The Omaha Public Schools Board of Education recorded several formal votes at its June 16 meeting. Key outcomes were:

The consent agenda included multiple routine items and the meeting record indicates the district accepted substantial completion for Burke High Stadium renovations (item noted on the agenda). Dr. Holman announced an abstention from one consent item (item H-15, Claim C) because of his role with the Omaha Schools Foundation Court.
- Second reading of the updated student code of conduct approved (roll call recorded as nine ayes). The item was advanced from committee so no second was required.
