The MSD Martinsville Schools Board of Trustees approved its consent agenda and a series of policy and budget items at its regular meeting. Board members voted to approve the consent agenda, 10 policies, multiple school handbooks, a contract described as the "5 Star" contract, a $20,000 Robert D. Blue endowment distribution and a $15,000 Project Lead The Way (PLTW) STEM grant from Eli Lilly. A professional development trip for a district employee to attend the Scale Computing Conference in Las Vegas also received approval.

Board President Heather Staggs opened the votes and asked for motions. Speakers on the record moved and seconded the motions; each measure was carried by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tally provided in the meeting transcript. The board approved the John R. Wooden Middle School handbook, the Bell Intermediate Academy handbook, and the district elementary handbook (applied to all seven elementary schools with minor staffing variations). Board members also approved items 1–10 in a bundled vote after no members requested that any item be pulled for separate consideration.

The Robert D. Blue endowment distribution of $20,000 was approved for career-related awards and a student sash initiative described during the discussion; speakers clarified the sash program (SASH) stands for a set of employability attributes including persistence and dependability. The board approved the PLTW STEM grant from Eli Lilly in the amount of $15,000, earmarked to fund pre-K classes. The transcript records the superintendent recommending approval and board members voting "aye," with the chair announcing "motion carries." The Scale Computing Conference trip for Mr. Myers to Las Vegas was also approved by motion and second.

These actions were routine approvals rather than policy debates: the transcript records little substantive discussion on the individual contracts or handbooks beyond the chair’s recommendation and typical procedural motions to approve. No vote tallies by name were recorded in the transcript; outcomes are reported as the board’s announced result.
