Board tables yearbook MOU amid questions over workload and costs
Summary
Board members asked for clarity about shifting the 9–12 yearbook to the senior high and the effect on units and pricing; the board voted to table the memorandum of understanding until the October meeting.
The board considered a memorandum of understanding that would realign yearbook adviser units so the senior high school yearbook would include grades 9–12. Several board members raised questions about why units remained at the intermediate high school if the senior high would be producing the combined yearbook and expressed concern about student workload and costs.
One board member said combining grades could increase yearbook costs and cited an example that a tenth grader would be charged more under the new arrangement. District staff said one teacher would continue to manage the 9–10 yearbook work and coordinate the inclusion of those students while the senior high produces the consolidated product, and staff agreed to provide follow‑up clarification.
A motion to table the item was made and seconded and the board adopted the motion to table until the October board meeting (time certain). The board asked administration to provide additional detail about unit allocations and how student participation and costs would be handled before the item returns for a vote.
