At its meeting, the Jacksonville North Pulaski School District Board of Directors approved the consent agenda, the fiscal year 2026 curriculum, and an addendum to personnel actions; each vote passed unanimously.
On a motion and second, the board approved the consent agenda, which included the minutes from the July 14 regular meeting, assistant superintendent reports and the financial report. The clerk called for the vote and the chair announced the motion passed unanimously.
The board then considered the FY26 curriculum.

A recommendation to approve the FY26 curriculum (including reading, writing and personal success skills) was presented; Dr. Ola moved the recommendation and a second was recorded. The board voted aye and the motion passed unanimously.
