The Great Valley School Board approved several voting items in the February meeting. The board took roll actions on consent, personnel and policy items and recorded unanimous approval for the items presented during the meeting.
Votes at a glance - Consent agenda (Items 8.01–8.17): Motion to approve items 8.01 through 8.17 was moved and seconded; motion passed 9 to 0. - Personnel (Item 10.01): Motion to approve personnel item 10.01 was moved and seconded; motion passed 9 to 0. Board members noted that Teresa Martson had started as the district’s new director of communications and that Dana Jensen (soon-to-be assistant principal) was present in the audience; the personnel approval was acknowledged by board members during the meeting. - Policies (Second reading and adoption; Item 11/2001): Motion to approve policy 11/2001 passed 9 to 0.
Board discussion and clarifications A board member asked questions about field-trip costs on consent items. The board clarified that guided tours for groups of more than 15 students receive the guided tour for free (Longwood Gardens was cited as an example). The board said entrance fees are normally paid by students and families but that alternative funding avenues exist to ensure no student is excluded.
The board opened public participation before the voting items and again afterward; a public speaker urged the board to adopt a Safe Zone Resolution related to immigration enforcement (see separate item). The meeting adjourned by unanimous voice vote.
