Board accepts audit, approves principal contracts, student travel and dual‑enrollment agreements in unanimous votes
Summary
At the meeting the board accepted the fiscal audit, approved three principal contracts, granted early graduation for three students, approved FBLA national travel, a Kinder Camp MOU with United Way of Northern Arizona, and a dual‑enrollment IGA for 2025–26, all by unanimous votes or roll call acceptance.
The Blue Ridge Unified School District board recorded several unanimous decisions including acceptance of the fiscal audit, approval of principal contracts and out‑of‑state student travel, and agreements to continue early‑college options.
Key outcomes (votes at a glance): - Audit acceptance (Item 3.1): Board conducted a roll call vote to accept the district’s FY audit as presented. Board members recorded their acceptance; the audit was described to the board as “unmodified” and staff noted removal of a prior material finding related to a reconciliation with the county superintendent’s office.
- Early graduation (Item 3.2): The board approved early graduation for three high‑school students “as presented.” Motion carried unanimously (mover recorded as Silviana; second from Michael Granio).
- FBLA out‑of‑state travel (Item 3.3): The board approved FBLA travel to nationals in Anaheim, Calif., June 28–July 3; district support of $1,000 per student from NAVA was noted and club funds will cover remaining costs. Motion by Margaret, second by Silviana; vote unanimous.
- Principal contracts (Item 3.4): The board approved three principal contracts: the new elementary principal, junior‑high principal and confirmation of Ryan Grace as high‑school principal for next year. Motion from Michael Granio, second from Margaret; vote unanimous.
- Kinder Camp memorandum with United Way of Northern Arizona (Item 3.5): The board approved the annual MOU for kindergarten readiness programming. Motion from Bridget, second from Silviana; vote unanimous.
- Intergovernmental agreement for dual enrollment and Talon (Item 3.6): The board approved the IGA to continue dual‑enrollment and Talon course offerings for 2025–26, enabling students to earn both high‑school and college credit. Motion from Michael Granio, second from Silviana; vote unanimous.
- Consent agenda (Items 2.1–2.4): The consent agenda was approved as a group; item 2.5 (fundraisers) was pulled for separate consideration and later approved separately. Item 2.5 was discussed briefly (the district will revisit a planned talent show), then approved by motion from Michael Granio with a second from Margaret; vote unanimous.
Why it matters: acceptance of the unmodified audit clears the district of material findings from the prior year and improves standing for bond rating considerations; the dual‑enrollment agreement preserves access to college credit for students; principal contracts complete leadership hires before the next school year.
No contested or split votes were recorded on these items; all were approved by the board during the meeting.
