The Early Learning Advisory Council voted to approve the prior meeting's minutes and completed an internal election for co-chair during the June meeting.
At the start of the meeting an unnamed member moved to approve the minutes; multiple participants responded "Aye" and the chair announced the motion had passed. The meeting record shows no roll-call tally recorded in the transcript.
Later in the session members were asked to cast their votes for the co-chair position. Council staff collected ballots via the link posted in the meeting chat and shared the results during closing remarks. Dre (meeting moderator) announced that "the votes are in" and confirmed that the council had elected Dr. Brian Knowles as the newly elected co-chair. Knowles spoke briefly and said he looked forward to working with the council.
What this means: The council's business items were completed: minutes from the previous meeting were approved and the council selected Dr. Brian Knowles to serve as co-chair.
