CSBA Delegate Assembly ballot - Action: Board cast its delegate selections for the 2024–25 CSBA Delegate Assembly; the board ultimately approved six nominee names on the ballot. - Outcome: Motion to submit the selected names carried 5-0. - Names selected (as recorded during the meeting): Beverly Berryman; Trustee Shedd (as a nominee or endorsement noted by board); [several local and regional candidates were listed — the board approved the slate of six names during the meeting].
Consent calendar and contract approvals - Action: Items a–l on the consent calendar were approved (motion passed 5-0). Item m (purchase and warranty of fabric shade structures via CMAS/contract piggyback) was pulled for brief discussion and then approved separately. - Outcome: All consent items approved by vote 5-0.
Notes on the fabric shade/CMAS discussion: Trustees requested clarification about CMAS pricing and internal checks. Staff responded that CMAS and similar state contracts provide line-item pricing and that districts may negotiate for better pricing; staff also stated internal procurement controls and fiscal oversight limit spending to defined project budgets.
Procedural details - Where specific movers/seconders were recorded, they are noted above; roll-call tallies recorded unanimous board votes (5-0) for the listed matters.
Why it matters: These routine and programmatic votes set authorization for the district’s near-term program launches, budget transfers and procurement paths. The DLI approval is a programmatic vote with long-term curricular implications; the financial resolution and consent calendar items enable ongoing operations and capital work.
