3) Policy BSR 5 (second reading) — amendment adoption Motion: Approve policy BSR 5 as amended (language change to item number 7 to allow evaluation calendar flexibility; changed timing language from fixed month to each year).

4) Health insurance vendor decision Motion: Approve district administration’s recommendation to change employee health insurance coverage to Dean Health Plan, Incorporated, effective July 1, 2025.

Second: John (board member) seconded the motion in the record. Outcome: Approved by voice vote. District staff said implementation and employee communications will follow.
Notes on voting: The transcript records these actions as voice votes (members were asked to “signify with aye”), and no roll‑call counts were read aloud in the public record provided. Where the transcript names motioners or seconders those names are listed; where full roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript, the outcome is recorded as “approved” or “adopted” per the board’s voice vote.
