Notes and clarifications
- Where the meeting recorded only vocal ayes and not a roll‑call tally, the summaries above reflect the board’s stated outcomes and on‑record voice votes. - The meal‑price action implemented the minimum increase required under federal/state paid‑lunch equity rules; district staff said they had recommended a smaller increase but the state required a 10¢ increase. - Personnel appointments and other items resolved in closed session were approved on reconvening; the transcript certifies the closed‑session procedures and the board’s action to approve the identified items.
