want to be considered and voted upon will be presented as a first reading at a board meeting. No debate, discussion, or vote is allowed on a first reading. The first reading will then be placed on the agenda for the next regularly scheduled board meeting as a second reading, which may be discussed and put to a vote. Board minutes of public meetings are also available on the website after they have been adopted by the school board.
