Votes at a glance

- Cancel March 4 regular board meeting (Agenda item 2.01): Motion to cancel the March 4 meeting was moved and seconded; the board passed the motion by voice vote. The motion cited that four trustees would travel to Carson City for the legislature and there was currently no pressing business scheduled for March 4.

- Approve proposed edits to Policy DHF (employee reimbursements) — "Policy DHF Jeff and CJ edits 1" (Agenda item 2.02): The board moved and seconded approval; the motion passed by voice vote. The board noted edits were largely rearrangements and cosmetic to align policy language with district forms; a redline version had not been issued.

- Approve consent agenda (Agenda item 3.01): Motion moved and seconded; voice vote recorded as passing.

- Approve accounts payable (Agenda item 6.01): Motion moved and seconded; trustees disclosed potential conflicts of interest on record and voted; the motion passed by voice vote.

- Approve 2025–26 school calendar (Agenda item 7.05): After a closed session under NRS 288.22 to discuss the negotiated calendar, the board returned to open session and approved the calendar by voice vote.

Notes on vote format: The meeting transcript records these actions as voice votes with trustees responding "Aye"; individual roll-call tallies (a named yes/no list with counts) are not included in the audio transcript. Where members disclosed conflicts or affiliations at the accounts-payable vote, they said they would still vote.

Ending: The board directed staff to publish outcomes and follow through on implementation steps for the approved calendar and policy edits.
