Board moves on policy changes, consent agenda and out‑of‑district travel; tallies recorded where available
Summary
St. Lucie County School Board took motions on proposed policy amendments, approved the consent agenda and authorized a board member to attend the FSBA School Finance Forum. Some procedural votes were recorded; a formal roll call for the policy-adoption motion was not recorded in the transcript.
The St. Lucie County School Board took three formal items during its meeting: board members moved to adopt proposed amendments to multiple school board policies, approved the consent agenda and authorized out‑of‑district travel for a board member.
The superintendent recommended adoption of proposed amendments to policy numbers 1000, 3000 and 4000 (violation of school board policy); policies 1432, 2432 and 4432 (absence without leave); and policy 9800 (charter schools). A motion and a second were made on the set of policy amendments; the transcript records the motion and second but does not include an explicit roll‑call or final tally for that motion.
The board approved the consent agenda, which included payment of November 2024 bills; monthly financial reports for November 2024; various lease agreements (listed as Max Davis associate lease agreements for several schools, the superintendent's office and maintenance); declaration of surplus property; an educational plant survey and a St. Lucie Public Schools land exchange; a City of Port St. Lucie utility item for Legacy High School; an amendment to a Western Grove education impact fee agreement; and human resources actions. The consent agenda passed with the board announcing “Motion carries 5‑0.”
Separately, the board approved out‑of‑district travel for a board member to attend the Florida School Boards Association (FSBA) School Finance Forum scheduled Feb. 5–7 in Gainesville. That travel request motion was moved, seconded and approved; the transcript records the motion carrying with no recorded opposition.

The board did not record roll‑call vote details (individual yes/no votes) for the policy adoption motion in the available transcript. The consent agenda and travel request were announced as carried without roll call details beyond the chair’s call for “Aye” and the chair’s announcement that the motion carried 5‑0.
The board’s meeting minutes and the posted agenda packet on the district website are the authoritative records for final vote tallies and should be consulted for official vote roll calls and ordinance/policy text.
