The board then moved to a consent agenda covering Resolutions 400–414 (with the exception of No. 413, which was removed for separate consideration). The consent agenda (400–414 except 413) was approved by voice vote.
Res. No. 413 (Appointment — Interscholastic Sports Coaches) was removed from the consent agenda at a member’s request and considered separately with a roll-call vote; the motion passed after several members recorded “nay” and others “aye” during roll call (exact tally not specified in the public record excerpt).
A walk-on resolution, Res. No. 415 (Field Trip — Varsity Cheerleading trip to Binghamton, NY, March 7–8, 2025), was read in full as required for walk-on items and approved by voice vote.
Board members did not provide substantive debate recorded on most items during the meeting. Several votes were taken by voice and recorded as “Aye” with no detailed roll-call tallies provided in the transcript for those items.
