Board accepts donations, rescinds several policies; motions carried
Summary
The Sartell‑St. Stephen School Board accepted multiple donations, rescinded a set of policies and moved to rescind policy 606.3 in a separate vote; motions carried on all items presented during the action‑items portion of the meeting.
The Sartell‑St. Stephen School Board on March 1 approved a resolution accepting donations and voted to rescind several older policies, including a separate motion to rescind policy 606.3. Board members moved and seconded each action and recorded the motions as carried.
Donations accepted under the resolution included cash and in‑kind gifts: Miller Auto Plaza donated $2,500 to Sabre Robotics; Community Theater Supporters donated $635 to the Sartell Middle School sixth‑grade spring play; Sabre's All Sport Booster Club donated $1,460 to girls' soccer and $513.06 to girls' golf; an individual (listed as Blaine Hill Hilly/Hilly) donated musical instruments valued at $2,890 to ISD 748 Music; Sheen Haas Foundation donated $2,750 to Sabre Robotics; and Central Canvas Manufacturing Inc. donated materials and labor valued at $4,100 for a golf project. The board approved the donations by voice vote.
The board then moved to rescind several policy numbers that had been replaced by more recent language. The board approved a motion to rescind policies (listed in the packet as 606.1, 606.2, 606.3, 606.4 and 606.5 as presented) and later approved a specific motion to rescind 606.3 at second reading. During the motions, one board member raised a procedural concern about electing a chair while a board member was absent; the board tabled an agenda item (item 4) until full presence and later proceeded with votes on action items.
Motions recorded in the meeting text (as captured in the transcript): the donations resolution was moved by Matt and seconded by Jen; the rescind‑policy motion was moved by Jen; board members approved the consent agenda and other routine items earlier in the meeting. The transcript records voice votes for the action items and that motions carried; individual roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the public transcript for these agenda votes.
The board did not take additional formal actions related to the donations or the rescinded policies at the March meeting beyond the approvals noted above.
