Context and follow‑up

Several items received additional board direction despite unanimous votes. In particular, the audit acceptance included a directive for staff to present a timeline and controls to prevent future instructional‑minutes and ADA documentation errors. The interim independent‑study approval directed staff to produce clear guidance for families, update district forms, and add coding in Synergy. The retired‑annuitant schedule changes were administrative fixes requested during recent staffing transitions.

Ending

All recorded motions in the meeting passed by unanimous recorded votes (5–0) where votes were documented on the record. Several items will return to the board as informational follow‑ups or formal policy actions.
