Board rejects change to meeting public-participation policy, approves CASB platform after amendment; consent agenda passes
Summary
At the Aug. 26 meeting the board approved the consent agenda (7-0), declined proposed revisions to board policy GP 3.13 on public participation (2-5), and approved CASB legislative priorities as amended (motion to remove resolution 8 passed 7-0; final motion passed 6-1).
The Poudre School District Board of Education voted on multiple agenda items Aug. 26, including the consent agenda, a second reading of revisions to board policy GP 3.13 on public participation and the board's endorsement of legislative priorities recommended by the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB).
Consent agenda: Director Connor Duffy moved that the board "approve and adopt the recommended actions for the items on the consent agenda." The motion was seconded by Jessica Zamora. The board approved the consent agenda on a roll-call vote, recorded as "Motion passes 7-0." (Roll-call recorded at the meeting.)
Public-participation policy (GP 3.13), second reading: The board considered revisions to GP 3.13, a second-reading action. Director Connor Duffy moved to approve the revisions. After discussion and public input, the motion failed on a roll call of 2-5. The meeting roll call shows two votes in favor (Jim Brokish and Kristen Draper) and five votes against (Connor Duffy, Kevin Havelda, Scott Schoenbauer, Andrew Spain and Jessica Zamora). A yes vote on the version presented would have removed one of the two monthly community-comment sessions; the motion to do so was not adopted.
Legislative priorities and proposed CASB resolutions: The board discussed a packet of CASB resolutions and priorities and debated an item that would allow an at-large, out-of-district candidate to serve on a local board if an immediate family member is enrolled (resolution 8 in the CASB packet). Directors voted to amend the district's endorsement by removing resolution 8; that amendment passed unanimously (7-0). The board then approved the remainder of the legislative priorities (the original motion as amended) by a 6-1 vote. The meeting transcript records Director Scott Schoenbauer voting "No" on the final motion while the other six directors voted in favor.
All formal motions recorded during the meeting were reflected in the meeting minutes and roll-call votes; no ordinance or binding charter action was adopted on these items.
