The board took routine meeting actions: recessed to executive session for personnel, adopted the meeting agenda and approved consent business (including a memorandum of understanding related to the Peace and Justice Initiative); all recorded motions carried unanimously.

The USD 501 Board of Education recorded three formal motions during the meeting: a recess into executive session for confidential personnel matters, adoption of the agenda and approval of items of business by consent. Each motion carried unanimously.
