Board bundles and approves multiple resolutions, enters executive session
Summary
During a March 11 special meeting the board voted to enter executive session and later bundled and approved resolutions 553–561 in a voice vote; motions to adjourn were also carried. The board recorded no roll-call tallies in the public transcript.
At a March 11 special meeting convened for consideration of resolutions, the Rochester Board of Education recorded several formal motions and voice votes.
The board voted to enter executive session: motion by Vice President Malloy, seconded by Commissioner Griffin; the chair called for the vote and the transcript records the board response as "Aye." The board returned from executive session later in the evening and resumed the public special meeting.
The board then moved to bundle resolutions 553 through 561: moved by Vice President Malloy and seconded by Commissioner Griffin. The chair opened the bundled resolutions for discussion; seeing no discussion, the chair entertained a motion to vote on bundled resolutions 553–561. The motion to vote was made by Commissioner Griffin and seconded by Vice President Malloy. The transcript records the voice vote as "Aye;" the chair announced, "Resolutions 5 53 through 5 61 carry."
At the conclusion of the special meeting, the chair entertained a motion to adjourn: moved by Vice President Malloy, seconded by Commissioner Griffin. The transcript records an "Aye" voice vote and the meeting was adjourned.
Why it matters: The transcript shows that the board used voice votes to move a block of resolutions rather than conducting separate roll-call votes for each item in public record. The public transcript does not record individual named tallies or the text of the bundled resolutions; the board clerk and BoardDocs should be consulted for the full text and official vote records.
