Votes at a glance: Somersworth School Board, Feb. 11, 2025
Summary
The board adopted the consent calendar and approved a three-year First Student transportation contract during its Feb. 11 meeting; the ACAC (Title IX) item was discussed but not voted.
At the Feb. 11 Somersworth School Board meeting the board took the following formal actions related to its agenda items:
1) Consent calendar adopted — The board voted to accept the consent calendar (minutes from Jan. 28; budget and revenue committee minutes from Jan. 28 and Feb. 5; enrollment report; and the 2025–26 school-year calendar). The motion to accept the consent calendar carried by voice vote; the board chair declared the motion adopted.
2) First Student transportation contract approved — As unfinished business the board held a second reading and approved a multi-year transportation contract with First Student for student transportation services. Board members voiced thanks to negotiators; the motion passed by voice vote.
Items discussed but not finalized: the board discussed NHSBA-recommended ACAC (Title IX) language and withdrew a motion to waive rules and accept the NHSBA text; the board instead placed ACAC on the Feb. 18 agenda and asked the policy committee to review it prior to final action.
Vote tallies (as recorded in the meeting): - Consent calendar: adopted by voice vote (board members present at roll call: Maggie Larson, Carrie Clark, Sarah O’Brien Hart, Crystal De Saint Croix, Marcia Brown, Bridget Jamieson, Carly Prescott). - First Student transportation contract: approved by voice vote (same attendance list).
No roll-call vote breakdown with individual yes/no names was recorded in the transcript; the chair announced adoption for the consent calendar and a voice vote for the transportation contract.
