Formal votes

- Enter executive session: The board moved to adjourn and convene executive session citing "section 6 10 dot 0 2 2, subsections 6 10 dot 0 2 1 3 and 13." The motion was seconded and the chair conducted a roll‑call. Recorded responses in the transcript: "Jared? Yes. Sarah? Yes. Julie? Yes. Jason? [not audible in transcript], Lance? Yes. Aaron? Yes. And I'm a yes." The transcript reflects unanimous approval in the roll call (seven yes responses as spoken).

Direction (not formal votes)

Several agenda items produced board direction rather than formal motions: administrators were asked to 1) implement a one‑year pilot plan to address student lunch debt and solicit collection vendors and community partners; 2) contact and schedule interviews with three superintendent‑search firms (MSBA, HYA, Ray & Associates); 3) draft policy and technical controls for a proposed cell‑phone stipend; and 4) return revised CSIP priority language with measurable course‑development targets. These were recorded as board directions or consensus rather than formal, recorded roll‑call votes.

Ending: Administration will return those items to the board with draft language, vendor quotes or evaluation metrics for board action where required.
