Board approves consent agenda and second-reading policy revisions; broad consent passes 6–0
Summary
The board approved a lengthy consent agenda and a package of policy changes on second reading, including minutes, claims, staffing reports, capital projects and multiple memorandum-of-understanding items. Both votes passed 6–0.
The New Albany-Floyd County Board of School Trustees approved a comprehensive consent agenda and a package of policy revisions at the Sept. 22 meeting. Both items were approved on recorded 6–0 votes.
The consent agenda covered numerous routine and program items, including approval of minutes (regular and executive sessions), claims and payroll, monthly transfers, staffing reports, change orders for athletic facilities, donations and agreements with outside partners. Specific items listed by staff included: change order for the New Albany/Floyd Central football scoreboard project, a roofing-contractor donation, overnight field trip requests, donations to Hazelwood Middle School, New Albany High School, and Prosser Career Education Center, an engagement letter with Policy Analytics LLC, a transportation joint program fund agreement, a resolution to investigate real estate, gym renovation projects at Floyd Central and New Albany, a Floyd Central softball field project, a Floyd Central weight room addition, declaration of textbooks for salvage recycling, a memorandum of understanding with Lettuce Learn Inc., renewal of orientation and mobility services agreements for 2025–26, New Albany High School air-cooled chiller repairs, authorization to issue credit cards for extracurricular accounts, and a memorandum between Ivy Tech and Prosser Career Education Center.
Board members then approved a second-reading package of policy revisions. Staff explained most of the policy changes were technical updates or consolidations of multiple existing policies (for example, 0164 and 0165 consolidations were described). The board accepted the second reading and approved the listed policies by roll call vote 6–0.
The meeting record shows roll-call “ayes” from board members identified in the meeting as Missus Baugh, Missus Galligan, Mister Nafis, Missus Northup and Missus Gardner (and vote tallies indicate six affirmative votes). No board member recorded a no vote or an abstention on either item. The consent agenda vote and the policies vote were routine approvals recorded during the regular meeting following the public budget hearing.
