Key board actions (votes at a glance)

- Out‑of‑state travel — boys and girls basketball (Orlando, FL): The board approved travel for boys and girls basketball to an out‑of‑state tournament over winter break; the coaches said fundraising covered the trip.
- Out‑of‑state travel — DECA (International Career Development Conference): The board approved DECA student travel to the international conference (location in Florida reported) after motion, second and a voice vote.
- PLCs at Work (staff development travel): The board approved out‑of‑state travel for district teams to the PLCs at Work summer institute, funded by the district’s OSSI school improvement grant (not general funds).
- Panorama contract (MTSS platform): The board approved contracting with Panorama, a multi‑tiered system‑of‑support (MTSS) platform. The presenter described a one‑time integration/setup payment of about $10,000 plus an annual operating cost the district estimated at about $47,000; funding was identified from LAP/grant funds.
- RFQ 001‑25 Professional Real Estate Services: The board authorized issuing a request for qualifications to hire professional real estate services for district property transactions.
- Vouchers and consent agenda: The board approved vouchers and the consent agenda as presented.
- Policy readings: The board approved first readings and second/final readings of several policies (including Policy 4,300 limiting certain immigration enforcement in schools and other policy updates); motions carried by voice votes.
How the board voted: Each action was moved, seconded and carried on a recorded voice vote of “aye” in the meeting; there were no roll‑call tallies in the public minutes. The clerk announced the motions were moved and seconded and that the motions carried following trustees’ vocal assent.
Why it matters: The Panorama contract and PLCs at Work training represent multi‑year investments in data systems and professional learning intended to support academic and social‑emotional monitoring district‑wide. Travel approvals reflect continuing extracurricular activities and student competition opportunities.
Ending: The meeting recessed into executive session for a midyear superintendent evaluation after completing the action items.
