Votes and procedure notes - Where the record shows only a voice vote, the minutes record "Aye" and the chair declared motions carried; individual roll‑call tallies were not provided in the transcript for most items. - Several items reference external funding or procurement constraints (for example, the EHS HVAC project described as dependent on a Department of Commerce grant, and the scoreboard and other purchases described as likely procured through a cooperative or multiple quotes depending on dollar thresholds).

Ending: The board acted on the listed resolutions and operational measures; several items include follow‑ups (procurement and final contract terms) that district staff said would be returned for verification or signature as required by statute and district procedure.
