Board approves bundled personnel resolutions (6-64–6-69) and extends timeline for mental-health ad hoc committee (6-61)
Summary
During the special portion of the May 13 meeting the board bundled and approved resolutions 6-64 through 6-69 (personnel items) and voted to amend resolution 6-61 to extend the timeline for the mental-health ad hoc committee; the amendment passed with one recorded nay.
At a special session on May 13, the Rochester City School District Board of Education approved a bundle of personnel resolutions (6-64 through 6-69) and approved an amendment to resolution 6-61 to lengthen the timeline for the district's mental-health ad hoc committee so it can include broader representation.
President Camille Simmons opened the special meeting and entertained a motion to bundle resolutions 6-64 through 6-69. The bundling motion was made by Commissioner Griffin and seconded by Vice President Malloy; the board then moved to a single motion to approve the bundled resolutions. Commissioner Patterson moved the bundle, seconded by Commissioner Griffin; the resolutions carried after the vote.
Commissioner LaVonne (surname used in remarks) publicly thanked Lashara Evans for her service to RCSD and recognized Linda Dunsmore (spelled Dunsmore in remarks) on her retirement, comments the board accepted as part of the personnel discussion.
The board then considered an amendment to resolution 6-61, described by President Simmons as stretching the committee timeline to allow for more robust representation of clinicians and community members. Commissioner Santiago moved the amendment and Commissioner LeBron seconded. During the vote, Commissioner Griffin recorded a "Nay"; the motion nevertheless carried.
Simmons said the change did not alter the purpose of the mental-health ad hoc committee but extended the timeline to allow additional committee members to participate. The board closed the special meeting after approving the motion to adjourn.
