Context and notes
The procurement approvals cover contracts for bread, milk and other food products for the 2025–26 school year (term listed 07/01/2025–06/30/2026). The revised 2024–25 budget passed by the board had been recommended at committee and staff said the board will receive auction results next month. The student-conduct guide amendment replaces a brand-name reference with a generic shoe type to avoid loopholes in enforcement.
There were no recorded roll-call vote lists attached to the meeting transcript; each motion was announced in the meeting as "Motion passes. 11." The board did not debate every item at length; several motions were moved and seconded from committee recommendations and carried without further comment.
