The Webster School District board voted Aug. 19 to approve proposed governance changes to the multi-district cooperative agreement (referred to as ASH 1). Staff said the amendments are technical and clarify procedures, including a formalized process for a district to leave the consortium.

The board heard that the cooperative agreement dates to 1986 and that Webster did not join until February 2004; the presenter said the changes are largely language updates to align the agreement across districts. He said every member district must approve the same language by Dec. 31 for the changes to take effect.

Motion and vote: Michelle moved to approve the governance changes to ASH 1; Linda seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote: all present said "Aye."
