At its March meeting the Fayetteville Public Schools Board of Education recorded several formal actions. The board voted unanimously on routine and policy items and approved a major construction contract as follows.
Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda as presented in a voice vote after a motion by Board member Tracy Pomeroy and a second from Board member Yvonne Hudson. The chair recorded the motion as carrying 6–0.
J. L. Colbert Junior High GMP: The board approved a guaranteed maximum price for the John L. Colbert junior-high addition after staff and project advisors presented a GMP figure and explained scope and market-driven cost increases. The motion was made by Board member Justin Eichman, seconded by Katrina Osborne; the vote carried 6–0.
Updated strategic plan: The board approved updates to the district strategic plan (changes reflect implementation priorities and the district’s new assessment system) on a motion by Keaton Smith with a second from Tracy Pomeroy; vote carried 6–0.

Those included a proposed code of ethics, changes to athletic-index ranges, revisions addressing possession and use of personal electronic devices in response to new state law, and updates to patron-complaint procedures.
