Summary
The board approved the calendar of meeting dates for the coming year and held discussion about shifting some school-visit meetings from 5:30 p.m. to daytime to coincide with schools being in session; members agreed to revisit details in September.
The Quincy School District Board of Directors approved the calendar of board meeting dates for the coming year and held a substantive discussion about changing certain evening school-visit meetings to daytime sessions.
Board leadership proposed moving some scheduled 5:30 p.m. school-visit meetings to an 11:30 a.m. business meeting slot so board members could visit schools while students and staff were present. Members noted that remote participation increases flexibility but also flagged potential conflicts with staff work schedules and with board members who work daytime jobs. The board agreed to finalize dates and to revisit modifications at the Sept. 9 meeting (a follow-up review was proposed for September). A motion to approve the proposed meeting calendar carried by voice vote.
No formal amendment to the calendar times was implemented at the meeting; board leadership said the calendar could be modified at a future meeting if needed. The record shows a plan to rotate which school is visited first so the same school does not always go first.
