Paola board adopts new Paola High School 3D animation course, approves KASB policy updates (except CD); votes to enter executive session
Summary
The Paola Board of Education adopted the agenda and consent agenda, approved a new Paola High School 3D animation business course and a set of KASB-recommended policy updates (retaining policy CD), and voted to enter a 15-minute executive session to discuss negotiations; recorded votes were unanimous at 6-0 for each listed action.
The Paola Board of Education unanimously adopted its agenda and consent agenda, approved a new 3D animation course for Paola High School, accepted a package of Kansas Association of School Boards (KASB) recommended policy updates while retaining policy CD, and voted to enter executive session to discuss contract negotiations.
The meeting began with procedural votes: the agenda and the consent agenda were each adopted on voice/hand votes recorded as 6-0.
On an action item, the board approved a new Paola High School business course in 3D animation. Tammy (staff member) described the course as “a new course they're asking to add. It will give additional options to students ... This will be supported with the new computers and then, the software that we have.” The motion to approve the course passed 6-0.
The board then considered KASB-recommended board policy updates. The board moved to approve the KASB-recommended updates as presented but to retain policy CD rather than deleting it. The transcript lists multiple policy codes discussed (BDA, CG, CGI [deletion proposed], CNA, DE, EFAC, DFH, GAE, ICA, IDACA, JGFGAA, JGFGBA, KN among others); the motion as recorded approved the package with the exception of removing CGI/CD. The motion passed 6-0.
Later the board voted to go into executive session “to discuss negotiations in order to protect privacy, interest in negotiating a fair, equitable contract,” naming two participants to remain (the maker said “Myself and Jimmy”) and setting a return time; the motion to enter executive session passed 6-0 and the chair stated a 15-minute recess.
Other routine business and acknowledgments at the start of the meeting included employee-of-the-month presentations and staff reports on school events and activities. The transcript contains no recorded amendments to motions and no identified movers or seconders by name for the votes reported as 6-0.
