The Colonial School District Board of School Directors on Oct. 16 approved a series of routine and substantive items including minutes, financial reports, personnel recommendations and multiple policy actions.
Board members moved and approved minutes (agenda items 4B–4F), September financial reports (items 5B–5L) and the September treasurer’s report after brief calls for a second; specific vote tallies were not recorded in the public transcript. The board also approved the superintendent’s report, personnel report and extracurricular contracts (agenda items 8a–8c), with standard conditions that appointments be contingent on valid credentials and employment verification.
On policy matters, the board approved on second reading Policy 101 (mission, vision, shared values), Policy 330 (overtime), and Policy 702 (gifts, grants and donations). The board also took a first-read vote on Policy 237 (electronic devices) and Policy 616 (payment of bills), which were advanced as a first reading. The transcript records motions, seconds, and “All in favor?” confirmations but does not record resulting roll-call tallies.
The board approved educational service agreements with the Martin Luther School, the Vanguard School and New Hope Academy, and approved a settlement and release agreement that had been discussed in executive session; the settlement’s substance was not disclosed in open session because of student confidentiality. Conference approvals included an IBCP workshop in St. Petersburg for Plymouth White Marsh High School teachers — a district requirement to maintain IB certification — and the PWHS Glamour Gals Club leadership conference in New York City on Nov. 22, 2025 (noted as no cost to the district).
Board members also approved miscellaneous consent items including curricular contracts and extracurricular personnel actions listed in the superintendent’s report. The meeting transcript shows routine assent language (“May I have a second?” and “All in favor?”) but does not record named vote tallies for the approved items.
No motions in the public record were recorded as failed or tabled during the meeting.
