Votes and tallies: where the transcript recorded the outcome as "Motion passes unanimously. With trustee DeFazio absent," this summary records the outcome as unanimous with one absent; specific per‑member roll calls were not read for every vote in the public transcript. All motions above carried on voice votes recorded in open session.
Why it matters: the approved expanded‑learning contract and the parcel‑tax and bond oversight governance items have direct budget and program implications; the summer delegation resolution allows staff limited ability to authorize essential operational contracts during the summer subject to board ratification.
