- Renewal of PowerSchool services for the 2025–26 school year in the amount of $116,480.21. The board approved the renewal by roll call.

Roll‑call votes as recorded in the meeting minutes show consistent majorities for these items. For example, when the board voted to authorize publication of the tentative budget, the roll call recorded "Miss Molinaro? Aye. Miss Dixon? Aye. Miss Morris? Aye. Dr. Fisher? Aye. Mr. Ocampo? Aye. Miss Smith? Aye. Miss Barbourhan? Aye." The board then announced "Motion carried." Similar roll calls and "aye" responses are recorded for the other approved items listed above.

Motions to terminate several employees were presented and carried by roll call. Minutes show some abstentions recorded on at least one termination motion; the minutes list the names called and the votes as recorded by the board secretary.

The board introduced no new ordinances or changes to district policy that required second readings or separate legislative action at this meeting.
