Board approves agenda, consent items and two action items; public-comment structure changed

The Brevard Public Schools Board of Education took several routine and procedural votes on Feb. 25, approving the evening's agenda, a 22-item consent agenda and two action items; it also approved a change to the public-comment structure.

Adopted agenda and consent: The board voted to adopt the meeting agenda as amended (the board noted one added job description, one revised procurement solicitation listing and one removed administrative recommendation). The board then approved the consent agenda containing 22 items; roll-call votes recorded members in support.

Action items approved: The board approved travel to the Florida National Summit on School Safety (agenda item for conference attendance) and approved procurement solicitations listed as H-34. Both motions passed on roll-call votes.

Public comment procedure changed: A motion by board member Miss Campbell to separate public comment into an "agenda" segment and a "non-agenda" segment, each with three-minute time limits for up to eight speakers, was approved by roll call; the board also agreed that non-agenda public comment later in the evening would occur with cameras off.

Vote summary (as recorded at the meeting): For the votes reported during the meeting, the roll call responses were recorded as follows: Miss Campbell — Aye; Mister Trent — Aye; Mister Susan — Aye; Miss Wright — Aye. The meeting transcript records unanimous board support on the items presented that evening.

Ending: Several informational items were presented but not acted on; the board said items on the information agenda may be returned for action at a subsequent meeting.
